- Configure script parameters:
```
${UNIQUEID} ${CALLERID(num)} ${EXTEN}
```
- Set execution permissions:
```bash
sudo chmod +x /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/process_call
sudo chown asterisk:asterisk /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/process_call
```
- Configure recording options:
- Set recording format to WAV

```
3. Configure Webhook Integration:
- Go to Admin → Advanced Settings
- Navigate to "Webhooks" section
- Add new webhook:
- Name: vBot Call Processing
- URL: https://iajitpanday-vbot.hf.space/api/v1/process-call
- Method: POST
- Headers:
```
X-API-Key: your_api_key
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
```
- Payload:
```
file=@${RECORDING_FILE}
caller_number=${CALLERID(num)}
called_number=${EXTEN}
```
- Configure webhook triggers:
- Event: Call Recording Complete
- Conditions: All calls
- Set retry policy:
- Max retries: 3
- Retry interval: 5 seconds
- Enable webhook logging:
```bash
sudo nano /etc/asterisk/logger.conf
# Add:
[logfiles]
webhook => notice,warning,error,debug
```
- Test webhook:
```bash
# Test webhook delivery
curl -X POST https://iajitpanday-vbot.hf.space/api/v1/process-call \
-H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-F "file=@/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/test.wav" \
-F "caller_number=+1234567890" \
-F "called_number=+0987654321"
# Test webhook reception
curl -X POST https://your-freepbx-domain.com/customer_webhook/webhook.php \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"test": true}'
```
4. Configure SSL:
- Go to Admin → Certificates
- Generate or upload SSL certificate
- Configure HTTPS settings
- Verify SSL configuration
## Step 3: Webhook Integration
1. Install Webhook Package:
```bash
cd /var/www/html
git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/iajitpanday/vBot/customer_webhook
cd customer_webhook
composer install
```
2. Configure Webhook:
```bash
cp config/config.example.php config/config.php
nano config/config.php
```
```php
<?php
return [
'db' => [
'host' => 'localhost',
'name' => 'vbot_calls',
'user' => 'vbot_user',
'pass' => 'your_password'
],
'api_key' => 'your_api_key',
'api_url' => 'https://iajitpanday-vbot.hf.space',
'webhook_secret' => 'your_webhook_secret'
];
```
3. Set Permissions:
```bash
chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/www/html/customer_webhook
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/customer_webhook
```
## Step 4: Database Setup
1. Create Database:
```sql
CREATE DATABASE vbot_calls;
USE vbot_calls;
-- This table stores all call records locally
-- The central vBot server does not store call records
CREATE TABLE call_records (
id VARCHAR(36) PRIMARY KEY,
customer_id INT NOT NULL,
caller_number VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
called_number VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
transcription TEXT,
summary TEXT,
sentiment VARCHAR(50),
keywords TEXT,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
```
2. Create Database User:
```sql
CREATE USER 'vbot_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON vbot_calls.* TO 'vbot_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
```
## Step 5: Call Processing Setup
1. Configure Dialplan:
- Go to Admin → Dialplan
- Add custom dialplan for call recording
- Configure post-recording processing
2. Set Up AGI Script:
```bash
nano /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/process_call
```
```bash
#!/bin/bash
CALL_ID=$1
CALLER=$2
CALLED=$3
curl -X POST https://iajitpanday-vbot.hf.space/api/v1/process-call \
-H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-F "file=@/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/${CALL_ID}.wav" \
-F "caller_number=${CALLER}" \
-F "called_number=${CALLED}"
```
3. Set Script Permissions:
```bash
chmod +x /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/process_call
chown asterisk:asterisk /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/process_call
```
## Step 6: Security Configuration
1. Firewall Setup:
```bash
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
sudo ufw allow 5060/udp # SIP
sudo ufw allow 10000:20000/udp # RTP
sudo ufw enable
```
2. SSL Configuration:
- Use Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates
- Configure automatic renewal
- Use strong cipher suites
3. File Permissions:
- Secure webhook handler files
- Restrict access to call recordings
- Use appropriate ownership
## Step 7: Testing
1. Test Call Recording:
```bash
# Make a test call
# Check recording directory
ls -l /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/
# Check FreePBX logs
tail -f /var/log/asterisk/messages
```
2. Test Webhook:
```bash
# Test webhook delivery
curl -X POST https://iajitpanday-vbot.hf.space/api/v1/process-call \
-H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-F "file=@/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/test.wav" \
-F "caller_number=+1234567890" \
-F "called_number=+0987654321"
# Test webhook reception
curl -X POST https://your-freepbx-domain.com/customer_webhook/webhook.php \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"test": true}'
```
3. Test Database:
```sql
SELECT * FROM call_records ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;
```
## Step 8: Monitoring
1. Log Monitoring:
```bash
# FreePBX logs
tail -f /var/log/asterisk/messages
# Webhook logs
tail -f /var/log/apache2/vbot-access.log
# Database logs
tail -f /var/log/mysql/error.log
```
2. System Monitoring:
```bash
# Install monitoring tools
sudo apt install prometheus node-exporter
# Configure monitoring
sudo nano /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
```
## Step 9: Maintenance
1. Regular Tasks:
- Update FreePBX
- Rotate logs
- Backup database
- Clean old recordings
2. Backup Strategy:
```bash
# Database backup
mysqldump -u vbot_user -p vbot_calls > backup.sql
# Configuration backup
tar -czf config_backup.tar.gz /etc/asterisk/
```
3. Update Process:
```bash
# Update FreePBX
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
# Update webhook package
cd /var/www/html/customer_webhook
git pull
```
## Troubleshooting
1. Common Issues:
- Call recording failures
- Webhook delivery problems
- Database connection errors
- SSL certificate issues
2. Debug Tools:
```bash
# Check FreePBX CLI
sudo asterisk -rx "core show version"
# Check webhook logs
tail -f /var/log/apache2/vbot-error.log
# Test database connection
mysql -u vbot_user -p vbot_calls
```
