Description

Installs Asterisk 1.8 on Debian/Ubuntu and configures it to accept incoming and
outgoing calls for a single Google Voice number.

Changes

v0.4.0:

• Add documentation and a check to make sure we're in Ubuntu/Debian

v0.3.0:

• Initial version, tested on Ubuntu only

Requirements

Platform:

• Ubuntu and Debian, 64 bit (amd64/x86_64)

Other platforms can be used but you'll need to modify the default recipe.

Attributes

There are a number of attributes defined in the cookbook, but the defaults are
pretty sane. You probably don't need to change any of them to get a working
setup.

However, you'll need to configure two data bags. The asterisk data bag should
contain your desired Asterisk accounts (I've only tested it with one) defined
like this:

id:         
data_bag:   asterisk
extension:  
full_name:  
password:   
username:   

Your Google account should be configured in a more general auth data bag. I
keep this separate from the Asterisk config because it's also used by other
cookbooks in my system. My auth data bag is where I keep credentials info for
all third-party accounts. The auth data bag must contian a google object
like this:

id:        google
username:  @gmail.com
password:  

Usage

Include the asterisk default recipe in a role run list.

name "role_for_asterisk"
run_list("recipe[asterisk]")

Once Asterisk is installed, you should be able to open any SIP client (like
Ekiga in Ubuntu) and connect to it using the account you set up in the
asterisk data bag.
