coventry(8) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the System Manager’s Manual entry for coventry(8) — yes, the whole page is literally about running a Coventry service, and it’s giving “tiny but important” energy. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

coventry — run a coventry service.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so the whole invocation vibe is:

coventry [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so coventry starts an instance of the coventry ip telephony server. Coventry manages up to 80 sip endpoints under a 2 digit dialing plan. Coventry also supports messaging over sip. Coventry uses a single config file to define each sip endpoint, call groups, and other features. periodt. 💖

normally coventry is started from an init service, but bestie, it can be executed directly in the foreground — particularly for testing. Debug builds start in the source test directory, and release builds operate on live systems. fr fr. 🫶

in addition to telephones, Coventry can act as a sip messaging broker for facility integration and to run security systems. iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -6 — Enable IPV6 operation. This forces all name resolutions to be ipv6.
  • --config=path — Alternate config file to use. The default is /etc/coventry.conf. A custom.conf can also exist in the server prefix directory with site specific config overrides.
  • --prefix=path — Specify alternate data volume. This normally would be /var/lib/coventry. The most common use might be to remap the data volume for use in a container.
  • --verbose — Display verbose output. This is useful when running locally to test the service.
  • --help — Outputs help screen for the user.
