Asterisk 16 is now available to be switched to in FreePBX 14.

FreePBX 15 is in beta alpha still, apparently.

[JaredBusch]

It is super hard to switch versions too..

Switch to root if not logged in that way

sudo su -

Then fire off the command.

Microsoft has revealed that some users of its Office 365 and Azure clouds may have been unable to access the services since late Monday afternoon, Australian time.
The outage only impacts users who choose to sign in using multi-factor authentication and has hit the company's Europe, Asia-Pacific and Americas regions.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/11/19/azure_down/
While Azure's support orifices continue to maintain a dignified silence on the issues, the Azure status page has had an update: "Engineers have explored mitigating a back-end service via deploying a code hotfix, and this is currently being validated in a staging environment to verify before potential roll-out to production."
 
Final update
Azure is back on its feet, while Office 364 is still borked for multi-factor auth.

Deeper integration with Nextcloud, this does sound good...

I don't think I have ever seen clear OnlyOffice pricing.

No, that was my brain and fingers not coordinating with each other. Fixed post.

It's free under the AGPL.

Desktop apps are free, too.

just to be clear, this is basically an open source cloud version of office, at least in function? If this is the case, and it is integrated into NC, would it only be the web based view of NC?

OnlyOffice has desktop and mobile clients, as well.

If you use Windows, OnlyOffice is handled by Chocolatey. If you are on Linux, you can use Snaps or AppImage, or RPM, or Deb.

Chocolatey looks like linux style app store for windows. Is that about right?

That's correct. It is the primary Windows package manager. It's the official one promoted by Microsoft, it is used by them for some official Windows packages, and it is now officially being integrated into the OS.

As far as I can tell, onlyoffice on NC basically gives you google drive and google apps...

No where in there do I see free, other than their 30 day trial.

Those I knew were free. I do not use it because of this.
