Contatta on NethServer 8

[Amygos]

The Contatta module consists of three parts:

• A FreePBX module that writes the dial plan and has a web interface for configuring the IP addresses of AGIs and the access user for AMI.
• A set of APIs:

- Authentication
- Trunk creation
- Enable/disable trunk
- Delete trunk
- GET/POST/DELETE inbound routes and outbound routes
- GET/POST/DELETE custom destinations
- Create calls for predictive dialing

• The authentication for the REST APIs is done with a random key generated during installation and shared.

• Enables an SMB share to share audio files.

Work required for implementation on NethServer 8:

1.  NethVoice: implementation of custom module installation
   

2.  FreePBX Module: No significant modifications required
   

3. API: It is no longer possible to directly copy the files into the filesystem, but we can place them in the FreePBX module under the htdocs folder, which will expose them in /freepbx/contatta
   

4. The generation of the authentication key and tables, previously done by the installation event, should be moved to the install() of the FreePBX module
   

5. Sharing of recordings: A possible solution is to share the recording volume (and possibly the audio files) with sftpgo https://sftpgo.github.io/.
   

Estimated time:

1 - 8h: I thought of adding a volume from which the modules are taken and copied at the container startup.

2,3,4 - 8h: Possibly less, but some testing will be needed for the installation and update part.

5 - 8h: Using the sftpgo container seems straightforward; my concern is how to expose it, the routes, and what happens during NethVoice updates.

Additionally, some time will be needed for testing and writing an installation procedure.
