Kazoo Docker Deployment

Preface

This is production (stripped down to bare minimum) version of Kazoo Docker. If you plan to alter source code or to develop features please consider it.

Notes

The intended use case is to quickly convert a VPS with Docker to complete Kazoo instance. Installation scripts tries to automatically determine hosts external IP address and deduce Kazoo API URL from it. This could be overriden with KAZOO_URL and/or EXT_IP environment variables.

As Kazoo differentiate clients by realms, and realms are domains, you also need to have a dedicated domain name server that could resolve all subdomains to single Kazoo IP address. Same could be done manually if number of sub-accounts is small.

In order to make Kazoo instance useful one also needs a VoIP carrier to provide PSTN numbers to dial into Kazoo, and same/another VoIP carrier to handle outgoing calls.

There is a docker volume couchdb-data to persistently store all Kazoo data. In case to get a clean install this volume should be removed with docker volume rm NAME command.

Each container is parametrized by NETWORK envirinment variable, with default value set to kazoo. By defining this variable it is possible to run several Kazoo instances on the same host.

Networking

There is a Nginx container provided to route HTTP requests to Monster UI (main Kazoo frontend) and to Kazoo API itself with exposed HTTP port 80. UDP port 5060 is exposed by Docker to provide access to Kazoo Kamailio instance to enable SIP devices to register and make calls.

In order to make audio work few tweaks are performed:

1. Kamailio local.conf is altered with listen=UDP_SIP advertise EXT_IP:5060
2. FreeSWITCH is instructed to consider all traffic external, and ext-rtp-ip parameter is set to EXT_IP
3. For the reason unknown DNAT rule is added to route UDP from Kamailio to FreeSWITCH in form of EXT_IP:11000 -> freeswitch.container.ip
4. Kamailio is added as SBC (both container and external ip addresses)

Init

You need to have Docker version at least 1.9.0 (as this setup relies on docker network heavily). Also you need to make sure curl and git are installed, and iptables is runnable.

git clone https://github.com/jamhed/kazoo-docker
cd kazoo-docker && ./run.sh

You can stop the Kazoo instance with stop.sh script, and start it back with start.sh script anytime.

After start

To initialize the system after first run (with empty database) there is after-start.sh script that:

1. Creates a master account admin with password admin
2. Adds freeswitch node to Kazoo
3. Registers sound prompts
4. Registers Monster-UI 'apps'

The after-start.sh script is called automatically by run.sh.

Kazoo Erlang console

docker exec -ti kazoo.kazoo ./run.sh remote_console

Kazoo sup

sup is a way to issue commands directly to Kazoo, please consult Kazoo documentation for more information.

Please note that sup script provided here is a mere wrapper of docker exec -ti kazoo.kazoo sup. If you have several Kazoo instances on the same host or have used different network name then the proper use of sup script is NETWORK=network_name ./sup [sup_args]

# Running apps
./sup kapps_controller running_apps

# Add Freeswitch node
./sup ecallmgr_maintenance add_fs_node [email protected]

# Get freeswitch nodes (should be [<<"[email protected]">>])
./sup ecallmgr_config get fs_nodes

# Add admin user
./sup crossbar_maintenance create_account admin_name kamailio.kazoo admin admin

# Import Kazoo voice prompts
./sup kazoo_media_maintenance import_prompts /home/user/kazoo-sounds/kazoo-core/en/us en-us

# Check RabbitMQ
./sup kazoo_amqp_maintenance connection_summary

Sanity check

Check Kazoo status (this is probably what you should see)

$ docker exec kazoo.kazoo sup kz_nodes status

Check Kazoo knows about Kamailio instance

$ docker exec kazoo.kazoo sup ecallmgr_maintenance acl_summary

Check Kamailio has FreeSwitch as dispatcher

$ docker exec kamailio.kazoo kamcmd dispatcher.list | grep URI
URI: sip:freeswitch.kazoo:11000

Monster-UI

How to register Monster-UI apps:

1. You need to have monster-ui and kazoo images running
2. You need to copy apps from monster-ui to kazoo
3. You need to 'register' these apps

docker cp monster-ui.kazoo:/usr/share/nginx/html/dist/apps apps
docker cp apps kazoo.kazoo:/home/user
rm -rf apps
cd kazoo
./sup crossbar_maintenance init_apps /home/user/apps $KAZOO_URL

After you have added applications to Kazoo you need to enable them to be accessible by users. You can do it using Kazoo Monster UI.

TODO

1. Make two instances of Kazoo to work together, probably on different hosts.
2. Provide docker container with domain name server.
3. Integrate Nginx with letsencrypt to setup HTTPS by default.
4. Enable websockets by default.
5. Provide a way to automatically test setup (with MakeBusy), either external or internal.
