Hi!

I'm looking to replace my family's landline phone with a VoIP based hardphone. From my research it seems that I'd need a SIP server and a SIP Trunk provider. But I also happened to find Jami that has a SIP account feature.

1. Could I make and recieve calls with Jami over the hardphone similar to a landline phone (minus the ability to call and recieve calls from normal phone numbers) with this setup (SIP server + Jami + hardphone)?
2. Does anyone have experience setting up a similar system?
3. Am I overcomplicating things and a used smartphone turned into a softphone would be a better choice?

I've just recently begun my selfhosting journey so I'm not very well versed in networking, but I am willing to put in the time and effort to learn. So any (constructive) feedback/guidance is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: The solution for me it seems is to just buy a used Android smartphone and connect it to a bluetooth handset. Thanks everyone :)

Thought it relevant to this community and posted it to have a discussion on this topic. I am not the author of this blog nor do I endorse the authors views.

TL;DR: Author of the blog is criticising Codeberg outright banning LLM and crypto projects. Author thinks this approach is not nuanced enough and introduces censorship to the platform. Author therefore decided to selfhost his projects that the author previously had migrated to Codeberg.
