If you manage to have the VM instance up and running I recommend making Snapshot. I had issue updating the FreePBX system from the web interface. I recommend logging into your system via SSH and run the update from there.
I followed the tutorial to install freepbx-distro on google cloud via bucket-- > image—> instance— method. I successfully got the console of server but I’m unable to ssh the server. I’ll be thankful if anyone guides me . thanks.
Thanks Moussa, I already have project ID on GCP and uploaded VHD file on GCP so I can’t use commands to install SDK. Uploading of vhd file to bucket already took many hours.
When i used another method for ssh@server using console port 1 ( i set start-script and in value i put required fields ) but on window machine gets stuck with following details .
serialport: Connected to micro-primer-219913.us-east1-b.freepbxdistro port 1 (session ID: 81ed0760e400310d3d3ee17617cedad56366fbb7, active connections: 1).

Booting from Hard Disk 0…
I created freepbx virtual machine disk (VHD) on VirtualBox of size 10 GB, removed printer,usb …
Then I uploaded vhd file to Bucket GCP and imported file for image and created instance using the same image on GCP. then i was able to login console of freepbx on browser using its public IP address. but ssh to server machine failed .
that 's all .
Before I tried to use cloudendure but failed to install agent on local machine … that’s why i used above method .
OK, so you are able to get the FreePBX up and running.
The SSH might have failed due to the FreePBX’s Firewall (under Connectivity). If you disable the firewall and intrusion detection (under System Admin) you will see many trying to access your system.
Did you try the login using the gcloud sdk? This will be the safest.
Otherwise, in GCP, VPC Network >> Firewall rules >> Edit HTTP, HTTPS and SSH access to your own IP.
Try accessing the to login console of freepbx on browser using its public IP address and see if it work. If so, then disable the FreePBX’s Firewall and try SSH.
yes, freepbx is up and running and on browser it is accessible (Freepbx GUI is OK) .
Now I disabled Intrusion detection system and firewall is already disabled. no luck to ssh the server (CLI) .
There is no firewall issue , I checked even in VPC i already added rule to allow all port and ips and taged that name inside the server after editing .
now i tried SDK it says
HTTPS error NOT found .
It is pertinent to mention i’m not using domain name . I’m using public ip .
very disappointed as i spent many hours for this work .
i have network with bridged setting. i already have taken care of it.
I also followed the link to install sdk on local server but no success .
I followed the steps to download and install freepbx distro using the above same links.
nothing i can do but to get support unfortunately.
Hi Moussa ,
I would like to discuss with you that I don’t know how to download error file ( cloudendure.bin) from cloud to my machine in order to contact GCP team.
I want to try once more time and would like you to please give me some of your moments.
I’ll make new virtualbox machine (call it freepbx-distro) with settings
type: linux , version: other linux 64 bit , memory : 1024 MB , create virtual hard disk now : CREATE ( clicked create button) , VDI : next , dynamic allocated : yes , size = 20 GB , create ( entered) , select disk for boot (freepbx iso) , network : bridged ( hyper-v virtual ethernet adapter #2 is default but there are also other things in drop down list of bridged) , disabled audio & USB controller and serial port (com which is already disabled.) .
Ive currently done above steps If I’m wrong please do the correction . thanks.
That image (1.8 GB of ubuntu ) worked and i was successful to install agent and migrate to CloudEndure from local running machine. I was also launched target machine and it is running on GCP cloud and ssh to freepbx server is OK .
Now problem is only that I’m unable to access the dashboard on browser using its public address whatsoever it has . I configured rule on VPC (tag) and applied that tag in sever network tag settings. I also turned off firewall in my host system as well as on GCP freepbx server ( via command : service ufw stop) . I don’t know where is problem , why i can’t get the console on browser . thanks.
First, do snapshot for your server. This should take 1-2 minutes.
I thought that the iso was for the distro image. If so, try sudo yum update.
Hope things work fine. Then try reboot
After restart, go to your VM instance >> EDIT >> under Firewalls, check ︎Allow HTTP traffic and ︎Allow HTTPS traffic. (Make sure that these rules are active in VPC.)
Save changes
Go back to your VM list, copy the external IP and see if it works
I think so but not confirmed about the distro image. this machine is ubuntu/redhat yum update can’t work. I’m surprised regarding linux flavor. I checked firewall rule allowed already http/s traffic . however i update it via apt-get install update command and rebooted machine but no luck .
︎Allow HTTP traffic and
