FreePBX commercial module cleanup

JaredBusch

On a new install of FreePBX 14, one of the first things I do after it is up and installed is to remove all of the commercial modules that are not going to be used.

Why? Because if they are not going to be used, I don't want to be spammed about updates to them.

Here is an example from a client system.

fwconsole ma listonline | grep Commercial

Module Name	Version	Status	License
areminder		Not Installed (Available online: 14.0.4.2)	Commercial
broadcast		Not Installed (Available online: 14.0.1.10)	Commercial

webcallback		Not Installed (Available online: 13.0.11.2)	Commercial
zulu	14.0.4.6	Enabled and up to date	Commercial

This is how I remove everything.
I should really turn this into a script, but it is fast enough manually, and I don't do it like every day or anything.

Disable all the modules to be removed.

fwconsole ma disable areminder
...
fwconsole ma disable webcallback

Reload everything.

fwconsole reload

Uninstall and delete the modules

fwconsole ma uninstall areminder
...
fwconsole ma uninstall webcallback
fwconsole ma delete areminder
...
fwconsole ma delete webcallback

Reload everything.

fwconsole reload

I do the same thing.

You can do all of this in the GUI also.

@JaredBusch do you just disable every module and just go back in and install the ones used?

That seems like the most logical approach, just looking into how you operate.

I could, but no. I know before it is ever installed what the design is going to be. That is part of discovery.

I'm getting the below result for every single module I try to uninstall but if I do fwconsole ma listonline again it's showing Not Installed (Locally available) for the module it just gave me the error for, is this normal?

[root@freepbx ~]# fwconsole ma uninstall calllimit
dropping table calllimit..done<br>
dropping table calllimit_usage..done<br>
The following error(s) occured:
 - Failed to run un-installation scripts

Did you reload after disable?

@JaredBusch Yes, I did.

@JaredBusch Yes, I did.

I've seen the error before, but not everytime like you say.

I verify it is no installed as you did, and then delete it

Ok, it looks like it's working, I was just curious about the error. No problems deleting them. Thanks

@JaredBusch that's a handy list, thanks.

Well the instruction on how to do it was in the first post.

As this can change overtime, that is important.

Also , I choose to leave things like EPM and Zulu even if not currently being used.

@JaredBusch doing it with a script:

for i in fwconsole ma listonline | grep Commercial | awk '{print $2}'

do
fwconsole ma disable $i
done

fwconsole reload

for i in fwconsole ma listonline | grep Commercial | awk '{print $2}'

do
fwconsole ma uninstall $i
fwconsole ma delete $i
done

fwconsole reload

There's already thread about creating an initial FreePBX Setup
https://www.republicofit.com/topic/21570/starting-to-work-on-an-initial-freepbx-setup-script/

And the scripts is located at https://github.com/sorvani/freepbx-helper-scripts/tree/master/InitialSetup if you want to open a pull request.

The problem with doing a fwconsole ma listonline on a new install is that it will immediately attempt to then install some commercial modules that have severe security updates.

And those also have dependencies that get updated.

I have not had a chance to come back around to find the best solution for an initial loop.

Also, more experiments proved out that you can simply do the delete.
