# vBot FreePBX Setup Guide ## Overview This guide provides detailed instructions for setting up FreePBX to work with vBot. FreePBX will handle call recording and webhook integration, while vBot processes the recordings and returns analysis results. All call records are stored locally in the FreePBX database. ## Prerequisites - FreePBX 16 or higher - MySQL 5.7 or higher (included with FreePBX) - PHP 7.4 or higher (included with FreePBX) - SSL certificate for secure webhooks - vBot API key (provided by central server admin) ## Step 1: FreePBX Installation 1. Download FreePBX: - Visit https://www.freepbx.org/downloads/ - Download FreePBX 16 or higher - Follow the installation guide 2. Complete FreePBX Setup: - Run the setup wizard - Configure basic settings - Set up admin credentials - Configure network settings 3. Verify Installation: ```bash # Check FreePBX version sudo asterisk -rx "core show version" # Check MySQL version mysql --version # Check PHP version php -v ``` ## Step 2: FreePBX Configuration 1. Configure Call Recording: - Log in to FreePBX Admin - Go to Admin → Call Recording - Enable call recording - Set recording path: `/var/spool/asterisk/monitor` - Configure recording format: WAV - Set recording options 2. Set Up Recording Post-Processing: - Log in to FreePBX Admin - Go to Admin → Advanced Settings - Navigate to "System Recordings" section - Enable "Post Call Recording Script" - Set the script path: `/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/process_call` - Configure script parameters: ``` ${UNIQUEID} ${CALLERID(num)} ${EXTEN} ``` - Set execution permissions: ```bash sudo chmod +x /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/process_call sudo chown asterisk:asterisk /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/process_call ``` - Configure recording options: - Set recording format to WAV - Enable automatic recording - Set recording path - Configure file naming convention - Test recording: ```bash # Make a test call # Check recording directory ls -l /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/ # Verify script execution tail -f /var/log/asterisk/messages ``` 3. Configure Webhook Integration: - Go to Admin → Advanced Settings - Navigate to "Webhooks" section - Add new webhook: - Name: vBot Call Processing - URL: https://iajitpanday-vbot.hf.space/api/v1/process-call - Method: POST - Headers: ``` X-API-Key: your_api_key Content-Type: multipart/form-data ``` - Payload: ``` file=@${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 [ '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 ``` 3. Support: - Check FreePBX documentation - Review logs - Contact support - Submit issues
