Asterisk Autobuilder for Docker
18 Oct 2014I’ve gone ahead and expanded upon my Asterisk Docker image, to make a system that automatically builds a new image for it when it finds a new tarball available.
Here’s the key features I was looking for:
- Build the Asterisk docker image and make it available shortly after a release
- Monitor the progress of the build process
- Update the Asterisk-Docker git repo
To address the secondary bullet point, I made a REPL interface that’s accessible via IRC – and like any well behaved IRC netizen; it posts logs to a pastebin.
Speaking of such! In the process, I made an NPM modules for pasteall. If you don’t know pasteall.org – it’s the best pastebin you’ll ever use.
You can visit the bot in ##asterisk-autobuilder on freenode.net.
As for the last bullet point, when it finds a new tarball it dutifully updates the asterisk-docker github repo, and makes a pull request. Check out the first successful one here. You’ll note that it keeps a link to the pasteall.org logs, so you can see the results of the build – in all their gory detail, every step of the docker build.
I have bigger plans for this, but, some of the shorter-term ones are:
- Allow multiple branches / multiple builds of Asterisk (Hopefully before Asterisk 13!!)
