TIPS Anyone install IPBX or PIAF on a Digital Ocean Droplet?

[CoolPBX]

I am a Via Verio refugee that does a lot of web hosting for end users. I was with Verio/NTT for almost 13 years. They are going out of business (at least web hosting business) at the end of this month.

I've moved everything to DigitalOcean.com and was wondering if anyone has attempted to install any flavor of Asterisk based PBX on a DO "droplet".

Anyone?

Sure. Many of us. Go check out the nerdvittles.com articles that discuss doing exactly that.

I must have been doing the WRONG google search for this topic. Didn't see Nerd Uno pop up on any of them.

BUT VERY GOOD TO KNOW!!

Thanks!

No worries. Nerdvittles.com is (other than this forum, of course) the go-to resource for everything PIAF and I-PBX related. There are many, many discussions in that blog relating to Digital Ocean. Search this forum as well for discussions relating to PIAF/I-PBX and D.O. -- it is a relatively common topic.

I have personally set up several I-PBX instances on D.O. -- piece of cake, and (IMHO) reliable enough for production installations (although I do tend to keep a cold-standby hardware machine in the closet "just in case"). Note that any production installations I have been involved with are definitely on the small side: a dozen extensions; a half-dozen trunks. Nothing substantial.
