I haven’t even looked at the code yet but I know I am going to love this

So I wanted to try the ex_ari_example out last night, but I had some trouble with the Asterisk part. I haven’t played with Asterisk before so I’m not really sure what’s going wrong.

1. The docker run ... command uses --net host, which doesn’t work on Mac unfortunately. So I ran it like this instead: docker run -p 8088:8088 -p 8089:8089 -p 5062:5062/tcp -p 5062:5062/udp -p 10000-10099:10000-10099/udp --name asterisk -v $PWD/asterisk_local_config/pjsip.conf:/etc/asterisk/pjsip.conf ex-ari-asterisk (I googled around a bit and guessed at the ports). After this, I could start the project with iex -S mix and it connected!
2. However, I was unable to connect to Asterisk with Zoiper. On the accounts page it says Request Timeout (code: 408) and there is nothing in the Asterisk logs.
3. I then tried running the Asterisk container inside an Ubuntu virtual machine, using --net host, and running it on a bridged network (VM had IP 192.168.33.10). I changed all the references to 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.33.10 in dev.env, so the Elixir project works fine. But Zoiper gives me a new error now. Instead of Request Timeout (code: 408) error, I now get Unauthorized (code: 401) and I see this in the Asterisk logs:

I wonder if I am using the wrong username/password?

Super curious about this stuff. I don’t have the time anytime soon to dive into Asterisk but damn if I don’t want to

Considering the Erlang/OTP telecommunications heritage, are there previous solutions to work with Asterisk around, do you know?

Cool that you are doing and releasing this!
