OpenSIPS SBC - Community Edition

This project contains a fully functional OpenSIPS setup used as a Session Border Controller that provides the following features:

• SIP Proxy with support for UDP and TLS
• topology hiding for all calls
• dialplans for SIP user and DID formats
• NAT traversal with automatic detection and contact fixing
• RTPEngine for media relay
• mid-registrar to throttle and manage endpoint registrations towards the core server and to resolve contacts when routing calls to users
• primary/failover routing across core servers with automatic failover
• PSTN routing via dynamic routing with gateways and rules
• dialog management with database-persistent session state
• SIP digest authentication for registered endpoints
• source-based access control via blacklist filtering
• OPTIONS keepalive for endpoint health monitoring
• call statistics tracking for inbound and outbound calls
• HTTP and FIFO management interfaces

Getting Started

The simplest way to get the project running is to setup Docker on your host and then run:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/OpenSIPS/opensips-sbc-ce.git
cd opensips-sbc-ce

# configure your IP addresses in .env before launching the containers
PRIVATE_IP=10.0.0.23; sed -i 's/#HOST_PRIVATE_IP/'$PRIVATE_IP'/g' .env
PUBLIC_IP=1.2.3.4; sed -i 's/#HOST_PUBLIC_IP/'$PUBLIC_IP'/g' .env
# for local deployments without a public IP, use the private IP for both

docker compose up
