# Amusing call

So if you vaguely know me enough (by that I mean *very well*) you’ll know that I managed to convince one of my colleagues and fellow chaotic friends to spin up a FreePBX instance.

…on his Unraid server.

I can’t remember exactly when I’d brought it up, but at one point I’d mentioned that it’s possible that FreePBX just needed its own interface.

I was just informed tonight that **that did the trick**.

Was I surprised? Not exactly. Was it funny? Somehow, yes.

So if you’re ever trying to use FreePBX on Unraid, be sure to give its Docker container its own network interface.

*Edit, just a few minutes later: I’ve been informed that it actually needed a bridged interface.*
