Oh nice, they are using TestFlight for iOS testing. I've used that for testing some apps in the past. Worked decent enough.
It resolves the primary gripe I had about FreePBX with the mobile sip clients and responsive firewall issues.
Now if only it could be multitenant...

Just wanted to share that you can download the mobile iOS/Android beta for FreePBX's Zulu now if you are a user.
This went online Wednesday August 28th
https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/ZU/Zulu+Mobile+InstallationYou can get 2 free licenses for your installation for free. Just getting ready to provision my phone to check it out.
The latest desktop version of Zulu has worked pretty well. There is a Slack/Teams feature that isnt bad, but since you cant invite outsiders to it its probably not going to gain much traction. The whole interface is pretty nice though.
I hope they change the licensing model from the $199 per 20 users per year to something per actual user.
That is only $10/user/year. That is not all the bad.
What price point you after?
Also, I was on their forum today and did not see a notice for this!
The Zulu app on Fedora works okay-ish.
I would like it to be just $10/user/year
Currently if you have 9 users you have to buy 20 and if you have 22 users you have to buy 40. At least that’s the only option in the portal. Increments of 20 and I think 50

Windows to Fedora using RDP is fine,.. it's Fedora to Fedora using Remmina that I get the issue.
Thoughts?
Is this a Type or are you saying that you RDP from a Windows box to a remote Fedora box?
At that time, I was going from Fedora to Fedora
But you are using RDP protocol and not VNC?
Sadly I don't remember currently. And for the moment, I am mainly all Windows again due to some hardware issues. Once things getting settled - oh sometime about 2025 - I will have another go at it.
I was just reading the part where you accessed a Linux PC via RDP from your Windows box, and wanting to make sure I read that right. I am assuming you meant that you accessed a WIndows BOX for Remmina RDP from your Linux box.

@bigbear - Duplicati is a free option for backing up to B2. I have not personally used it with B2 but seems to be very flexible with various storage platforms.
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/duplicati-backups-cloud-storage/
I do use duplicati with B2 for it's target storage. Works great.
What type of file server are you running?
It's NextCloud on my home lab box. So really... nothing. Maybe 500MB worth of things to actually back up.
If you run nextcloud as a premise server can it serve as a bad to thr local network? Or only accessed via sync tool?
You can use it as the only on-premise file server if you want. Everything can access it via webdav now, and you can tie it into any AD or OpenLDAP domains already on site. Just makes end-user life that much easier. If setup properly, it's always accessible via a website anyway. The sync client is really the most painful way to access it, honestly.
Wow my typos....
So you can use it as a NAS/File Server and it does file locking etc like a windows file server?
I haven't specifically tested it's shared file locking, so I won't say for sure myself.
But you use it to map a network drive, correct?
And by file locking I just mean basic "this file is in use by XX user, the basic SMB stuff)
Yes, you map a legacy network drive.
I am debating whether to load up NextCloud or just some CentOS setup for basic file sharing services. I am worried I am going to come back one day and see that he has installed FreeNAS or some other junk. But I cant speak from any personal experience about NextCloud.
Not sure we could rearrange the current gear to do a SAM-SD setup.

@bigbear
It's udev that has a rule with eth0 and the old mac address.
Don't know what distro you're running but try looking in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
Delete the line that has NAME="eth0" in it. And change the line with NAME="eth1" to eth0.
And then you have to swap back eth1 to eth0 in your network settings.
Perfect!

Is your hardware address right? Duplicated MAC address might be an issue?
I ended up deleting everything in eth0, which the system no longer recognizes as "connected" and entered the settings in eth1, saved and restarted network service. Now I am able to edit network settings from system admin and they are immediately reflected in the the network scripts.
Just rebooted and came up perfect!
I think this is an unlikely scenario, restoring snapshots to a different IP address or different vultr account. I am guessing this is what caused the issue.
No on to the FreepPBX 14 updates.
This happens on a number of different distributions that I know of when restoring. The network adapter will pickup the next one in line, eth1 instead of eth0 in your case. I haven't been watching the boards here during the day at the moment, probably could've saved you some headache
I would like to figure out where I could remove/repair the references to eth0 and delete eth1, but I am satisfied that I got it working for now. I believe it was because the hardware ID as @JaredBusch mentioned was in the eth0 profile, and no longer matched the mac address vultr was assigning it under the new account.

