Installing VitalPBX in a Multi-Instance environment using Proxmox is a process that requires advanced technical knowledge in virtualization and system administration. Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment) is an open-source virtualization platform that allows for the creation and management of virtual machines and containers. Here’s a general guide for installing VitalPBX in a multi-instance environment using Proxmox:
1. Preparing the Proxmox Environment
- Install Proxmox VE: Ensure you have Proxmox VE installed on your server. You can download it from the official Proxmox website.
- Network Configuration: Set up the network in Proxmox to ensure that each VitalPBX instance has access to the internet and the local network.
2. Creating Virtual Machines (VMs)
- Create VMs: In the Proxmox interface, create virtual machines for each VitalPBX instance you want to run. Allocate resources like CPU, memory, and storage according to needs.
- Install Operating System: VitalPBX is typically installed on Debian, so install a compatible version of Debian on each VM.
3. Installing VitalPBX
- Access the VMs: Use SSH or the Proxmox console to access each VM where you will install VitalPBX.
- Download VitalPBX: Download the VitalPBX installer. You can get the installation script from the VitalPBX website.
- Run the Installer: Execute the VitalPBX installation script on each VM. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
4. Post-Installation Configuration
- Network Configuration: Set up the network in each VitalPBX instance to ensure they can communicate with each other and external devices if necessary.
- Configure VitalPBX: Configure the VitalPBX instances according to your needs, setting up SIP trunks, extensions, IVR, etc.
5. Maintenance and Management
- Backups and Updates: Make sure to perform regular backups and keep the VitalPBX instances updated.
- Monitoring: Use monitoring tools to oversee the performance and health of your VitalPBX instances.
Additional Considerations
- Licensing: Review the licenses and terms of use of VitalPBX, especially if you plan to use it in a commercial environment.
- Security: Implement appropriate security measures, including firewalls and access policies.
- Documentation and Support: Refer to the official documentation of VitalPBX and Proxmox for detailed information and support.
This guide provides an overview of the process, but specific details may vary based on your environment setup and particular requirements. It is advisable to have experience in Linux system administration and virtualization to undertake this project.
