SOLVED Provisioning file

[kt351b]

Hello!
Can you please explain to me about provisioning. I understand that FusionPBX takes a template file, substitutes variables from the database and generates a config file for provisioning. But where it is stored?
Imagine that I have a device with MAC 0004f24b8745
When I put in the browser link - http://fusionPBXdomain.com/app/provision/0004f24b8745.cfg I got a window that asks me to authorize, I enter credential and got the congif.
But I can't find 0004f24b8745.cfg file at the server (at /var/www/fusionpbx and so on directories).
Can you please explain to me how it works and is there a provision file (not a template for the phone model) at the server?
Thanks in advance!

I'll add some thoughts. I understand that when I start a php-script from the directory /var/www/fusionpbx/app/provision/ it can generate the file, but if it is stored in RAM, for example, how I can get it from the link: http://fusionPBXdomain.com/app/provision/0004f24b8745.cfg ?

The file is generated dynamically when the url is called the same way any other dynamic content is generated in PHP or other languages.
The information isn't "stored" in a traditional sense.

You can download it in the devices page. The file is not stored anywhere, it is served to you dynamically upon demand.

Maybe if you said what you are actually trying to achieve we can point you to a better path.

Thanks for your reply, I just trying to understand how can I get the file not by starting the script, but via the link: http://fusionPBXdomain.com/app/provision/0004f24b8745.cfg ?
For my understanding, if I enter the path /app/provision/0004f24b8745.cfg - so there is a file ))

Inside devices go into your device and then at the top you will see files, click that and then you can download them, is this what you mean?

There 100% is not a file, the file is created on the fly.

Yea, thank you. I know and use this way. I just was wondering about this programming-magic with no file at the server )
So, I can mark this thread as SOLVED.
Thank you all!

There is no magic when you think about it, its pretty standard stuff this page has a URL https://www.pbxforums.com/threads/provisioning-file.4855 ther is no file for it though, exactly the same thing.

Although thread is mark as solved, but can you please let to know, is there a way to have specific configs (I saw such cases on asterisk) for every phone?
The logic is to have specific and ready config files.

The whole point of the provisioning system in Fusionpbx is to allow for dynamic configurations. Meaning if you make a change to the device entry (add/remove a button etc) then the next time phone provisions, the phone has newest settings.

The "specific" "config file" is always ready to be downloaded by a phone as long as the web server is accessible and the device is enabled. When the device requests a config file, the server generates the data and sends the latest information based on what is in the templates and database settings.
