You can use the below diff

diff --git a/ims_base/kamailio_init.sh b/ims_base/kamailio_init.sh

Hi @lglhust,

If your plan is to open a Ticket in Kamailio repo, then you need to do this in the Container terminal :

docker exec -it kamailio_container /bin/bash

ulimit -c unlimited sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern=core

the coredump will be in the root /

make sure that gdb tool is installed

after that you need to read teh coredump on the conainer, sending teh coredump to someone will not help, it must be done on the same machine with the same problematic code that need to be debugged: like that

gdb bt full and copy the whole output

Best regards

Thanks a lot.
