AwayCalls
Requirements
What you need before you install AwayCalls.
AwayCalls needs a Node host and a Twilio account for the actual phone network.
Runtime
- Node.js 20+ (or Docker, which bundles everything)
- PostgreSQL 15+ for the database
- Redis 7+ for live call state
Telephony
- A Twilio account with Voice enabled and at least one phone number
- An HTTPS domain: WebRTC (browser calling) requires TLS, even in testing
Skills
Installing AwayCalls means running a few commands and pasting your Twilio keys
into a .env file. If you'd rather not, our launch service
sets up telephony and hosting for you.
Hardware
A small VPS (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM) is plenty for a small team. Redis and Postgres can run on the same box to start.
