iamdoubz 1b7f60b5f2 trunks: CRUD API, PJSIP trunk config, live registration status, Trunks page
voip.ms-first trunk form with the portal checklist, POP server list
and Test button; passwords are write-only and encrypted. Registration
and IP-auth trunks render per 03 §5.3 (TCP/TLS add ;transport=). The
API refuses a server name that doesn't resolve and transports that are
off, because either makes Asterisk drop the trunk.

Live state: registration from PJSIPShowRegistrationsOutbound (re-read
on every Registry event: two sub-accounts on one server share
Username/Domain), reachability from PJSIPShowEndpoint and trunk
ContactStatus (static contacts aren't in PJSIPShowContacts). Trunk
state is admin-only. Dashboard gets a "Trunks up" card.

trunk-test.ts (in pnpm test:asterisk) runs a fake voip.ms (second
Asterisk): the good trunk registers, a wrong password is Rejected,
qualify reaches the provider; its recorded AMI drives the unit tests.
scripts/e2e/m3-t1.mjs does the same through the UI. The acceptance
check with a real voip.ms sub-account is still to do.

Tests: settle() now awaits an apply instead of a fixed sleep (flaked
under full-suite load).

Raw Blame History

04 — Backend (apps/api)

1. Startup order (src/index.ts)

  1. config.ts: parse env with zod. Exit 1 with a readable message on error.
  2. Create the pino logger (with redaction, §11).
  3. Connect PostgreSQL. Run migrations from ./migrations.
  4. Bootstrap: if no admin user exists, create one from INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL / INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD with must_change_password = true.
  5. Build Fastify: plugins (cookie, rate-limit, multipart, websocket, static for ./public with SPA fallback to index.html for non-/api, non-/prov, non-/hooks paths), then routes.
  6. Listen on 127.0.0.1:${API_PORT}.
  7. Start the AMI client (§4). On every successful login: sync AstDB (§5.5), generator.apply({ trigger: 'startup', force: true }), then load live state (§5.1). The apply comes first so hints for extensions created while Asterisk was away exist before their states are read.
  8. Start the voicemail watcher (§5.6) and the jobs (§8).
  9. On SIGTERM: stop jobs, close WS clients, close AMI, close DB, exit 0.

2. Auth

2.1 Passwords

  • argon2id via @node-rs/argon2 with library defaults.
  • Minimum 10 characters. Reject the 1,000 most common passwords (bundle a list in auth/common-passwords.txt).

2.2 Sessions (browser)

  • POST /api/auth/login {email, password, totp?} → on success, create a 32-byte random token. Store sha256(token) in sessions.id and set the cookie sp_session=<token>; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=1209600 (14 days).
  • Sliding expiry: if a session has less than 7 days left when used, extend it to 14 days.
  • POST /api/auth/logout deletes the session row and clears the cookie.
  • CSRF: every non-GET /api/* request with cookie auth must carry the header X-Requested-With: selfphoneng. The web client always sends it. Browsers can't send it cross-site without CORS, and CORS is off.
  • Login rate limit: 5 failures per IP per 15 min and 10 per email per hour → HTTP 429. Write login_failed to the audit log with the IP.
  • If must_change_password, every route except /api/auth/* returns 403 {code:'password_change_required'}.

2.3 API tokens (integrations)

  • Header Authorization: Bearer sp_<40 random base62 chars>. Stored as sha256. Tokens act as the admin who created them. Shown once on creation.

2.4 Guards

Fastify preHandler hooks in auth/guards.ts:

  • requireAuth: sets req.user.
  • requireAdmin.
  • requireSelfOrAdmin(paramName): for /api/me/* and per-user resources.

3. Secrets (crypto/secrets.ts)

encrypt(plain: string): string   // AES-256-GCM, random 12-byte IV, key = base64decode(APP_SECRET)
decrypt(blob: string): string
generateSipPassword(): string    // 24 chars from [A-Za-z0-9], crypto.randomInt
generatePin(len = 6): string

Unit test: round-trip, tamper detection (flip one byte → throws), wrong key → throws.

4. AMI client (ami/client.ts)

Write it ourselves. Protocol summary:

  • TCP to AMI_HOST:AMI_PORT. Server sends one banner line: Asterisk Call Manager/X.Y.Z\r\n.
  • Each message is lines Key: Value\r\n ending with an empty line \r\n.
  • A message with Response: answers an action (matched by ActionID). A message with Event: is an event.
  • Keys can repeat (e.g. Output: lines of a Command, ChanVariable:). Parse each message as Record<string, string | string[]>, so a repeated key becomes an array.
  • List actions (e.g. PJSIPShowContacts, CoreShowChannels) reply Response: Success + EventList: start, then events with the same ActionID, then an event whose name ends in Complete with EventList: Complete.

