Setting up FusionPBX
-
I don't expect this to actually work, but I had this VM already there to be cloned. I am installing a CentOS 7 minimal instance now to actually run this on.
-
And nope...
Though I suspected that at the start because this was how it started off.
Looks like the killer was pstgresql
Then some FreeSwitch bits. So it almost worked on Fedora 26. I bet it could be done by hand.
-
@jaredbusch Sorry most effort has gone into Debian then FreeBSD and CentOS script was added by another developer based on the Debian script I'll give it another couple test installs. I haven't tried it on Fedora.

Don't be sorry. I never expected it to work there. it was just something I already had ready. Nothing on the FusionPBX site led me to believe it would work.
Is Debian the recommended then? I will use Debian 9.1 then.
-
Also, work happened. did not get time to do this this afternoon as I expected.
-
Starting from a clean Debian 9.1 install as noted in my prior guide.
switch to root if not already
su -Install packages that will be needed to run the install script.
apt-get install -y ssh sudo ca-certificatesAdd your user to
sudoadduser jbusch sudoRun the install script
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx-install.sh/master/debian/pre-install.sh | sh cd /usr/src/fusionpbx-install.sh/debian && ./install.shAnd it fails with a bunch of missing dependencies and packages. It seems a lot of things are pulling for jessie and not stretch?
I did not expect Debian 9.1 to fail like this when the recommend OS is Debian 8.
/sigh
Not going to bother with Debian 8 tonight.
-
@jaredbusch You need Debian 8 currently. You can get it from here.

Is it failing because you've chosed to install Debian 9.1 has a minimal install?

@black3dynamite It's failing because Debian 9 was just released and FreeSWITCH doesn't have a package repo for Debian 9 'stretch' yet. ClueCon is next week maybe they will share some information on it then.

Yeah, I knew debian 9 was new, just. Again like my Fedora go this morning, it is what I already had on my hypervisor.
-
Debian 9 is from mid-June. At a full month and a half now. New-ish, but not new. In Fedora or Ubuntu terms, that would be a full 25% through a release life cycle.

That's crappy that they do not have anything for Debian 9 yet. What distro(s) are FreeSWITCH focused on?

FreeSWITCH
From their documentation:
Debian 8 Jessie (preferred) The development team uses and builds against Debian 8 "Jessie". They recommend Debian because of its stable, yet updated, kernel and wide support.
The also have prebuilt binaries for Centos /RHEL 7 and Windows

Seems like they'd be pretty anxious to be on Debian 9 if Debian is their focus. You'd think that they would have been testing on beta before the release date.

Again from their docs:
Debian 9 "Stretch" was released 17th June 2017 at this time FreeSWITCH
version 1.6 is not built for the platform. It is expected to be fully supported when version 1.8 is released. -

They have freeSWITCH 1.9 in development which makes me think 1.8 should already be out.
1.6 branch originally came out in 2015, 1.6.18 which is the current recommended release came out June 15,2017. So they look pretty active.

Actively releasing "something" doesn't take much effort. That they are not releasing for the last month and a half on the current OS version of their selected OS worries me just a little. I know that these things take time, but generally extremely little time AND they should have been working on it before the OS released. They chose their OS and there is nothing wrong with Debian, but if they are going to choose it, they need to embrace it.

Dependency changes have delayed the FreeSWITCH package release for Debian 9. FreeSWITCH development is actively developed. But open source does sometimes require some patience.Announcements for FreeSWITCH will be given at ClueCon which is next week Keynote is on Tuesday morning. ClueCon is an annual open source telephony event in Chicago. Anthony is the keynote speaker and will be speaking on Tuesday morning. Here is the schedule https://www.cluecon.com/schedule.html. FreeSWITCH project is certainly alive and actively moving forward.
