[App_rpt-users] wiki instructions for a manual install

[Trevor Halsey]

I have xipar running on a "HP Small Form Factor" desktop, just having issues with uptime, so I've got some experience with it. So far i have two nodes, just waiting for some USB fobs at hamvention.

Anyways the curve is expected, as I assume I need to manually compile apt_rpt, and asterisk. I had seen some steps for raspberry pi in here and assumed it would just be about the same.

Thanks,

Hi Trevor,

I seriously doubt this approach will give you anything even close to
satisfactory results. Any type of VoIP application requires instantaneous
server availability or your audio quality will be lousy. Virtualized
servers (such as provided by the host you mention) work okay for websites,
etc., where host latency is tolerable. But it flat out won't work for
VoIP.

For your first step, you *really* need to build a system on a small
dedicated box, using the distro you're considering. Then, try
virtualization using a free package like VirtualBox. Once you've achieved
these steps, next consider how to host the conference server.

BTW, I'm not trying to dissuade from trying this, but, there will be a
steep learning curve.

e.g. a virtualized server without the capability to use an iso, I have to
use a prebuilt image of debian, redhat, centos, or whatever distro is
available there. Is there something out there instruction to do this on a
CentOS 6 (x86 or x64, does it matter?) instance? My final goal is to be
able to just make the machine a public image for others to install as
well, but I'm still learning on how in the world I'm supposed to use
Amazon AWS. Keep in mind I'm using their free package, 1cpu, 60gb of
storage, and ~600mb of ram. I saw some instructions for raspberri pi, but
I can't seem to find them again.

intending on using this only on occasion at first, where my county might
have a need to bridging Echolink, AllStar, and DStar to a weather net for
any/all connectible repeaters in the coverage area when a tornado warning
occurs.
