tr-docker

Pre-built Trunk Recorder Docker image with all common plugins included. Drop in as a replacement for a manual trunk-recorder build.

docker pull ghcr.io/trunk-reporter/trunk-recorder:latest

Included Plugins

Plugin	Source	Purpose
mqtt_status	TrunkRecorder/tr-plugin-mqtt	Call/unit/recorder events over MQTT
mqtt_dvcf	trunk-reporter/tr-plugin-dvcf	Raw IMBE codec frames → DVCF files + MQTT (for IMBE-ASR)
mqtt_avcf	trunk-reporter/tr-plugin-avcf	Analog audio + metadata → AVCF files + MQTT
symbolstream	trunk-reporter/symbolstream	Live codec frame streaming over TCP/UDP
simplestream	upstream (patched)	Audio streaming to remote consumers
openmhz_uploader	upstream	Upload calls to OpenMHz
broadcastify_uploader	upstream	Upload calls to Broadcastify
unit_script	upstream	Run scripts on unit events

Usage

docker run -d \
  --name trunk-recorder \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --privileged \
  --device /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb \
  -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus \
  -v ./config.json:/app/config.json:ro \
  -v ./audio:/app/audio \
  ghcr.io/trunk-reporter/trunk-recorder:latest

Mount your existing config.json — everything else is the same as a standard trunk-recorder setup.

Reproducible Builds

The Dockerfile accepts build args for all git checkouts:

docker build \
  --build-arg TRUNK_RECORDER_REF=<tag-or-sha> \
  --build-arg TR_PLUGIN_MQTT_REF=<tag-or-sha> \
  --build-arg TR_PLUGIN_DVCF_REF=<tag-or-sha> \
  --build-arg TR_PLUGIN_AVCF_REF=<tag-or-sha> \
  --build-arg SYMBOLSTREAM_REF=<tag-or-sha> \
  -t trunk-recorder:local .

Defaults track the main development branches for weekly images; release builds should pin exact tags or commit SHAs.

Plugin Configuration

Add plugins to the plugins array in your config.json. See each plugin's README for full config options.

Notes

• Weekly images track the configured default refs; release images should pin build args to exact refs
• simplestream includes a pending dangling-pointer fix (TR PR #1107) that will be removed once merged upstream
• Requires voice_codec_data() API (merged in TR commit c996900) — already in this image
