Architecture

Astervis runs as a set of Docker containers on your server, separate from your PBX.

Key Benefits

Data Flow

1. Call happens → Your PBX writes a CDR record
2. Instant capture → Astervis detects the new record
3. Transform & store → Data optimized for analytics
4. Dashboard updates → See the call immediately

What's Installed

Astervis installs these components via Docker:

• Analytics Database — optimized for time-series queries
• API Server — powers the dashboard and integrations
• Web Dashboard — the interface you use daily
• Background Workers — handle sync and scheduled tasks
• Reverse Proxy — HTTPS access on port 8443

All components are containerized and managed by Docker Compose.

Resource Usage

Typical production deployment (400K+ CDR records):

Network

Only port 8443 is accessible from outside. All other services communicate internally.
