Did you ever try NethServer ?

@scottalanmiller I need to point out It's not just a hope, we already have that as enterprise product with two thousand installations. We need just to work on it, upgrade to the last version and release for the community
FreePBX / Asterisk? Nice
-
This would be a really good product to do a AMA.
-
@IRJ glad to hear this. I could help as far as I can
-
Is this basically meant to be a replacement for Windows Server Essentials (SBS)?
-
@IRJ That's one of our goals but you should bear in mind that NethServer is also a powerful UTM firewall (proxy http + content filter) and as you mentioned a personal cloud thanks to NextCloud.
I know that our main site isn't so detailed, I'm currently working on that -
Installed it in a VM. It has a valid IP address, but I can't access the web interface?

Works fine here. Port 980, SSL.

blin
Fourth menu item down on the main menu. Open up "domain accounts" and it has you set up the domain.
-
@scottalanmiller On the public demo the 4th option doesn't show the advanced functionality.
And it appears to only be for joining a domain, not creating one.

not following any of the links, just read the thread, but this sounds like what ClearOS tried to do.
I am not a fan of magic all in one boxes in general. But once you need to build up something to replace a Windows DC, that thing generally has all these components.
I would leave the PBX off, though I do like the sounds of a full faxing solution because that is not easily possible in FreePBX.

Of course but we're crazy and we want to do it better

You're not obligated to put all those stuff in "one magic box" bear in mind that @nethserver is extremely modular so you can just install one of our modules on each server that you sets up

NethServer already uses Hylafax for a full faxing solution supporting IAX virtual modems and "real" fax modems

Well ClearOS crashed hard after version 5.2 years ago. So if you have something solid, I will certainly pay attention to it.
-
@JaredBusch man, we're working hard with our thriving community to achieve that. If you trust us I promise you won't regret it

well, that sounds even better I'll test NethServer in my lab sooner than expected.
I can't wait to know what the outcome of that will be.
-
@scottalanmiller @Reid-Cooper @IRJ @DustinB3403 @triple9 @StrongBad @aaronstuder @JaredBusch did you try NethServer finally? What are your feelings? Very curious
-
@alefattorini I looked at it briefly, I hadn't dug into it very much.
Thanks for following up!
-
@DustinB3403 My pleasure, we're working hard on that and more hand on deck the better

Not yet. It is on my project list for our Bundy lab.
