Introduction

Documentation: ictfax.readthedocs.io

ICTFAX is an open source multi-user Fax server software solution. ICTFAX features both inbound as well as outbound faxing solutions using T.38 protocol as well as G.711 passt hrough.

Want a full PBX as well? ICTFax is the fax server on its own.

Installing both is not necessary, and not supported on one host.

Quick start with Docker

The fastest way to see ICTFax running. The image bundles Apache, PHP, FreeSWITCH, MariaDB and this dashboard, so there is nothing else to install.

docker run -d --name ictfax \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -p 5060:5060/tcp -p 5060:5060/udp \
  -p 16384-16484:16384-16484/udp \
  ictinnovations/ictfax:latest

Give it about two minutes on first boot while the database is created and the schema loads, then open http://localhost:8080/ and sign in with the demo credentials below. Publish the RTP range as shown or your fax calls will connect and transfer nothing.

For an external database, volumes and build instructions see docker/README.md.
