For some time, the link to reach the demonstration platform is no longer functional. The VPS hosting PyFreeBilling Demo Service is no longer active.

How do you deploy your telephony software?

What technologies do you use to deploy your VoIP applications in production: physical server, virtual machine (VMWare, KVM …), container (Docker, LXC, LXD …)? Can you explain your choices?

First of all, the interface is only accessible via the HTTPS protocol with a default configuration that excludes SSL / TLS versions that are not…
