Documentation

The full documentation portal (docs.linuxpbx.com) launches with v1.0 GA. Here's the quick-start path in the meantime.

Quick start (10 minutes)

1. Install

Run the installer on a supported distro or bring up the Docker Compose stack — see Download. Log in with the admin account it creates.

2. Follow the checklist

The dashboard's "Getting started" checklist walks you through it: create a tenant, add extensions, connect a trunk, route your number.

3. Register a phone

Point any SIP phone or softphone at your server with the extension number and the one-time password shown at creation.

4. Deploy & call

Generate and deploy the telephony config from the dashboard, hit reload, and make a test call. Watch it appear under CDRs.

Guides

Extensions & CSV import

Create extensions one at a time or import hundreds from CSV with generated credentials.

Trunks & routing

Connect a SIP provider, route inbound DIDs to any destination, control outbound dialing with prefixes and failover.

Queues, groups & IVR

Ring teams, hold callers with music, build auto-attendant menus, overflow anywhere.

Voicemail & recordings

Mailboxes with email delivery, *98 access, recording with protected playback and retention cleanup.

Backups & restore

One-click backups from the UI, scheduled via cron, restore from the CLI.

Security hardening

Run the built-in Security Audit and fix findings; TLS, firewall and fail2ban guidance included in deployment docs.
