Tancredi

Tancredi is a phone provisioning engine ideal for internet deployments, released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0.

Phone provisioning

An IP phone connects to Tancredi over HTTP and fetches some files containing its configuration.

• The phone provisioning URL is protected by a temporary random secret token and is unique to each phone.

• Configuration files are generated dynamically starting from a set of template files specific to the phone model and from phone and model variables.

Administrative API

The phone and model variables can be managed with a private API endpoint. Tancredi does not provide an administrative user interface, however you can build one based on its management endpoint.

See Tancredi API v1 for details.

Template files for phone provisioning

The variables defined with the administrative API can be used in the template files along with other run-time defined variables. The provided template files can be easily overridden for specific needs

See Templates for details.

Other projects

The Falconieri project is a RPS (Redirect and Provisioning Service) gateway that helps to store the phone provisioning URL in the phone vendor redirect service. Modern IP phones can contact the phone vendor redirect service at boot time and discover their PBX address with it.
