What's the best way to migrate to FreePBX 14?
-
@scottalanmiller I noticed that recommendation. I was curious to know if you also pushed the envelope with the new version of Asterisk.

@eddiejennings Doing what isn't recommended, isn't recommended

No - But it is a great way to learn the limitations of any system / device. Knowing how it will fail -

I tried it and had a problem, decided not to push my lock in production

Completely untrue.
Do what is unrecommended is only for the educated.
If not one did the unrecommended, it would never become tested, vetted, and recommended.

Seems like the beta warning has been removed. OK to use?
Anyone does this? Any feedback?

As always backups are your friend.
-
@jaredbusch I will have a backup as well as a snapshot
-
Any of you all do this on a VPS provider? I just took a snapshot and plan to try on Rackspace here shortly.
-
@smitherick I do. But, why rackspace?

Yep, on Vultr.

Don’t. They are okay but not nearly as good as Vultr. We are just finishing moving all workloads over from them. They were great years ago. But today they are not competitive. Vultr beats the pants off of them.

My company PBX was on 13, I did the upgrade to 14, and it is on Vultr.
-
Yeah, our entire other workload is on Vultr, the PBX is the last thing standing at Rackspace and it kills me every time I approve the invoice. I'll have to dig up that tool where you can migrate from another system to a new system.

Just backup and restore the PBX settings. Don't do V2V.

@scottalanmiller I was going to use this.. https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/PPS/Elastix+and+PBXinaFlash+to+FreePBX+Distro+Conversion+Tool
I thought the backup and restore had to be on the same version to be functional? -

Thy tool migrates settings from an old install to a new one.
I used to try an Elastixs to FreePBX 13 conversions and it sucked.
Might be decent from FreePBX to FreePBX though. Less custom shot to fuck up the new install.

Just following up, everything migrated fine. Went from Rackspace FPBX 13 Backup to Vultr FPBX 13 Restore, Vultr 13 -> 14 Upgrade. Besides a corrupt MySQL DB on the Rackspace box giving me issues, everything went flawlessly. Nuked the bad tables in the DB with help from my SIP provider and we are live on the new. Thanks, guys!
