BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Figure 1 This is a complete flow chart of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for containerized deployment of FreeSwitch services, comprising the following steps:

[0029] S1. Pull the image: Pull a basic Linux system image from Docker Hub or other image sources;

[0030] S2. Install dependencies: Install the dependency libraries required by FreeSwitch in the pulled image;

[0031] S3. Download and compile source code: Download the corresponding version of source code from the official repository of FreeSwitch and compile it in the image;

[0032] S4. Install FreeSwitch: Install the compiled FreeSwitch to the specified directory in the image;

[0033] S5. Modify basic configuration: Modify the basic configuration file of FreeSwitch according to the requirements;

[0034] S6. Clean up the image: delete the source code and other unnecessary files in the image;

[0035] S7. Save and upload the image: Save the modified image locally and upload it to the enterprise's Harbor image management system;

[0036] S8. Configure the private cloud process line: Configure the process line on the enterprise private cloud to automatically pull the business plug-in source code, compile the plug-in, and copy the configuration to the FreeSwitch container;

[0037] S9. Start the container and configure the network: After compiling and publishing the image on the private cloud, start the container and configure the network for FreeSwitch to ensure its normal operation.

[0038] By carefully crafting a private image of FreeSwitch and integrating it into the enterprise system, the deployment process of the entire communication platform can be significantly optimized, which not only enables rapid deployment but also ensures the consistency of the environment, greatly reducing the workload of the operation and maintenance team. The private image contains FreeSwitch and all its dependencies, configuration files, and necessary optimization settings, which transforms the deployment process from manual installation and configuration to one-click deployment; this not only shortens the deployment time, but also reduces the risk of inconsistent configuration due to human errors.

[0039] Using the same private image to deploy on all servers ensures that the FreeSwitch operating environment is consistent regardless of development, testing, or production environments. This consistency helps to quickly locate and solve problems, and also facilitates subsequent maintenance and upgrades.

[0040] Among them, in S8:

[0041] The pulled FreeSwitch service plug-in is written in C++ language, and the FreeSwitch service plug-in source code is saved in git.

[0042] Storing the FreeSwitch business plug-in source code in Git and writing it in C++ brings many benefits, including version control, collaborative development, code management, CI / CD integration, high performance, code reuse and modularity, as well as security and compliance. These advantages help improve development efficiency, code quality, and software delivery speed, thereby bringing greater business value to the enterprise.

[0043] Among them, FreeSwitch basic services are the basic core services of FreeSwitch, excluding frequently changing business codes, including: FreeSwitch dependency libraries, FreeSwitch executable file directories, and FreeSwitch basic configurations.

[0044] Separating FreeSwitch basic services from frequently changing business codes helps improve system stability, simplify maintenance and upgrade processes, enhance security, promote team collaboration, optimize resource utilization, and support rapid response and fault recovery. These benefits together provide a strong guarantee for the stable operation and efficient management of the FreeSwitch communication system.

[0045] Among them, the FreeSwitch business code is mainly related to the business, including business core plug-ins and business-related configuration files.

[0046] The business logic is clear and independent, which facilitates rapid development and iteration; the configuration files are flexible and customizable to meet different business needs; it is separated from the basic services to reduce system complexity and coupling, and improve overall stability and maintainability; at the same time, the modular design of business code facilitates code reuse and team collaboration, accelerates the launch of new functions, and improves business response speed.

[0047] Among them, when the FreeSwitch business code is released, the enterprise private cloud system copies the relevant files to the FreeSwitch executable file directory and configuration file directory according to the pre-compiled script.

[0048] Automated deployment through pre-written scripts greatly simplifies the release process and reduces the risk of errors caused by human operations; ensures that each code and configuration released to the production environment are tested and verified, thereby improving the consistency of the environment and reducing the failure rate caused by inconsistent configuration.

[0049] Among them, in S1:

[0050] The Linux system image is generated by installing the FreeSwitch basic service in the image.

[0051] Integrating FreeSwitch basic services into the Linux system image makes the entire deployment process simpler and more efficient. Users do not need to install FreeSwitch and its dependencies separately, they only need to deploy the image to quickly start the service, which reduces the deployment difficulty and time cost.

[0052] When the FreeSwitch service container is released, the business code and configuration are pulled from the git code repository, and then compiled and released in the enterprise private cloud system.

[0053] When the FreeSwitch service container is released, the business code and configuration are pulled from the Git code repository, and compiled and released on the enterprise private cloud system. This approach brings significant benefits in code version management, automation and efficiency, environment consistency, security, flexibility and scalability, team collaboration, and resource utilization optimization.

[0054] Among them, in S5:

[0055] Only the basic configuration of FreeSwitch needs to be modified, and the service configuration does not need to be modified.

[0056] Only modifying the basic configuration of FreeSwitch while keeping the business configuration unchanged can reduce the risk of change, simplify operation and maintenance, maintain business stability, optimize resource utilization, facilitate problem troubleshooting, and support rapid iteration. These benefits help ensure the stable operation and efficient management of FreeSwitch services.
