@IT-ADMIN In my (limited) experience you run out of RAM (and HDD I/O) long before you run out of CPU

i hope so

Is this for personal use? If so I can understand using this setup, but for production, no way.
Though @scottalanmiller will say that even in home use this probably shouldn't be done, instead host these on services like DigitalOcean will provide better service, etc - granted the cost will be significant comparatively.
-
will be in production environment but in a very small office (4 computers), it is only a garage but do some administrative task, i want to connect them via vpn to our HQ and deploy 4 ip telephone
-
for this reason i don't want to power 2 machine 24/24 only to server 4 computers and 4 telephone, so i decided to host pfsense and freePBX in one machine (xenserver)
-
I'm lost.
So the goal is provide 4 computers and 4 phones with service (phone and internet).
Assuming you have a FreePBX system back at your main office, this is how I would do it.
I'd install an EdgeRouter (you pick the flavor), use that to VPN back to the central office, then hang the phones off your office PBX and call it a day.
I suppose you could install PFSense on the Vostro and use that as your firewall if you wanted, but why are you having a local FreePBX install? Are you planning on terminating SIP on the FreePBX install at the garage? If not, then you gain next to nothing having the FreePBX install be onsite.
-
well it is a long story hhh
for other offices (3 offices: 1 HQ and 2 branches), they have a CUCM hosted in our ISP, because the management still not relaying on me to do the whole telephony system for the group, because the telephony service is very crucial in our business (they have a small call center)
returning to the new opening garage, i plan to install freeBPX only to have an IVR and have the ability to call from outside 4 telephone with only one PSTN line, employee or costumer will dial the external phone number, the call will hit the freePBX then an IVR will be launch : if you want to call the manager press 1 ........
this is the utility of having a freePBX in the garage only to pay for one landline instead of paying 4 landline -
i mean these 4 ip phone in the garage will not be registered in our hosted IP PBX (for financial reason because we pay monthly for each extension) because the garage is considered something extra and not very important
-
so i have to manage myself to do the cheapest solution
-
and also one important thing the ISP force us to buy CISCO IP PHONE which quite expensive
because what i do in the garage i just buy only one ATA and take benefit of some analog phone that we have in the store hhhh -
How are you going to get analog phones talking to FreePBX? How are getting the POTS line into FreePBX? do you have a card that you will install into the FreePBX server, or a POTS to SIP gateway?
-
the great device linksys spa 3102, it convert analog signal into data signal

yes i know for my own PBX i can register any sip device, i'm talking about the hosted PBX that our ISP host, we cannot register or do anything except by their permission and we pay monthly per extension and on top of that the ip phone should be cisco, these are the requirement of our monopoly government ISP, all of these expenses because the company don't trust me to do the telephony system for it .
-
they only trust me to do telephony for a non crucial office like a garage lol
-
and by the way they have right to not trust me to do that because i only have 2 year experience in IT so i'm just learning now
-
Ask if you can do a project for say, 20 phones. Those people would have two phones on their desk - might be able to prove you can do it.

it is a good idea but i'm sure they will not accept it, they will tell me : we are not ready to play games with you hhhhh, they want something ready and safe 100 percent even if it cost a fortune !
-
they are generous to pay anything to the ISP but no chance to pay even the necessary to me to do my job efficiently, all the time i have to manage myself to work with opensource and free solution,
-
because if they pay for example a licence of something and didn't work as it should be, i will be in a difficult situation, but if it is free then i don't care
