GonoPBX – Modern Open-Source Web GUI for Asterisk (Docker, React, FastAPI)

Asterisk Asterisk Distributions
1

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share a project I’ve been working on: GonoPBX – a modern, lightweight web GUI for managing Asterisk.

Why I built it: I’ve been running Asterisk for a while and wanted a simple, clean management interface without the overhead of larger solutions. Something I could deploy in minutes with Docker and that covers the day-to-day administration tasks well.

What it does:

  • Extension Management – Create and manage PJSIP extensions with live registration status

  • SIP Trunk Configuration – Registration and IP-based auth, with provider templates (currently Plusnet IPfonie Basic/Extended/Connect)

  • DID Routing – Assign incoming numbers to extensions, number block management per trunk

  • Call Forwarding – CFU, CFB, CFNR per extension with one-click toggle

  • Voicemail – Per-extension with PIN, email notification, and web-based audio player

  • CDR – Full call detail records with filtering (source, destination, status) and statistics

  • Live Dashboard – Real-time Asterisk status via WebSocket: registered endpoints, active channels, recent calls

  • Multi-User – Admin and user roles with JWT authentication

Tech stack:

  • Asterisk 20 (PJSIP)

  • FastAPI (Python) backend

  • React + TypeScript frontend (Vite, Tailwind CSS)

  • PostgreSQL

  • Docker Compose (full stack)

Getting started:

git clone https://github.com/ankaios76/gonopbx.git
cd gonopbx
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

The installer auto-detects your server IP, generates secure passwords, configures Asterisk, and starts everything via Docker Compose. Let’s Encrypt SSL is supported.

This is an actively developed hobby project and I’m very open to feedback from the Asterisk community. I’d especially like to hear:

  • Which SIP provider templates would be useful to add?

  • What features are most important to you in a web GUI?

  • Any feedback on the PJSIP configuration approach?

Thanks for checking it out!

Looking forward to contribute but now require support first:
docker logs -f pbx_asterisk gives me:

and nothing more - a show stopper probably not happening on your build :innocent:
