Show HN: Siproc – A primitive SIP client that spawns processes for each call

Re: Show HN: Siproc – A primitive SIP client that spawns processes for each call
#2This is a project I desperately needed a few times in the past, but could not find anything covering my needs.
What it does is to act as a SIP softphone, and spawn a process for each incoming or outgoing call, which can handle events (like DTMF tones) or do actions (like playing files) via stdin/stdout.
Currently, I am using it to spam filter incoming calls at home.
As a side question: I wonder where one can publish software like this nowadays, when freshmeat etc. are either gone or read-only. Preferably a place that is not GitHub.

I didn't look at the code yet, but this looks like it would be super useful for a home project I have now (interface with DoorKing gate controller) and would have been very helpful at my last job (verification code delivery).
Please consider adding a license.

https://freshcode.club/ is the successor to freshmeat, not sure how well known it is though.
https://sourcehut.org/ is what I recommend for publishing code when one doesn't want to use GitHub/etc.

#5Spawning a process for each call / endpoint is how almost every large phone switchboard does it. See also: Erlang The Movie:

Erlang's definition of a process is a much lighter weight than Linux's, though.

I've used FreeSWITCH for this kind of thing. MPL.

Who uses Erlang in telephony besides Ericsson?

What is the git web server you're using? The UI is very clean and the underlying markup and CSS is also quite minimal.
