Setting up FusionPBX

@markjcrane said in Setting up FusionPBX:
@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.

Thats an interesting view in regards to Freeswitch. My view before coming into this community and picking up FreePBX was that freeswitch had a many many more active developers and related projects than asterisk. I have been to a lot of conferences and I cant think of any CLEC or ITSP that is running something asterisk anymore, and almost everyone is using FreePBX, Kamailio and OpenSIPS in their stack.
I believe one of the original reasons freeswitch started was disagreements over dropping AIX for SIP. So the core freeswitch devs were once part of Asterisk.
I will say that FreePBX has become very well put together and easy to install, etc. From talking with developers thus far I am not sure Fusion wants to be that. My original though was "lets really make a FreePBX competitor" but the more I get into it I feel like "I am going to develop an app that works like Dialpad that works with Fusion" and forget all about my original motives...

Debian 9 has a lot of great security stuff. I am working on hardening my new stretch install (tmux, lynx and netwalker installed) for a sort of terminal based replacement for my RDSH install.
I worked with a guy who was all terminal, I always wanted to give it a try.

I would not say this, unless you apply it globally. RHEL 7 has been out for what 3 years now and Sangoma has just last month released FreePBX for it.
