3CX Phone System


Last Update: 2026-02-08 01:17 UTC

3CX Phone System is a specialist, Debian-based Linux distribution designed to run a complete unified communications platform. The 3CX client, included in the distribution, is a secure, scalable business phone system and contact center solution designed for companies with 25+ users; it can be hosted on-premise, in a private cloud or through a managed service – all for a single annual rate, with no per-user charges and no third-party data sharing. The ISO image includes a free license for the 3CX PBX edition. The ISO image contains the standard Debian installer which installs a minimal system with the nginx web server, PostgreSQL database, iptables firewall and Secure Shell. Options not relevant to 3CX have been removed from the distribution.

 Works good.

What be nice to get more Information between the Frontend and the Debian behind. Please do a really good Administrations Guide. With all the stuff which is really working together. iptables rules. Being a work-out-of-the-box doesnt mean to not explain all whats inside and how it is working together.
