# 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/](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
```bash
mkdir elproxy
```
Next dowload the ElProxy.conf file from [https://github.com/n8acl/elproxy-docker/blob/master/ELProxy.conf](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:
```yaml
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:
- //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:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
Check to make sure the container is running:
```bash
docker container ls --all
```
Now try to connect to your Echolink Proxy and the rest of the network.
