Asterisk with freepbx installation using docker

A basic container just for tests

The following steps uses tiredofit/freepbx which already has an embedded MySql server.

Prerequisites

Docker on the host machine

Installation

1. Download the 'tiredofit/freepbx' docker image running:

   $ docker pull tiredofit/freepbx:latest

   Instead of latest you can use another tag (this tutorial is based on version 15, i.e., to grab the exact same version you can run $ docker pull tiredofit/freepbx:15).

2. Check if the image is ready

   $ docker image ls

3. Create a container based on tiredofit/freepbx image (naming it test):

   $ docker run --name test tiredofit/freepbx

   After the execution of several procedures, including standard freepbx configuration files and the Web Server, zabbix and cron initialization, it is ready for our testing purposes.

4. Getting the freepbx web interface address:

   1. Open another terminal

   2. Connect to the container (named test):

      $ docker exec -it test bash

   3. Get the container IP address:

      # ip -4 a

Using freepbx application

1. Open a Web Browser and type on the search bar http://<IP Address>/admin

   Let us say, if the given IP is 172.17.0.2, type in the search bar http://172.17.0.2/admin

2. The interface of freepbx should be ready for tests.

   For customizations on Asterisk, follow freepbx documentation.

Closing the container

On the terminal which is running the container, press Ctrl+C

Starting the container again

$ docker start -ai test

Running $ docker run tiredofit/freepbx again, creates a brand-new container
