opusvl/asterisk repository overview

⁠Asterisk 17 PBX

Uses debian:buster-slim because uuid-dev is not available in Alpine.

Builds Asterisk 17 from git master.

Multi-stage Dockerfile uses build-essential and git to clone from the git repository https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk.git⁠

First stage installs the prerequisites and builds Asterisk from source. Second stage copies the compiled assets from the first, sets up the asterisk user and sets permissions.

/etc/asterisk is populated with the config samples from make samples. Mount your own folder to overwrite the samples.

⁠Build

$ docker build -t opusvl/asterisk:latest .

⁠Usage

$ docker run -v ${PWD}/etc/asterisk/:/etc/asterisk:rw ${PWD}/log/:/var/log/asterisk:rw opusvl/asterisk bash

⁠docker-compose.yml

Note: Use network_mode: "host" as the RTP service requires a large port range and it takes a long time to setup thousands of iptable rules if it uses a docker network.

⁠LDAP Support

You will need to import the asterisk.ldif⁠ schema into your LDAP configuration. This is an olc format file, if you need the older schema format you'll find it in the link below.

Full details are here: Asterisk LDAP Integration⁠

⁠ODBC and PostgreSQL Support

Now build with ODBC and the postgresql-client to enble the use of real-time databases.

⁠Festival TTS

Festival is a default install listening on TCP port 1314 - but does not need to be exposed.

⁠Supervisor

Supervisor is used to start the two programs (festival and asterisk) within the container. The supervisor configuration is included as asterisk.conf⁠

Minor change to the asterisk startup to put it into non-colour console.
