This image assumes that you are using a reverse proxy such as jwilder/nginx-proxy and optionally the Let's Encrypt Proxy Companion @ https://github.com/JrCs/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion in order to serve your pages. However, it will run just fine on it's own if you map appropriate ports.
You will also need an external MySQL/MariaDB Container
Automated builds of the image are available on Docker Hub and is the recommended method of installation.
docker pull hub.docker.com/tiredofit/freepbx-
The quickest way to get started is using docker-compose. See the examples folder for a working docker-compose.yml that can be modified for development or production use.
-
Set various environment variables to understand the capabilities of this image.
-
Map persistent storage for access to configuration and data files for backup.
-
Make networking ports available for public access if necessary
** The first boot can take from 3 minutes - 30 minutes depending on your internet connection as there is a considerable amount of downloading to do!
Login to the web server and enter in your admin username, admin password, and email address and start configuring the system!
The container supports data persistence and during Dockerfile Build creates symbolic links for /var/lib/asterisk, /var/spool/asterisk, /home/asterisk, and /etc/asterisk. Upon startup configuration files are copied and generated to support portability.
The following directories are used for configuration and can be mapped for persistent storage.
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
/certs |

- There seems to be a problem with the CDR Module when updating where it refuses to update when using an external DB Server. If that happens, simply enter the container (as shown below) and execute
upgrade-cdr, which will download the latest CDR module, apply a tweak, install, and reload the system for you.
- When installing Parking Lot or Feature Codes you sometimes get
SQLSTATE[22001]: String data, right truncated: 1406 Data too long for column 'helptext' at row 1. To resolve login to your SQL server and issue this statement:alter table featurecodes modify column helptext varchar(500);
For debugging and maintenance purposes you may want access the containers shell.
docker exec -it (whatever your container name is e.g. freepbx) bash
