Beta

A PBX that is simple to set up.

EchoPBX is for people who want to host their own phone system without the hassle that usually comes with it. Manage extensions, trunks and queues from a clean web interface, with Asterisk doing the work underneath.

Install EchoPBX View on GitHub

Run it with Docker

Terminal

$ sudo docker run -d --name echopbx --restart unless-stopped --network=host -v /opt/echopbx:/data ghcr.io/ljfloor/echopbx:main

Then open http://<server-ip>:8740 and the setup wizard walks you through creating an admin account.

Features

Everything a small phone system needs

Extensions

Create an extension and connect a softphone like MicroSIP or Zoiper, or a physical IP phone. Connected devices show up right away.

Trunks

Connect to your SIP provider with a host, username and password. Decide per trunk what happens when a call comes in.

Queues

Ring all, round robin, fewest calls or random. Set timeouts, wrap-up time, an announcement and your own music on hold.

Call flows

Play messages, offer a phone menu and transfer callers to a queue. Build the flow visually and test it with a test call.

Dashboard

See ongoing calls live, along with active extensions, active trunks and system uptime.

One container

Asterisk and the web interface ship together in a single Docker image. All data lives in one volume.
