Alpine Linux latest-stable (written when latest-stable == 3.16.0)

====== Note about missing packages ======

Some Asterisk modules are unavailable due to the lack of available packages on Alpine Linux. These currently are:

  * ''beanstalk'' - Available as a package, but I'm not installing it :)
  * ''codec2'' - Unavailable as a package, but the [[https://github.com/drowe67/codec2|most recent commit]] does compile and install
  * ''iksemel'' (Jabber-specialised XML parser) - Unavailable as a package, most recent source simply doesn't compile, but [[https://github.com/timothytylee/iksemel-1.4|version 1.4]] does compile and install.
  * ''nbs'' (Network Broadcast Sound) - Unavailable as a package, compiling from source doesn't work without patching for ''musl''.
  * ''osptk'' (Open Settlement Protocol) - Unavailable as a package (unsure why), couldn't be bothered finding source and seeing if it compiles.
  * ''radius'' - Installing ''freeradius-dev'' is not sufficient, and I'm not interested in figuring out what package is required for this one.
  * ''resample'' - Installing ''libresample-dev'' is apparently not sufficient, even though the install-prereqs script checks for the header file installed by that package before attempting to build from source.. I do not care enough.
  * ''vpb'' (Voicetronix) - Unavailable as a package, website is confusing, don't care enough.

===== Applications =====

  * ''app_jack'' is unavailable due to resample
  * ''app_osplookup'' is unavailable due to osptk

===== Call Detail Recording =====

  * ''cdr_beanstalkd'' is unavailable due to beanstalk
  * ''cdr_radius'' is unavailable due to radius

===== Channel Event Logging =====

  * ''cel_beanstalkd'' is unavailable due to beanstalk
  * ''cel_radius'' is unavailable due to radius

===== Channel Drivers =====

  * ''chan_misdn'' (ISDN BRI/PRI) is unavailable due to isdnnet, misdn and suppserv
  * ''chan_nbs'' (network broadcast sound) is unavailable due to nbs
  * ''chan_phone'' (linux telephony api) is unavailable due to ixjuser
  * ''chan_vpb'' (Voicetronix) is unavailable due to vpb

===== Resource Modules =====

  * ''res_corosync'' is unavailable due to corosync
  * ''res_timing_kqueue'' is unavailable due to kqueue

====== Install commands ======

Not exactly a ready-to-run script, more a log of all the commands I ran in the pursuit of sippies. During the menuconfig step, I enabled everything possible except for any deprecated modules that aren't enabled by default anyway.

====== Configuration ======

This part was initially extremely daunting. Not helping matters is that the fact that there are no pages online (that I could find) that discuss a viable minimal configuration for a recent Asterisk version. Apparently either nobody is starting fresh with Asterisk in 2022 or nobody is interested in writing about it. Further frustrating matters is that Asterisk's official wiki, a Confluence site, went down shortly after I began the process of setting Asterisk up.

===== modules.conf =====

I started here, and essentially trimmed the config file down to ''autoload=yes'', because I disabled all modules in ''make menuconfig'' that I didn't want to actually use.

<code ini modules.conf>
[modules]
autoload=yes
</code>

===== features.conf =====

I then went here, and I trimmed it down to just the things that seemed relevant.

<code ini features.conf>
