asterisk-alpine-docker

Run Asterisk on Alpine Linux with Docker.
A fast and simple way to test a new configuration for your pbx or run with a simple configuration (e.g. at home).

---

how to use it

1.) BUILD the docker container

docker build -t asterisk-alpine-docker .

---

2.) RUN the container - with sample configuration / generate your own configuration

A) run with sample configuration

If you already have asterisk configuration files, then you can skip this step (go on with 3.).

docker run --name asterisk-alpine-docker-sample --net=host -d -t christianbecker/asterisk-alpine-docker

B) copy sample configuration to generate you own settings

To get started just copy the sample configuration from docker container to your own directory. The container can be deleted after this step.

docker cp asterisk-alpine-docker-sample:/etc/asterisk/. etc-asterisk/
docker stop asterisk-alpine-docker-sample
docker rm asterisk-alpine-docker-sample

Make your changes to files in "etc-asterisk" directory and use it as docker volume in a new container.

---

3.) RUN the container - with your own configuration in directory "etc-asterisk"

Run docker container with your own configuration and let docker restart it automatically if necessary.

docker run --name asterisk-alpine-docker --net=host -v $(pwd)/etc-asterisk/:/etc/asterisk/ -d -t --restart=always christianbecker/asterisk-alpine-docker

---

4.) USE the container

To simplify the management you can add the following aliases to .bash_aliases or .bashrc:

A) show the logs from asterisk console

alias astlog='docker logs -f --tail 20 asterisk-alpine-docker'

B) connect to asterisk cli

alias asterisk='docker exec -it asterisk-alpine-docker asterisk' 

Then simply use astlog or asterisk -r in bash console on docker host system.
