ELProxy Docker Container

ElProxy is a docker container that will spin up an Echolink Proxy server for the Echolink Amateur Radio VOIP network.

If you are behind a network firewall where you are not able to forward the ports needed for Echolink to work (say like a work firewall or a hotel firewallO) the Echolink Proxy Server allows you to connect out of that network on one port versus the 2 or 3 needed. You can run the Proxy at home and get access to Echolink that way.

Echolink is designed and maintained by Jonathan Taylor, K1RFD. He also designed the proxy, I just spun it into a Docker Container to make deployment easier for me. Find out more about Echolink at https://www.echolink.org/.

Prerequisites

In order to run this container you need to do the following:

  • Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed

  • Create directory to hold the config file for the proxy

mkdir elproxy

Next dowload the ElProxy.conf file from https://github.com/n8acl/elproxy-docker/blob/master/ELProxy.conf and put it in this directory you just created.

Modify the password field to a password that you will remember.

Save the file.

Now we are ready to get it running in docker.

Running with Docker Compose

Copy the following into a docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.2'

services:
  elproxy:
    image: n8acl/elproxy:latest
    container_name: elproxy
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
        - '8200:8200'
        - '5198:5198'
        - '5199:5199'
        - '5200:5200'
    volumes:
        - /<path-to>/elproxy/ELProxy.conf:/usr/app/ELProxy.conf

Replace < tag > with the tag for your platform. Tags are:

  • rpi: for running on a Raspberry Pi
  • amd64: for running on a regular linux computer

Replace < path-to > with the full path to the config file you just created.

Save the file and then type:

docker-compose up -d

Check to make sure the container is running:

docker container ls --all

Now try to connect to your Echolink Proxy and the rest of the network.
