Custom UID/GID
By default, Asterisk will run as default user (asterisk) with UID and GID assigned by alpine linux, but it's possible to specify then through environment variables:
ASTERISK_UID
ASTERISK_GID
(note, GID is not supported in debian releases)
Default asterisk user will be re-created with new UID and GID
In given example, ID's of current host user will be used to start, that will fix permissions issues on logs volume:
docker run -ti --rm \
-e ASTERISK_UID=`id -u` \
-e ASTERISK_GID=`id -g` \
-v ${PWD}/logs:/var/log/asterisk \
andrius/asterisk
Alternative user
It is possible to specifty other than asterisk user to start through environment variable ASTERISK_USER
:
docker run -ti --rm -e ASTERISK_USER=root andrius/asterisk