API:

class AmiClient extends EventEmitter {
  constructor(opts: { host; port; username; secret; logger });
  start(): void;                       // connects, logs in, reconnects forever
  isConnected(): boolean;
  action(fields: Record<string,string>, opts?: { timeoutMs?: number }): Promise<AmiMessage>;
  actionList(fields: Record<string,string>): Promise<AmiMessage[]>;   // collects an EventList
  command(cmd: string): Promise<string>;                               // Action: Command, returns joined Output
  // events: 'connected', 'disconnected', 'event' (msg), and `event:<Name>` (msg)
}

Details:

  • ActionID = incrementing integer as a string, prefixed sp-.
  • Login: Action: Login, Username, Secret, Events: on.
  • Send Action: Ping every 20 s. If no reply in 10 s, destroy the socket and reconnect.
  • Reconnect backoff: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 30, 30, … seconds.
  • Pending actions reject with AmiDisconnectedError when the socket closes.
  • Some list actions answer an empty list with Response: Error instead of an empty EventList (Asterisk 24: PJSIPShowContacts → Message: No Contacts found, ending in a bare LF). actionList turns No … found errors into []. The parser strips stray CR/LF from the end of values.
  • Default action timeout: 10 s.
  • Never log the Login action fields.

Tests: run the parser against recorded raw byte streams in test/fixtures/ami/, including messages split across TCP chunks and several messages in one chunk.

5. Live state, events and Asterisk-driven services

5.1 Live state (live/state.ts)

In memory only. Rebuilt from Asterisk on every AMI connect.

type ExtensionLive = {
  number: string;
  state: 'idle' | 'inuse' | 'busy' | 'unavailable' | 'ringing' | 'onhold' | 'ringinuse';
  contacts: { endpoint: string; uri: string; userAgent?: string; status: 'reachable'|'unreachable'|'unknown'; rttMs?: number }[];
  dnd: boolean;
};
type TrunkLive = { trunkId: string; registration: 'registered' | 'rejected' | 'unregistered' | 'unknown'; lastChange: string; reachable: boolean };
type ActiveCall = {
  linkedid: string; startedAt: string; answeredAt?: string;
  direction: 'inbound'|'outbound'|'internal';
  from: { number: string; name?: string }; to: { number: string; name?: string };
  did?: string; state: 'ringing' | 'talking' | 'hold' | 'queued' | 'ivr' | 'voicemail' | 'parked';
  extensions: string[];          // internal numbers involved
  channels: string[];            // channel names
  recording: boolean;
};
type QueueLive = { number: string; waiting: { linkedid; callerNumber; since }[]; members: { ext; paused; state; callsTaken; lastCall? }[] };
type ParkedLive = { slot: string; linkedid: string; callerNumber: string; since: string; parkedBy?: string };
type MwiLive = Record<string /*ext*/, { new: number; old: number }>;

Initial load on connect (use actionList):

Data AMI action Fields used
Extension states ExtensionStateList Exten, Context (= sp-local-numbers), Status
Contacts PJSIPShowContacts Endpoint/EndpointName, Uri, UserAgent, Status, RoundtripUsec
Trunk registrations PJSIPShowRegistrationsOutbound OutboundRegistrationDetail: ObjectName (trunk-{id}-reg), Status (Registered, Rejected, Unregistered, Stopped). The reply also has AuthDetail items with the trunk password in clear text: never log it.
Trunk reachability PJSIPShowEndpoint trunk-{id} per trunk ContactStatusDetail Status, RoundtripUsec. Static (contact =) AOR contacts are not listed by PJSIPShowContacts (verified on 24.0.0-rc2)
Channels CoreShowChannels Channel, Uniqueid, Linkedid, ChannelStateDesc, CallerIDNum, ConnectedLineNum, Application, Exten, Context
Queues QueueStatus QueueParams, QueueMember, QueueEntry events
Parking ParkedCalls ParkingSpace, ParkeeLinkedid, ParkeeCallerIDNum
MWI MailboxCount per mailbox NewMessages, OldMessages

Events to handle (live/handlers.ts):

