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!

Browser tabs...Fresh reboot, Chrome asking me if I want to re-open my window with 36 tabs. I guess we all have issues

Cradlepoints are top of the line in my opinion. I have used several of them in the past and all work excellent. Might be worth a shot to reach out to your preferred cellular carrier and see what options they have.

We use WordPress, with this amazing theme/add-on!!! https://themeforest.net/item/woffice-intranetextranet-wordpress-theme/11671924

Solution found, human thinking error. Because I was trying to make a bash script take the last octet of an IP address and use it in a config file for naming I was using leading zeros where I shouldn't be. Most modern OS's assume octal is being used when leading zero's are inserted into a number, octal is 0-7 so that is why 8 and 9's weren't working. Also when I did ping 10.0.1.077 the response came back from 10.0.1.63 because 77 in octal equals 63 in decimal. Lesson learned for me trying to overcomplicate things.

I've used Amazon Polly https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ before. It's the easiest lifelike voices that can be directly downloaded without a hassle.

I'm gonna try installing on XCP-ng to see what happens anyway.

Why not use Xen Orchestra Community Edition? Full backup suite included for free.

The environment is all VMware already. XCP-ng and XOCE are in my lab.

I would definitely go with Ubiquiti, and, I feel like the Gen 2 nanobeams would suffice for everything there.

I thought Pertino went End of Life unless you migrated to their NetCloud platform a month or so back? Note, they did have an outage yesterday that could have caused your issues... https://status.cradlepoint.com/

@i3 Have you tried using the secondary 1.0.0.1 server?

Hello all,
Erick from North Carolina, long-time Spiceworks fan and now adding this awesome community to my lurking bookmarks. "IT Director" aka SysAdmin by day, and in the small early stages of my own MSP. Look forward to reading!

Sounds fun, going to have to make this happen.

Awesome, I wrote our XML remote phonebook by hand with the YeaLink template. This is going to be fun!

Having a hard time being productive, making plans on what breweries to hit in town tonight...

Somewhat related, I use f.lux as an addon to my machines. Changes the hue depending on the time of day or can be manually set/scheduled.

This looks interesting. Does it pull in user-specific info from other sources or do they have to manually enter everything in?

Can use the power of wordpress and use LDAP plug-in's etc to get info wherever you see fit, we have it pulling info from AD.

Edit: I am planning my bar route for Spiceworld 2017

Registered myself and my work colleague, looking forward to it and meeting most of you all that are going too!

Running a bash script (from Linux box) to sed some config files on local linux machines. It fails on every machine that has an 8 or 9 in the IP address. I am using leading zeros in the script (example: ping 10.0.1.077), so 10.0.1.077 will work, but 10.0.1.078 will not.
The script pulls the IP list from a text file and the reason for the leading zeros is the last octet is a naming/number convention on the backend for something so it is used as a sed variable later in the script. This works without leading zeros, but I need the leading zeros for my variables. Any insight?

Error message I get when an IP has an 8 or 9: "ssh: Could not resolve hostname 10.0.1.090: Name or service not known"
