chan_dongle support

[ahmeaqas]

Hello @ugoviti,

What a great project, I congratulate you for making Asterisk and FreeBPX install such easy.

I have just grabbed release 20.16.5, unzipped it and copied default.env to .env and deploy it using docker compose on a PC with fresh install of UBUNTU 20.04.

Containers are up and running with no error. As per changelog, Chan_dongle is supported since 18.16.10.

But I have accessed the asterisk CLI of the container but core show help does not show dongle supported commands.

May you please put light on further steps to go on?

You need to create dongle.conf file in ./data/izpbx/etc/asterisk directory.

Thank you so much @luzrain for your help. Now I have one more issue,

WARNING[1238]: chan_dongle.c:229 opentty: unable to open /dev/ttyUSB2: Permission

[ugoviti]

WARNING[1238]: chan_dongle.c:229 opentty: unable to open /dev/ttyUSB2: Permission

Hi, if you enter inside the container the file /dev/ttyUSB2 exist? permissions? can you print ls -al /dev/ttyUSB2

Thank you

[ahmeaqas]

ls -al /dev/ttyUSB2

produce following output

ls -al /dev/ttyUSB2

produce following output

crw-rw---- 1 root games 188, 2 Mar 22 14:52 /dev/ttyUSB2

can you run:

(izPBX)[root@pbx.initzero: /]# id asterisk
uid=1000(asterisk) gid=1000(asterisk) groups=1000(asterisk),10(wheel),48(apache)

(izPBX)[root@pbx.initzero: /]# gpasswd -a asterisk games 
Adding user asterisk to group games

(izPBX)[root@pbx.initzero: /]# id asterisk
uid=1000(asterisk) gid=1000(asterisk) groups=1000(asterisk),10(wheel),20(games),48(apache)

supervisorctl restart izpbx

if works I must add asterisk users to games (in your distro)....

anyway can you print the GID number?

ls -aln /dev/ttyUSB2

tnx

[ahmeaqas]

I have run the following commands and it produces the same out.

(izPBX)[root@pbx.initzero: /]# id asterisk uid=1000(asterisk) gid=1000(asterisk) groups=1000(asterisk),10(wheel),48(apache)

(izPBX)[root@pbx.initzero: /]# gpasswd -a asterisk games Adding user asterisk to group games

(izPBX)[root@pbx.initzero: /]# id asterisk uid=1000(asterisk) gid=1000(asterisk) groups=1000(asterisk),10(wheel),20(games),48(apache)

Moreover,

ls -aln /dev/ttyUSB2 produces the following output

crw-rw---- 1 0 20 188, 2 Mar 22 14:52 /dev/ttyUSB2

I am still getting the same permission error.

[ugoviti]

ok, you must add asterisk user to group id: 188 (the games group from what env came from? ouside or inside izpbx docker container)

anyway try with:

id asterisk ; usermod -G wheel,apache,188 asterisk ; id asterisk
supervisorctl restart izpbx

[ahmeaqas]

the games group from what env came from? ouside or inside izpbx docker

inside izpx docker

Error experienced

id asterisk ; usermod -G wheel,apache,188 asterisk ; id asterisk

usermod: group '188' does not exist

I have resolved the issue. Hope this article will help someone else.
