Asterisk docker dev

Scripts for using Docker for cross-distro Asterisk development.

Frequently, when developing Asterisk, it's useful to build/run/test on multiple distros. Rather than having a bunch of virtual machines lying around, this repo allows a local Asterisk repo to be built and run in Docker containers.

These scripts are optimized for a build/run/test cycle, and are not recommended for anything other than Asterisk development and testing.

These scripts also build an Asterisk image that has chan_respoke installed, because Respoke is pretty cool.

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/leedm777/asterisk-docker-dev
$ git clone https://gerrit.asterisk.org/asterisk
$ cd asterisk
# Develop; make changes; try things out
$ ../asterisk-docker-dev/build.sh

The resulting images are asterisk:${FLAVOR} and chan_respoke:${FLAVOR}.

Options

Use the FLAVOR environment variable to test Asterisk on other distros.

• ubunty-trusty (default)
• centos6

Notes

The Asterisk source tree is mounted as a volume, and built in place. The good news is that this means that if you make incremental changes, it will rebuild incrementally (instead of rebuilding from scratch as Docker normally likes to do).

When switching flavors, it's recommended to make distclean in order to clear out anything from the other distro.

The build also mounts a volume as a ccache directory, which may help build speed in some circumstances.
