asterisk - Which options are there for ip phone provisioning servers? -

i'm new voip phone provisioning , configuration please bare me.

i want know options exist provision (configure) multiple voip phones multiple vendors use asterisk server. i'd kind of interface manage extensions, configuration templates , on.

here's found far:

• freepbx has commercial module called endpoint manager seems want. however, don't idea of having run web server on same machine (or container) runs asterisk. seems bad idea increases attack surface of asterisk server. rather have endpoint manager on separate server (or container) can't find information running or buying endpoint manager outside of freepbx.
• phonism advertises "cloud based ip phone provisioning , management system. service looks promising, number of supported phones lower , i'm not sold on requiring internet connection configure phone extensions in office.
• all other solutions found tied complete proprietary voip solution (3cx, kerio, etc.) or particular voip phone vendor.

is else available? or people use single voip phone vendor , use own specific configuration method?

since can't find phone provisioning solution fits needs, i'm questioning understanding of asterisk deployment best practices. using plain asterisk deployment idea or bare in terms of related tooling?

you thinking in way abstract , generic.

a voip equipment vendor provide documentation describes provisioning protocols used , how use them. can find tool use meets requirement , suits environment , skills.

vendors provide proprietary tools generate provisioning files too.

that said should advised tftp (trivial file transfer protocol) common provisioning method.

if using bare bones asterisk install on linux setting own tftp server on linux is, well, trivial in comparison.

running provisioning server , asterisk server on different boxes of course possible you'll need find or build integration tools keep provisioning config , asterisk config in sync (if that's important you). can't think of reason why using 2 boxes makes work more difficult though.