Event Effect
ExtensionStatus update ExtensionLive.state (Status: 0 idle, 1 inuse, 2 busy, 4 unavailable, 8 ringing, 9 ringinuse, 16 onhold)
ContactStatus add/update/remove contact (ContactStatus: Created, Reachable, Unreachable, Removed, Updated)
Registry re-read PJSIPShowRegistrationsOutbound. Username/Domain are the client/server URIs, which two sub-accounts on one server share, so they can't name the trunk (verified)
ContactStatus with AOR trunk-{id} trunk reachable (qualify)
Newchannel, Newstate, NewCallerid, NewConnectedLine, DialBegin, DialEnd, BridgeEnter, BridgeLeave, Hold, Unhold, Hangup maintain ActiveCall grouped by Linkedid. When the last channel of a linkedid hangs up, drop the call and schedule CDR aggregation (§5.4) for 5 s later
VarSet with Variable in (SP_DID, SP_DIRECTION, SP_REC, SP_TARGET) enrich ActiveCall (needs eventfilter or read=all; fine on localhost)
QueueCallerJoin / QueueCallerLeave / QueueCallerAbandon / QueueMemberStatus / QueueMemberPause / AgentConnect / AgentComplete QueueLive
ParkedCall / UnParkedCall / ParkedCallTimeOut / ParkedCallGiveUp ParkedLive
MessageWaiting MwiLive (Mailbox 101@default)
UserEvent SpToggle §5.3
UserEvent SpEmergency §5.3
Cdr §5.4

Mapping channel name → extension: regex ^PJSIP/(\d+)(?:-web)?-[0-9a-f]+$. Local channels Local/101@sp-rg-member-... also count as 101. Trunk channel: ^PJSIP/trunk-([0-9a-f-]{36})-.

5.2 Live WebSocket (GET /api/live)

  • Auth: session cookie (the browser sends it automatically). Close code 4401 when unauthenticated.
  • Server → client messages are JSON { "type": string, "data": any }.
  • On connect: one snapshot message containing the live state the user may see, then deltas.
  • Visibility:
    • admin: everything.
    • user: all ExtensionLive without contacts (presence/BLF for the whole company), active calls where their extension is in extensions, MWI for their own mailbox, queues they are a member of, all parked calls.
  • Delta types: extension.updated, trunk.updated, call.updated, call.ended, queue.updated, parked.updated, mwi.updated, voicemail.new, sms.received, emergency.call (admins + emergency notify users), system.configApplied, system.restartRequired, ami.status ({connected: boolean}).
  • Batch deltas: send at most once every 250 ms per client (merge *.updated for the same key).
  • Ping every 30 s and drop clients that don't pong.

5.3 Dialplan → api events

SpToggle fields: Key (DND | CFU | CFB | CFNA | QPAUSE | TCOVR), Ext, Queue, Id, Value.

  • DND / CFU / CFB / CFNA: update user_runtime_state for that extension. For CFU/CFB/CFNA with an external number, run canDial(ext.outbound_class, number) (uses the outbound routes' patterns and required classes). If not allowed: DBDel the key over AMI, keep the DB value null, write an audit entry forward_rejected, and push a toast to that user's WS clients.
  • QPAUSE: update queue_member_state.
  • TCOVR: update time_conditions.override_state (auto → null).
  • Always broadcast the matching live delta.

SpEmergency fields: Ext, CallerId, Dialed.

  1. Insert emergency_events with location from extensions.emergency_location.
  2. Email every address in emergency.notifyEmails: subject EMERGENCY: 911 dialed from ext {ext} ({name}), body with time, extension, name, location, caller ID sent. Send immediately; don't wait for a queue.
  3. For each emergency.notifyExtensionIds: AMI Originate with Channel: PJSIP/<notifyExt>, Context: sp-emergency-alert, Exten: <ext>, Priority: 1, CallerID: "EMERGENCY 911" <<ext>>, Async: true.
  4. Broadcast emergency.call. Fire webhook emergency.call.
  5. Record the outcome of every notification in emergency_events.notified.

