I switched some of my freeswitch systems from deb packages to a freeswitch docker/podman container before. (using freeswitch for SBC-like functions and fax servers)

We run those with --network=host, so putting freeswitch in a container doesn't affect nat traversal etc. at all.

The debian bookworm based images with my minimal set of freeswitch modules were ~250MB, the nix based image with the same freeswitch version & modules is ~150MB. That's a nice improvement. #freeswitch #nix

Got fed up with #freeswitch's apt repo and it's required account etc. If you're stuck at that step because enterprise mail madness you can't install freeswitch.

Now I was looking for the best way to build a freeswitch container image that doesn't require signalwire's package repos. It seems that #nix is a great tool to build exactly what's required into an image. And they have freeswitch packages that can easily be customized.

it's been really long time since I last visited FreeSWITCH documentation.... I still hate it

extremely unorganized, dead links everywhere

Posted an example of using #freeswitch ESL for a go(lang) powered Lenny in the examples section of fs-eventsocket

For those who might have missed it or if you just want to review it again, I'm happy to share with you all, the video for my talk: 'Enabling AI-Powered Conversations at Scale with Kamailio, FreeSwitch, and RTPEngine' at this Year's FOSDEM. 👉 https://video.fosdem.org/2025/k3601/fosdem-2025-6285-enabling-ai-powered-conversations-at-scale-with-kamailio-freeswitch-and-rtpengine.av1.webm
I also want to give a special thank you to Fosdem and to the RTC devroom for the opportunity and of course to my company Talkdesk for supporting me in this.
See u next yr.

I've been spending the weekend figuring out how to build Debian packages so I can build a FreeSwitch package.

Then while looking up a compilation error for SpanDSP (a library used by FreeSwitch), I found a company that already built a container that does exactly what I'm wanting to do.

Thank you to the fine folks at ProVoice for sharing your package build setup. I'm going to have to go and test it out.

Finally got Freeswitch to compile. Now to try and get a usable package made.

I wish there was some easy tutorial that clearly explained how the Debian package format worked. I'm trying to pick up the details from automation scripts and smaller tutorials.
