Upgrading the FreePBX firmware

JaredBusch

Note, one of the steps of this process will run a yum update, but as new firmware here comes out slower than updates to various modules, I do not rely on this process to perform those.

I just setup a new FreePBX 13 install on Vultr and it start on firmware version 17.

After running the upgrade to 18 the Process Management module was installed and all other modules were upgraded.

There were a large number of modules in error prior to running this upgrade on the new install.

@JaredBusch do you have to reboot between updates?

I am using System Admin to do updates, and it doing them one after another, without a reboot.

Do you have to reboot? No.

I reboot, because I want all things applied. including the system being booted to an updated kernel from the yum update that it does.

@JaredBusch, are you running the new distro from Sangoma yet?

We are running it in production, have been since release day. We actually had the final Release Candidate in production, we were that anxious.

@scottalanmiller Scott, I don't see an upgrade option through my SysAdmin page. Did you upgrade via CLI?

Upgrade from what? The RC just updated on its own.

@scottalanmiller I assume @WLS-ITGuy means from FreePBX 13

They don't have a script yet to go from 13 to 14.

We didn't upgrade from 13, we did a clean slate build.

So was this for a new install, or for a previous customer? If previous, how did you migrate all of your settings over?

We did it on beta, so it was for internal. Wouldn't do that to outside customers.

PBX are really easy to migrate by hand, no need to bring cruft over. IF you have hundreds of users and complex IVRs, yeah that can be a pain. For a typical SMB, how long does a manual migration take, an hour? And if you are cleaning up craft as you go, pruning extensions, it can be a break even on time.

Bullshit. Again you have no perspective.

An hour to migrate an entire PBX? Voicemail passwords? Extensions and secrets?

Bull fucking shit.
