Re: [asterisk-users] Which is the most FHS-esque way to run several Asterisk instances on a single host ?

Link [1] interestingly details how you can run several daemon instances
with systemctl.
Note that the author uses things like

/run/asterisk/instance-foo
/var/lib/asterisk/instance-foo

How about using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lxc ?

It's much lighter in resource usage on the physical server than doing full 
KVM- or XEN-style virtualisation, but provides all the separation and 
compartmentalisation you need.

[asterisk-users] Which is the most FHS-esque way to run several Asterisk instances on a single host ?

2020-11-20 Thread Olivier
Hello,

What is the most FHS-esque (see [1])  way to run several Asterisk instances
on a single (Debian) host ?

What would you recommend ?
Would gather each instance directories (etc/, run/, lib/, ...)  in
something like /srv/instance1/
(it doesn't please me as I like to put variable data in /var and on so) ?

Alternatively, would you with /etc/asterisk1/, /var/lib/asterisk1, ... ?

Would you even create a dedicated system user, one per instance, to further
isolate asterisk instances data ?

"requires" a -r option while  /usr/sbin/rasterisk does not ?
