PBX and Surveillance System
by Zloty from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VMH5)
Hi
I'm retooling an old PC for a couple of purposes. I will be using it to learn Linux and more specifically as a first project, set it up to run a PBX using soft phones and one ATA adapter. In addition, I want to run camera surveillance on it.
My initial research suggested using FreePBX and Zoneminder, but I have noted that they seem to clash. So, my questions are as follows:
- is there any particular distro suited to the above tasks?
- are there better alternatives to Zoneminder and FreePBX to achieve my aims which do not clash?
- is there an optimal way to run Zoneminder and FreePBX without clashing? I have seen conflicting ocmments about containers/VMs in this regard.
Any broad suggestions would also be appreciated.
Thanks