5.4 CDR ingestion and call aggregation (services/cdr.ts)

  • On each Cdr event: insert the raw row into cdr (fields map 1:1, raw = whole message). Variables from cdr_manager.conf [mappings] arrive as lowercase keys sp_did, sp_direction, sp_recording.
  • aggregateCall(linkedid) runs 5 s after the last hangup (and again from the nightly job for any linkedid in cdr without a calls row):
    • rows = all cdr rows for the linkedid, ordered by start_at.
    • direction: first non-empty sp_direction; else inbound if any channel is a trunk channel; else outbound if any dstchannel is a trunk channel; else internal.
    • from: src + name parsed from clid of the first row.
    • to: inbound → the DID (sp_did); otherwise dst of the first row.
    • rang: every extension parsed from any dstchannel.
    • answered_by: the extension in dstchannel of the first row with disposition = 'ANSWERED' and an extension dstchannel. For outbound: answered if the trunk leg is ANSWERED.
    • status, checked in this order: answered if answered_by is set (or the outbound trunk leg was answered); voicemail if any row has lastapp = 'VoiceMail' and billsec > 0; abandoned if any row has lastapp = 'Queue'; busy if any row's disposition is BUSY; failed if any row's disposition is FAILED or CONGESTION; otherwise missed.
    • talk_seconds: max billsec of answered extension/trunk rows.
    • recording: if any sp_recording is set and the file exists → create recordings (size via fs.stat, duration via ffprobe) and link it.
    • Insert calls + call_extensions, then fire webhook call.ended.
  • This is a heuristic. In M7, record real AMI Cdr events from test calls (inbound to user, inbound to ring group, IVR → voicemail, queue abandon, outbound, transfer, park) into test/fixtures/cdr/*.json and write a test per scenario.

5.5 AstDB sync (services/astdb.ts)

On every AMI connect, PostgreSQL wins:

  1. DBDelTree Family: SP (wipes our keys).
  2. For each extension: DBPut SP DND/<ext> 1 if dnd; CFU/CFB/CFNA if set.
  3. For each blocked number: DBPut SP BLOCK/<number> 1.
  4. For each paused queue member: DBPut SP QPAUSE/<queue>/<ext> 1.
  5. For each time condition with override_state: DBPut SP TCOVR/<id> <state>.

Keep one function per key type (setDnd(ext, on), etc.). Routes call these after writing PostgreSQL.

5.6 Voicemail watcher (services/voicemail.ts)

  • Watch /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/*/{INBOX,Old,Urgent}/msg*.txt with chokidar (awaitWriteFinish: { stabilityThreshold: 2000 }).
  • Parse the .txt file: INI-like, section [message], keys callerid, origtime (epoch), duration, msg_id, flag. callerid looks like "Name" <13125551234>.
  • add: upsert voicemail_messages by msg_id (update folder, file_path). If it's new and in INBOX: fire voicemail.new (WS + webhook) and, if the user has voicemail_email and SMTP is configured, send an email (§10) with the .wav attached if voicemail_attach_audio. Then set emailed_at. If voicemail_delete_after_email, delete it (below).
  • unlink: if no file with that msg_id is left anywhere in the mailbox, set deleted_at.
  • API operations (markRead = move INBOX→Old, delete, move): Asterisk expects files in each folder numbered msg0000…msgNNNN with no gaps. So every operation must, under a per-mailbox lock: move/delete the .txt and .wav together, renumber the remaining files in that folder to close gaps, then send AMI VoicemailRefresh Context: default Mailbox: <ext> so MWI lights update. First check manager show commands on the installed Asterisk for VoicemailRemove/VoicemailMove actions. If they exist, use them instead and delete the renumbering code.
  • Greetings: PUT /api/me/greetings/:kind (kind: unavail | busy | greet (name) | temp) converts the upload to /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/<ext>/<kind>.wav (8 kHz mono PCM). DELETE removes it.

6. Media (media/audio.ts)

  • Accept uploads: wav, mp3, ogg, opus, m4a, flac. Max 20 MB. Max 15 minutes.
  • Convert with ffmpeg (spawn, no shell):
    • ffmpeg -nostdin -y -i <in> -ac 1 -ar 8000 -c:a pcm_s16le <out>.wav
    • ffmpeg -nostdin -y -i <in> -ac 1 -ar 16000 -c:a g722 <out>.g722 (HD copy that Asterisk picks for G.722 calls)
    • Loudness normalize with -af loudnorm=I=-16:TP=-1.5:LRA=11 on both.
  • Duration: ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of csv=p=0 <out>.wav.
  • Prompts: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom/<id>.{wav,g722} → asterisk_name = custom/<id>.
  • MOH: /var/lib/asterisk/moh/<className>/<id>.wav (wav only). After any MOH change, call generator.requestApply.
  • Deleting a sound referenced by an IVR/announcement/settings → 409 with references.
  • Optional TTS (M12): POST /api/sounds/tts {name, text, voice} runs Piper (binary and voice models in the api image under /opt/piper), then the same conversion.