So at this point I would assume a clean install of FreePBX 14 with Asterisk 14 is recommended?
I've had better luck with Asterisk 15.
So FreePBX14 with Asterisk 15?
That's what we are using.
Yes, FreePBX 14 with Asterisk 14 is what I have everywhere.
I was thinking this. 14 and 14. Have you used FreePBX14 with asterisk15 in production?
All of my production FreePBX 14 are Asterisk 15.
So now that everything is fixed and the update is complete I see the update software section of System Admin is gone. I had read that they can automatically manage security and updates now. Is that what you are doing, or did you disable it?

Network settings are part of the free SysAdmin module that is active with PBX registration.
Once I bring it online with ifconfig I go to that part of the GUI, it shows the ip address and netmask I give it and no gateway info (it is remotely accessible at this point and works fine). Once I reboot the settings are lost and I have to run ifconfig from the console to bring it back online again.
Bring it up, change the setting. Save. Change the setting again. Save. Reboot.
Kind of grasping a bit here.
If it was truly DHCP, it should see a gateway.
Even after consecutive changes/saves in the GUI it just reverts to the ip/netmask and no gateway. I unlocked the system to try to run updates (the last 3 system updates have failed on this install) and it has hung on phase 1. Trying to get some support on both matters over at FreePBX forums.
BWT is there a way to update from fwconsole that is more reliable in FreePBX13?
The update process is the same. Just in FreePBX 13, there was also a "firmware" step that no longer exists in FreePBX 14.
Does this look like the most recent version of 13?
Current Version 10.13.66-22
Yes.
I Under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ I have both
ifcfg-eth0
ifcfg-eth1
These systems were restored from snapshots on vultr, and it appears that is why they have an eth0 with some old info in them and eth1 with “undefined” in them.
Should I just delete both of these and reboot, then reconfigure? It seems when I restored the snapshot it created eth1 which is the adapter that is losing its setting.
Or would deleting eth0 solve the issue and allow me to configure eth1
Also thinking I could remove UUID from eth0, delete eth1 and fix it up that way.
Any suggestions?

@jaredbusch said in Sangoma Buys Digium:
Interesting to see the financials of Digium. Fiscal 2017 net loss of $4million. Most recent quarter breakeven.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sangoma expects to pay a total purchase price of US$28 million on a debt-free and cash-free basis, subject to customary working capital adjustments. The purchase price consists of US$24.3 million in cash and 3,943,025 Sangoma common shares (representing US$3.7 million based on a ten (10) day volume weighted average price of $1.2214 per common share). Digium generated approximately US$30 million in revenue in its fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, with consolidated assets (net of cash) of approximately US$11 million, no debt and a net loss of approximately US$4 million. Further, for the most recently completed quarter ending June 30, 2018, Digium is operating at about EBITDA breakeven.
Their internal offerings weren't that good, and they don't "make" anything themselves which didn't make a lot of sense.
I though Digium used to make some cards for FXO/FXS.
But yeah in more recent history, their only product has only been Switchvox, and some (I assume) rebranded phones.
Switchvox looked so futuristic about 10 years ago when I was selling Allworx phone systems. Feels like it hasnt been updated at all since then. Have always liked their phones myself but they also need an update. I hope this goes somewhere fruitful.
The biggest thing would be whether they maintain two product lines or merge teams/products. With 3CX upsetting all of their resellers and going direct to customers it is interesting times.

Just noticed this while hanging around on FreePBX support forums this morning...
So I made a full USB installer for Suse Tumbleweed this morning and loaded it up, I am afraid to reboot.
I am hoping its something Fedora is missing the Suse got right...

I guess this is my week to blow up ML with new posts.
So I moved a few ancient remaining customers from my Vultr account to their own, something I have been meaning to do for a year and and half now. The process involved taking a snapshot, requesting vultr to move the snapshot from both accounts and then restoring the snapshot.
Since you lose the IP address this way, we planned a cutover and updated the phones during lunch. Everything went fine except that everytime you reboot FreePBX (for updates etc) it comes online with no ip address.
I assumed this is because I had configured FreePBX for a static IP in System Admin, so I jumped on Putty and ran this from root...
sudo dhclient eth1 -v
And it immediately grabbed its new ip address again. I try to update the network settings in system admin to configuer the static IP, or even to permanently use DHCP, and upon saving it just reverts back to its original setting. So whenever the instance is rebooted it comes back up with no ip stack and I have to run the 'sudo dhclient' again from root to get it working.
This is happening on all 3 customers machines after the migration. I was about to move them to Fusion or Genband but upon reading a little more about FreePBX I thought it would be handy to keep at least one of them on this so I dont fall behind. The updates are honestly my biggest gripe. I think all three of them have errors or are "dorked" in some way with updates. So once I fix the IP Stack issue I am going to start working through cleaning that up and upgrading them to FreePBX 14 with Asterisk 15.
Anyone ever have an issue like this?
