Hello,

What is the most FHS-esque (see [1])  way to run several Asterisk instances
on a single (Debian) host ?

What would you recommend ?
Would gather each instance directories (etc/, run/, lib/, ...)  in
something like /srv/instance1/
(it doesn't please me as I like to put variable data in /var and on so) ?

Alternatively, would you with /etc/asterisk1/, /var/lib/asterisk1, ... ?

Would you even create a dedicated system user, one per instance, to further
isolate asterisk instances data ?

Cheers

PS: On a Debian-packaged Asterisk, I've got /usr/sbin/rasterisk linked to
/usr/sbin/asterisk. How can you explain directly running /usr/sbin/asterisk
"requires" a -r option while  /usr/sbin/rasterisk does not ?