7. REST API

7.1 Conventions

  • Base path /api. JSON in, JSON out. Dates are ISO 8601 UTC strings.
  • Every request body and query is validated with zod schemas from packages/shared.
  • Errors: HTTP status + { "error": { "code": "snake_case", "message": "Human text", "details": {} } }. Codes: validation_failed (400), unauthorized (401), forbidden (403), not_found (404), conflict (409, e.g. number taken, in use), rate_limited (429), internal (500).
  • Lists: ?limit=50&cursor=<opaque> → { items: [], nextCursor: string | null }.
  • Every create/update/delete of config objects: (1) writes PostgreSQL in a transaction, (2) writes audit_log with a secret-redacted diff, (3) calls generator.requestApply('api-change').
  • Secrets never come back in responses. Use hasPassword: true. Separate explicit endpoints reveal them.

7.2 Number allocation (services/numbering.ts)

assertNumberAvailable(number, kind, excludeId?):

  1. Digits only, 3–6 chars.
  2. Not in the reserved list (00 §7).
  3. Inside the configured range for kind.
  4. Not used by any of: extensions, ring_groups, queues, ivrs, conferences, paging_groups, parking 700–720. Throw conflict naming the current owner. GET /api/numbering/next?kind=user returns the lowest free number.

7.3 Endpoints

  • GET /prov/...: see 07-provisioning.md.
  • GET|POST /hooks/voipms/sms/:token: see 06-voipms.md §5.

8. Background jobs (jobs/, using croner, times in general.timezone)

Job Schedule Does
nightlyRegenerate 00:05 daily generator.apply({trigger:'nightly', force:true}) (holidays roll over), aggregate orphan CDRs
retentionCleanup 02:00 daily delete recordings older than recordings.retentionDays (file + row), voicemail older than voicemail.retentionDays if > 0, sessions past expiry, webhook_deliveries older than 30 days
backup backup.time daily if enabled §8.1
publicIpWatch every 5 min if enabled detect IP; if changed: update settings, apply, set restartRequired, email admins
webhookDelivery every 10 s send pending deliveries (§9)
trunkWatch every 60 s if a trunk is unregistered for more than 5 min → email admins once per outage
diskWatch hourly if free disk < 10% → email admins once a day

Jobs must never overlap with themselves (use a running flag).

8.1 Backups

Folder /var/lib/selfphoneng/backups/selfphoneng-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.tar.gz containing: db.sql (pg_dump --no-owner), voicemail/, sounds-custom/, moh/, manifest.json. Do not include asterisk-generated/: it holds plaintext SIP passwords and is rebuilt from the DB on start. manifest.json is {version, createdAt, includesRecordings}. The backup file mode is 0600. Recordings are optional (setting backup.includeRecordings, default false, because they get large). Keep the newest backup.keep backups. Restore is a CLI script only: scripts/restore.sh <file>. It stops api+asterisk, restores the DB and files, and starts them again. APP_SECRET must be the same as when the backup was made. The script warns about this.

9. Webhooks

Events: call.started, call.answered, call.ended, voicemail.new, sms.received, sms.sent, emergency.call, trunk.registration_changed, extension.registration_changed.

  • Payload: { "id": "<uuid>", "event": "call.ended", "createdAt": "...", "data": {...} }. data uses the same shapes as the REST API.
  • Headers: Content-Type: application/json, X-SelfPhoneNG-Event, X-SelfPhoneNG-Timestamp (unix seconds), X-SelfPhoneNG-Signature: sha256=<hex HMAC-SHA256(secret, timestamp + "." + rawBody)>.
  • Delivery: POST with 10 s timeout. A 2xx response means done. Otherwise retry after 1 m, 5 m, 30 m, 2 h, 12 h, then mark failed.
  • Block private/loopback target IPs unless setting webhooks.allowPrivate = true (SSRF protection; homelab users can turn it on).

10. Email (services/mail.ts)

nodemailer transport from settings.smtp. Templates are plain TypeScript functions returning {subject, text, html}:

  • voicemail: subject New voicemail from {callerName or number} ({m:ss}). Body: caller, number, received time in company timezone, duration, link https://<host>/me/voicemail. Attachment voicemail-<date>.wav.
  • emergency: §5.3.
  • trunkDown, diskLow, publicIpChanged, passwordReset. If SMTP isn't configured, the UI shows a warning wherever email features are used.

11. Logging

pino JSON to stdout. redact: ['*.password', '*.secret', '*.token', '*.pin', '*.Secret', 'req.headers.authorization', 'req.headers.cookie']. Log every apply (files changed, duration), AMI connect/disconnect, auth events, and outgoing webhook failures. Never log SIP passwords, voicemail PINs, AMI login or the raw text of SMS messages (log ids and lengths only).
