FreePBX v17 Update

FreePBX 17 and the new FreePBX distro have been the primary focus of engineering efforts now for a long time now. We expect to have a 17 beta tarball of OSS modules ready to share in the next week or two, and expect to have a Debian based distro to follow after that. As has been stated previously, the main things addressed in 17 will be support for upcoming Asterisk macro removal, as well as support for PHP 8 and current versions of other services such as nodejs. When the beta drops, we’ll publ…

Needed test environment for third-party module development – you might find it fun to test, or not:

Is the EDGE tarball working for others?

Still only able to get the GIT ZIPs to work – updated the Ansible Role accordingly, released for testing as v0.23.02-alpha.

Updated v0.23.03-alpha Ansible Role to get Release EDGE tarball working now · chrsmj/pngnx23299 · GitHub by way of:

$ ansible-playbook --become-method=su -k -K -i TARGET, -e freepbx_upstream=edge playbook.yml

Some broken modules but hopefully the role and its step-by-step flow helps others by making it easier to test and therefore submit bugs/fixes.

At which point do you get stuck?

I can download and extract it.

(One) Bug was in UCP module, which the EDGE tarball installs, but after another ‘fwconsole restart’ and online upgrade of UCP to 17.0.4.3 it was okay.

Is the freepbx wiki down?

Wayback FTW: https://web.archive.org/web/20231026112007/https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/How+to+Install+FreePBX+17+on+Debian+12+with+Asterisk+20 (That said, the specific UFW note at the bottom of that “wayback” link kind of defeats most of the point IMO: # ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 80,443)

The FreePBX wiki has moved

We have a plan for the permanent home of the wiki content. For right now, content will remain at help.sangoma.com, but we’re working on restoring content to a new instance of Confluence. Work has already started, but there’s a lot to it, so a bit of patience is required while we step thru the process. I’ll make announcements here as it becomes available.

Looks like most of the FreePBX GitHub move happened. Updated the Ansible Role for a Debian 12 install accordingly in v0.23.28-alpha to now download FreePBX modules as ZIP files from GitHub using release/17.0 tag. Full README here.

TL;DR version (assumes you can SSH to TARGET):

$ wget https://github.com/chrsmj/pngnx23299/archive/refs/tags/v0.23.28-alpha.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf v0.23.28-alpha.tar.gz
$ cd pngnx23299-0.23.28-alpha
$ ansible-playbook --become-method=su -k -K -i TARGET, playbook.yml
