CallAttendant-Docker

This is a dockerized version of @thess's CallAttendant that should run on any arm64 or amd64 docker host.

You'll need to know which device is being used as your modem, and will need to add it to --device (docker run) or devices: (compose).

First-time Run:

Add / Copy and edit the ./app.cfg file from this repo to the folder that you'll mount (I used /volume1/docker/callattendant/config). If you don't add this file, a default file will be created in the mounted folder. You'll then need to stop the container to edit the new file in the config folder. It's important to mount this folder so that you don't lose your config and DB when image is updated or after destroying/recreating the container.

The container listens on port 5000. Choose any open port to map to the container. This container works well with reverse proxy setups, no additional config needed.

Docker Run:

docker run --rm -it --device=/dev/ttyACM0 \
    -v /volume1/docker/callattendant-docker/config:/app/config \
    -p 8088:5000 \
    telnetdoogie/callattendant-docker:latest

Docker-Compose:

services:

  callattendant:
    container_name: callattendant
    image: telnetdoogie/callattendant-docker:latest
    devices:
      - /dev/ttyACM0    # add your modem dev path here
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/callattendant/config:/app/config:rw
    ports:
      - 8088:5000
    restart: unless-stopped

Synology NAS users:

(just for my synology fam that might want to get this working with a USB modem on that platform)

I am using this on a Synology NAS with a StarTech.com USB 2.0 Fax Modem that I picked up from Amazon. Should work with other Conexant USB modems. After installing the SynoCommunity Package USBSerial I run the following script on bootup as root (I don't think they're all needed but I load them all anyway based on MariusHosting's USB Drivers article )

Using the above modem on my Synology DS218+, my device (as in the compose above) shows up as /dev/ttyACM0. My example below and compose / docker run above use that device address as the example.

#!/bin/sh

echo "Loading kernel modules"
# ensure kernel modules are loaded
/sbin/modprobe usbserial
/sbin/modprobe ftdi_sio
/sbin/modprobe cdc-acm

echo "Fixing Perms"
# add perms to devices
chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0
# chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0

echo "Done"
