🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for kamailio.cfg — aka the kamailio configuration file. that's the whole name, no cap. it's giving "one file to run your whole SIP server energy" 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg

yep. that's the path. the main character lives right there 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie 💅 — kamailio reads all its configuration data from /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg. or, if you're feeling spicy and want a different file, from whatever file you hand it with -f on the command line. very much "choose your own adventure" energy 🌈

and what's actually in this file? three things, and they all eat:

  • the global configuration parameters — the overall vibe settings for the whole server
  • the module loading commands — how you pull in the extra powers ✨
  • the script that gets executed for each and every received request — this is the part that goes brrrr, it runs on every single request, no skips, no days off 🔥

and listen, comments are your friend:

  • lines starting with # are comments
  • anything enclosed in /* ... */ is also a comment

so go off, annotate your config, future-you will thank you 🫶

lowkey important heads up bestie: this manual page is incomplete. 😭 if you want the actual full lore, the documentation lives at https://kamailio.org/wikidocs/ — go check it out fr fr.
