FreeSWITCH is a Software Defined Telecom Stack enabling the digital transformation from proprietary telecom switches to a versatile software implementation that runs on any commodity hardware. From a Raspberry PI to a multi-core server, FreeSWITCH can unl
In the systemd unit for FS/debian, if the WorkingDirectory is not set
then it defaults to '/'. This is fine for FS, and is a common and
expected chdir choice for daemons.
We had previously set this to /run/freeswitch. Due to Debian having
systemd-coredump(8) disabled, this was causing core files to be
written to /run/freeswitch, which is a bad place for them as it's
mounted on tmpfs. So in commit cd68e0f we changed this to the log
directory /var/log/freeswitch. That choice is a bit usual as well on
Debian.
It's better to leave FS as running on '/'. This will prevent core
files from being written unless the user adjusts `sysctl
kernel.core_pattern`, which is a reasonable thing to expect if the
user wants these files. Core files can be huge, and even having them
go to /var/log unexpectedly can be a problem.
When Debian adds the systemd-coredumps support this will all work
nicely and automatically.
