@emsanator : Check line 81 of your file. The error states that it couldn't find a declaration for listen on that line. (/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:81)
I expect that you're missing "listen myftpserver" or similar.

You're missing a name declaration beside the listen in the last example that you posted.
listen <my_service_here>
and optionally the hostname and bind port:
listen <my_service_here> localhost:8080

Aside from moving this instance to a cloud provider such as vultr, is it "OK" practice to place FreePBX on a DMZ and let the responsive firewall control access? I'm always worried about placing devices outside of the firewall.

Thanks @scottalanmiller, I disabled sip alg on the ERL as the first step in diagnosing; I had forgotten that it comes enabled on these.
I didn't realized that STUN was only needed on one side as the FreePBX interface does provide a place to enter it. Regardless, this didn't fix my issue.

Is there anything else I should be checking? Firewall is configured to allow, NAT is configured appropriately, ports are specified as matching FreePBX. Connection can be established and calls can be initiated, just no audio.

I'm really pulling my hair out over this one...

Due to a VPN bug on Android 8.1 I cannot use a VPN for this use case so am attempting to rely on the responsive firewall in Fpbx 14 along with port forwarding via an ERL.

I have forwarded 5060 and 10,000 to 20,000 as per the documents and the user can successfully connect with the FreePBX instance using Zoiper and AdoreSoftphone.
The issue is that the user can place a call but receives no audio.
The asterisk logs show the connection, the call being established, et al and no errors.

I've been fighting with this for days and cannot figure out why one would not receive audio.
I have attempted to configure STUN in FreePBX and matching STUN in Zoiper but the issue persists.

Connecting to FreePBX while on the same LAN works without issue so it's definitely a NAT or routing issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to check next?

Thanks!

@dashrender, @JaredBusch, @scottalanmiller : You assume that all clients/sites have a VLK or will pay for you to perform a clean install when one could spend under 10 minutes removing applications.

I'm not saying that you're all incorrect, just that it's not something that one can do for all clients.

@dbeato said in Buying new business desktops - what do you like?:

Dell Optiplex Micro 3050

I've been deploying quite a few of the HP 400 G3 devices over the last little bit. Small, lots of ports, priced well. My only complaint is that there are about 8 pre-installed HP apps that are a total waste and need to be removed before deployment.

Do you have a specific time zone that the majority of your clients are in or are they spread across the US? Seeing as how there is as much as a 5 hour difference from one coast to another, you'd want one person in at least 2 of those zones I would think.

Also, have you considered us Canadians? Our dollar is weaker than the US so you could, effectively, save 25% on labour costs.

@lakshmana : It works fine, but you're using the wrong quotes.
[string]$file = "C:\Users\$env:username\blah"

Variable names cannot be replaced in a string delimited with '
$test = 'My variable'
$this = "This is $test"
PS > $this
PS > "This is My Variable"

@wirestyle22 - Can one "rage quit" family? I'd seriously consider it if I were you

"God" (replace with your deity of choice)
"Jack of all trades, master of one team"
"Overworked"
"Chief of the unicorn department" (taken from here: http://justsomething.co/hilarious-job-titles/)

I honestly did think about this one but cannot formulate a single title that encapsulates both roles. Sorry.

I've had really good success with MXRoute for small orgs.
They provide next-to-no support (and are open about that in their FAQ) but, in 3 years of utilizing their service, I've never required it.

Their pricing and the services that they offer are excellent (i.e. webmail via horde, squirrel, and roundcube. Spamassassin, global and local filters, relays, imap(s), pop(s), alternate imap/pop ports, caldav, zPush, etc)

For one of my personal projects I have a 30gb 5$ / year account via a discount code I found on VPSCheap, though I do use Exchange for my business due to better calendar/contact/Outlook integration.

One of their current offers:

Storage: 100GB
Features: Unlimited domains/email accounts
Server Location: Dallas, TX

Price:
Monthly: $5
Quarterly: $10
Semi-Annually: $20
Annually: $35
Biennially (every 2 years): $60
Triennially (every 3 years): $90

@scottalanmiller There's just something about the bezel on that laptop that makes me think of my old EEE 901 pc. It looks so "cheap" compared to other devices in the price range. The specs do look decent, though it appears to be designed for Ubuntu. I wonder if there are any binaries exclusive to their hardware that would prevent one from running Fedora or alternatives on it?

I've never had to do this before but could think of handling it one of two ways:

1. placing a mount command in their bashrc/profile scipt
2. use autofs and a secrets file per user such as this

I'm sure others will have much better solutions to mine though

@quixoticjustin : I notice that the Quixotic team is spending a lot of time on the ticketing end of things but the asset screen is getting little love. When will one be able to view running processes, inspect the event log, uninstall an application, etc?

No worries. I know a little bit about these as I tend to hoard them when I can find them cheap. I use ZFS at home and at the office and have a relatively large "array".

@scottalanmiller , the H200, H310 and IBM M1015 using the same chipsets are real raid controllers just without caching or BBU. They're entry level devices meant for entry-level servers but are widely sought after for those running software "raid" (i.e. BTRFS, ZFS, and mdadm) due to their ability to be used in IT mode.

I have created Raid 5, 6, and 10 arrays on these units and imported them successfully on other, more feature complete, controllers such as the H710 and P420.

@quixoticjeremy, the agent being python so it's platform agnostic to a large degree I would assume? Further fuel for the first person stating python would have been a better replacement for Java than JS.

Though, to play devil's advocate, can node.js not handle the same tasks that python is doing for the agent? On windows it appears it's just a wrapper around a slew of wmi calls.

@travisdh1 said in Linux OS advice for building a SAM-SD:

They've always been against using software RAID. Even back then. Of course, if you're at all cognizent of the thing, and the fix is super easy, install mdadm.

I'm curious about this statement as Proxmox fully supports ZFS filesystems via GUI and CLI...
