Postby carpenox » Sat Mar 12, 2022 11:36 am

Good morning all,

Many many of you have asked me for this even though its really not hard the way the ViciDial Group has setup their ISO with vicibox-install but heres an article for those of you who use scratch installs: https://dialer.one/how-to-setup-a-vicidial-cluster/

I hope this helps

Cool post.

Is this updated from our original VICIdial Multi-Server Manual from a decade ago?

That article probably started me off years ago, but I've come to form my own method of installations that allows the fail over of services if need be

Hey carpenox!

Thanks for this great post. One question, the article mentions servers...and I'm just cheap and I have a few Raspberry Pis sitting around. Do you think a Pi 2 / 3 would be up to running say MariaDB or Asterisk?

Would love to make these SBCs useful again and building my own ViCiDial cluster would be awesome! Let me know if you think a Pi could handle that.

Thanks,
Martin.

Dialers can run on as little as 10G space assuming you either are not recording or have the scripts set to move the recordings off the server every 3 minutes and then modify the system to delete the recordings once moved.

Processor power is of course a factor, but that merely limits the number of live calls.

Database is touchy as the CPU and Memory of the DB server is a major issue if you have more than a couple agents.

Web servers, on the other hand, can definitely be run on anything capable of apache. They store no data. 10G HD is plenty.
