Freeswitch with docker

Question

I am trying to get freeswitch working with docker. My goal is to pull a freeswitch image and turn it into a container and have it up and running quickly. My end goal is to have custom image to easily deploy a freeswitch setup without much effort. Ideas?

Answer 1

There's already an docker image with freeswitch pre-installed, all you need to do is run this command on terminal(if running FS in a container is really all you need):

CID=$(sudo docker run --name freeswitch -p 5060:5060/tcp -p 5060:5060/udp -p 5080:5080/tcp -p 5080:5080/udp -p 8021:8021/tcp -p 7443:7443/tcp -p 60535-65535:60535-65535/udp -v /home/ubuntu/freeswitch/conf:/usr/local/freeswitch/conf bettervoice/freeswitch-container:1.6.6)

To connect to your container use:
sudo docker exec -it freeswitch /bin/bash

The first command already open and forwards all the container's ports used by FS to your machine.
You can edit the dockerfile and create your own variation of the image if you like.

Here is example of Dockerfile with default freeswitch configs to start from:

FROM alpine:latest
RUN apk --update --no-cache add freeswitch \ 
  freeswitch-sample-config \ 
  freeswitch-sounds-en-us-callie-8000
CMD ["freeswitch"]
