Self-hosting of ProCall Web - Deployment on the customer’s own systems

ProCall Web can also be provided on your own servers if the one provided by estos cannot or should not be used. 

It is generally assumed that the version of ProCall Web provided by estos is used at  https://app.procall.de. estos ensures that the app is kept up to date on an ongoing basis. 

The ProCall Web app can also be deployed by the customer on their own servers/systems if the one provided by estos cannot or should not be used.

Self-hosting with ProCall Web is a special option and requires that the customer possesses the necessary technical knowledge to deploy the app, that the customer meets the necessary requirements, and that the customer is responsible for and guarantees the independent operation and maintenance of the system.

Procedure for deploying ProCall Web on your own systems

1. ProCall Web can be provided upon personal request from estos.  

2. Provide a system (server) on which a web server (e.g. IIS, Apache, Nginx, ...) is available. 
3. Unpack the zip package with ProCall Web into the target directory of the WebServer.
   The "procall" folder must be stored in the root directory of the web server.
   The index.html file can be stored in any (sub)folder of the web server.
   The page can then be accessed via the path to index.html.
   However, the actual data is then loaded from the "procall" folder. 
4. If necessary, make adjustments to config.json. This can be found in the "procall" directory.
5. Configure the WebServer so that it provides ProCall Web. The default page is index.html 
6. Assign a DNS address that points to the server at which you want to make the ProCall Web accessible. 
7. Generate a certificate that has been issued by a trustworthy CA.
8. Configure the web server so that it uses the certificate for https authentication. 

If access to ProCall Web is to be distributed to several servers/web servers for load distribution, the above steps must be carried out several times and the DNS server must be configured so that it recognises the web servers set up for the same URL. 

Providing multiple (differently configured) ProCall Web applications

If you would like to host another ProCall Web application in addition to the one described above, you can do so using subdirectories. To do this, proceed as follows: 

Provision in multiple subfolders

1. Go to the "procall" folder, copy the config.json file there and give it a unique name, e.g. config_xy.json. 
2. As explained in point 3 above, create another (sub)folder on the web server and save the index.html file there as well. 
3. Within index.html, change the value of the link to the config.json you created. In this example, as follows: 
   <link rel="preload" href="/procall/config_xy.json" />
4. Also change the value of the data link to the config.json you created. In this example, as follows: 
   <div id="configId" data-config-id="_xy"></div>
5. Follow steps 4 to 8 of the above description for deployment on your own systems to ensure that the page you have deployed is accessible. 

Setting up forwarding for the management server with ProCall 

Do not forget to set up forwarding for the administration server for ProCall Infinity so that app users can simply log in with their access data and do not have to manually enter the management server, UCConnectID and UCServer URI when logging in.
