This one is for the telephony nerds out there. If you were going to recommend an open source PBX solution for a hobbyist, which solution would you choose? I'm limited to 5 options, but if you have another recommendation, please comment with it.

Thanks to everyone who participated in my last poll on open-source PBX solutions! The overwhelming winner was Asterisk, with 91% of the vote.

Now, because I love the fact that this is a place where I can ask a telephony question and actual get responses, I’d like to dig a little deeper: If you were setting up a hobbyist Asterisk-based PBX, which solution would you choose?

I’m limited to five options, so this time, I’m including pure Asterisk as well as four popular Asterisk-based solutions.

Vote below, and if you have another favorite Asterisk-based solution, let me know in the comments!

@korakophilos if you want something that’s used extensively out there in the wild (for the experience and learning on something commonly found) but isn’t FOSS, 3CX have a free tier for self-host I believe.

I HATE it with a passion, so this isn’t a ‘recommendation’, but it is used absolutely everywhere.

Edit: they replaced this with 3CX StartUP and it isn’t self-host anymore. But it’s still free for <10 users.

@SecurityWriter Thanks for that recommendation. FOSS is actually more important to me than wide adoption in the wild at this point. In the long run, I'll want to go with a FOSS solution; I'll look into 3CX though if I can play around with it for free. Why not?

@korakophilos I don'y know the other options, but having user Asterisk, all I can say it's that it's programming language is a little too rudimentary (in some ways it remembered me off the original BASIC) and to a programmer like me feels like going back to 1964.

@korakophilos @TheGibson

I voted for Asterisk because it's the only one I know but I want to hear about the others.
