[asterisk-users] Asterisk 'Hosting'

[Douglas Garstang]

Has anyone ever tried to run multiple instances of Asterisk on a single system, running each with a different username, and each in a separate base directory? Something like /home/pbx/business-1, home/pbx/business-2 etc?

Did it work? I assume for every service that Asterisk runs, on each instance, you'd have to use a different port numbers, which may get confusing. Each businesses phones would have to be configred with different SIP ports then too.

What about processes? I notice that Asterisk runs about 26 processes (or are they threads?) for a single instance.
