[VoiceOps] Centralized management for distributed Asterisk servers

[Darren Schreiber]

The blue.box software has a module that lets you split up individual user configs into separate directories. Then you can use the other strategies listed here to copy those dirs to specific servers only, distributing your clients (potentially locally or in the hosted area)

Add to the already posted good hints:

3. Use cfEngine http://www.cfengine.org/ or puppet (I prefer this last one) http://www.puppetlabs.com/ to distribute configuration.

The good thing about cfEngine or puppet is you can manage not only asterisk configuration, but all server configuration on all boxes. Mind the big trouble in managing the configuration by hand when you need to change the root password, add an ssh-key or install a new package on all boxes.

Two decent options come to mind, depending on how you manage your configurations:

1. Regular rsync of the configurations from a central server.

2. Put the configuration in mysql, and use mysql replication from master to the slave sites. Each site would use the configuration in the local MySQL installation.

I have a customer that wants to maintain a standalone asterisk server at each of roughly 20 sites with a centralized configuration engine. Something similar to what Fonality (I think?) used to offer. They simply will not go with a centralized/hosted solution. Anyone know of anything similar to this?

Thanks,
Rob
