Hi,

this is not really a issue, but I hope that his can save others a lot of time. If you want to use this image for the German Telekom and register/call via UDP (transport udp) use the --net=host option (or network_mode: "host" in Docker Compose) with this image! Otherwise all the AOR checks and routing will fail because Docker changes the source IP for UDP traffic to (172.x.x.x). I hope this saves someone a few weeks of their life ;) Please add it to the documentation or keep this issue open so people can find it.

Best regards

I've noticed that only port 5060 is exposed in all of the Dockerfiles. I couldn't see from the README, but is the intention to run each of the images with the --network host docker flag?

I've been trying all week to provide a comprehensive list of ports to EXPOSE using your upstream images, even reducing the port range in rtp.conf to something more manageable but I cannot get it to work. 5060 initiates the session, but I can't get audio. There seems to be lots of undocumented ports that I just gave up in the end.

If it's intended to be used with the host network, is it actually worth removing the EXPOSE line from the Dockerfiles as you can't actually do anything useful with it?

Great effort maintaining this repo BTW. 👍

Hi andrius

It would be great if you add the installation of sngrep in all the images you maintain. This is a popular tool for SIP debugging.

Thanks in advance

Andrius,

Cool project you have here. I got the image to work. How do I add sip support? Also, I'm trying to get into bash so I modify sip.conf and extensions.conf. I can't connect via docker exec. Not sure if there's a better way.

I get the following in the logs after running andrius/asterisk image:

Huh? Child handler, but nobody there?

thanks!

Hi, thanks for excellent project!
Can you please set the local time to UTC in the containers? PST is not very useful in Russia ;)

Hey! I would like to save my sip and extensions config files somewhere else so that they survive container changes.

Is this possible or something that could be added as a feature?

Hey there,

I'm currently testing Asterisk with ARI and audio playback via URL. I'm using mono WAV files with 16bit PCM and a sampling rate of 8kHz. I started with Asterisk 15 using the andrius/asterisk:15.x Docker image and everything works fine. I updated to andrius/asterisk:17-current and still no issues.

After that I wanted to update to the next LTS using the andrius/asterisk:glibc-18.x image, but with that asterisk refuses to play my file with the following outputs:

asterisk_1   \| [Mar 12 20:38:18] WARNING[106][C-00000001]: file.c:789 ast_openstream_full: File https://example.com/8c22dd75.wav does not exist in any format

I would like to investigate that further and would be very happy for any hint. Thanks!

See https://hub.docker.com/r/andrius/asterisk/

docker pull andrius/asterisk:debian-15-current

It's better to put asterisk version before classifier debian, thus is consistent with classifier Alpine

docker pull andrius/asterisk:15

PS: the document in docker hub is outdated.

Now I can use IAX only , but SIP should be better. There are some solution to add huge range of UDP forward . It seems too complicate and hard to manage. If the alpine have vpn , it can bypass the NAT and firewall issues. I tried to add openvpn in front of asterisk . It worked perfectly. But I hope this two functions can work in same container. It can reduce the machine loading.

It seems that running the container with volumes mapped result in an error

/docker-entrypoint.sh: 24: exec: -v: not found

So version 15 is definitely not the latest, it has not been for a long time now. Any chance we could get an updated image for 18 or at least 17?

I am having a hard time using net=host and registering with my provider. Any suggestions?

I noticed you remove the pjsip module in your Dockerfile (caused some confusion for me initially doing configuration). I'm using the v15 branch and modified the Dockerfile to not do this -- Asterisk appears to be functioning fine. It would be nice to not have the module deleted.

Also, as an FYI, this image works great on a Raspberry Pi.

Is IPV6 enabled in pjsip?

ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
mysql-connector-odbc (missing):

Looks like there is no mysql-connector-odbc packet. Is there any solution?

In this file Dockerfile
asterisk/debian/16-certified/Dockerfile
this line
ENV OPUS_CODEC asterisk-16.0/x86-64/codec_opus-13.0_current-x86_64
should be changed to
ENV OPUS_CODEC asterisk-16.0/x86-64/codec_opus-16.0_current-x86_64

There seems to be no latest debian build in dockerhub?

Hi,
I've stumbled upon an issue about asterisk crashing when I tried to register a trunk on the latest update (docker hub of 30/11/2023).
The registration message got to the trunk, and it sent an Unauthorized answer. When Asterisk receives the message, it crashes right away.
I've rolled back to the alpine-3.17-18.15.1 version and it works properly.
Might be good to check the 20.5 versions of asterisk.

I've noticed that the GitHub repository has not been updated lately when the image on docker hub has been updated. Is it intentional?

Best Regards,
Simon

Hi Andrius, thanks for your wonderful work.
I'm trying to connect an asterisk for development on my laptop and i did a trunk, both side,
with a Cisco Call Manager used in my office.
Trunk works in both side and sip telephone register on asterisk can ring a cisco telephone resiter an CUCM and viceversa.

But when I Answer the call HangUp and in asterisk on my laptop I got this error:

   -- Channel SIP/callmanageriset-00000054 joined 'simple_bridge' basic-bridge <5d8debd7-7b17-4364-9182-26ef7eacadfb>

sniffing with tcpdump and opening with wireshark i noticed that the called phone try to start rdp session with the asterisk ip inside the docker so thi is probably the resons while it fails.

Hello there,

please release the new versions of Asterisk :)

Writing my own Dockerfile inheriting from andrius/asterisk where I add some files to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ I run into the problem that in my parent Dockerfile (andrius/asterisk) the directory is defined as VOLUME
Because of that all the files added by my Dockerfile during build process are gone when starting the container (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46227454/modifying-volume-data-inherited-from-parent-image and https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#notes-about-specifying-volumes).

I could add the files during container startup (via ENTRYPOINT) but that would mean that on each startup the sound files would have to been downloaded.
Currently I use a copy of your Dockerfile without the VOLUME commands.

Both solutions are workaround/hacks. Do you have an idea how to solve this issue in a clean manner?

Hello,
I used to installe asterisk manager as packages within an IOBroker docker container, but since in the latest debian versions, the asterisk manager is now longer included I needed another solution: I installed the asterisk manager as an separate docker container using this andrius-container. I set it up with a portainer docker compose file:

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks

I'm using the Alpine version under UNRAID and I have problems with the color of the text in the CLI.
Some of the text (usually debug messages) is displayed black on dark grey background (see attached screenshot) and therefore barely readable. After such a line is displayed also the color of the commands typed afterwards becomes black on dark grey.
Initially I thought that there is a problem with my specific asterisk configuration, or the TERMINAL settings or the Docker configurations....
After some hair pulling I realized that the culprit is the -W from the asterisk command line from docker-entrypoint.sh

if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
  COMMAND="/usr/sbin/asterisk -T -W -U ${ASTERISK_USER} -p -vvvdddf"
else

-W Display colored terminal text as if the background were white or otherwise light in color. Normally, terminal text is displayed as if the background were black or otherwise dark in color.

Given that normally the linux console has a black background I think that this setting is inconvenient for most of the people.
Could you please change this to -B instead or eventually make it configurable?
Of course, you already provided a nice mechanism to override the entire COMMAND, however maybe some people, just like me, will have difficulties to figure out from where the problem comes in the first place.

Thanks and keep up the good work!
