Reload extensions and reload dialplan services about asterisk-hass-addons

[TECH7Fox]

Nevermind doesn't seem possible to create services from add-ons. Thought it was for some reason.

Maybe via the integration.

It's also not complicated to create a HA script which calls the stdin service from SSH terminal to run a docker exec call to reload the asterisk extensions.

Looked at that as well, but they removed the stin service.

Nevermind, stupid of me. It was only a changelog for the SSH add-on. My bad.

I have one other idea to tackle this issue in a more simpler way:

Instead of copying custom files over the default files (rsync), we could instead create add symbolic links into /etc/asterisk that points to the custom files in /config/asterisk/custom.

Then, the users can reload things by calling the Asterisk CLI commands directly.

The only drawback is that, if the user adds a new file, then for that file to be picked up it would still be required to restart the add-on, but I think this is an Ok compromise.

I can work on it if agreed. Any opinions?

It's even possible to create a service that keeps watching the /config/asterisk/custom directory for file added/removed and then properly create/delete the symlinks on the fly. But honestly I don't think it's worth it... adding/deleting files is not something you do regularly, thus restarting the add-on for such should be acceptable.

But honestly I don't think it's worth it...

I agree, the add-on restarts much quicker for me now then before and like you said changing the config is not something people do very often.
Maybe we can skip this feature.

[TECH7Fox]

And indeed it's also possible with the SSH add-on when we use symlinks.
