Installing VitalPBX from ISO
-
I don't like the admin account username hardcoded as admin.

As soon as you sign in with your admin account they show a big scary warning that you are required to activate the system with them. But reading closely, it says to update from the GUI. You are able to click X and close without registering.

@JaredBusch You plan on testing multi-tenancy?

No. Asterisk is not designed for it.
I would never seriously do multi-tenancy on an asterisk system.
From the way this product reads, they get around things by using a prefix that is “hidden” from normal view.

How do you think they (Vital) are pulling it off?

But if the underlying o/s is not designed for such how "would" they make it work?
Educate me please, why is Asterisk not designed for multi-tenancy? -

Educate me please, why is Asterisk not designed for multi-tenancy?It gets into how calling is handled. In a multi-tenant scenario you want many people with extension 100 (made up)
Asterisk cannot have that. So they prefix all the extensions.
But then things like BLF suddenly get harder. Hints are tied to the actual status of the device as it exists in the Asterisk DB, which would not be 100. It would be prefix100. So now you have to also handle that.
This gets extremely complicated very quickly.
It can be made to work like this. It is not the design for how the system should be used.
FreeSwitch (what FusionPBX uses) was forked/split from Asterisk specifically because of this, among other perceived issues.
I would need to hit google to find old references on this.
This is a really good article about the differences.
