ALERT Buh-bye CentOS.

@Eliad: Just did a successful install at Vultr in exactly 20 minutes at a cost of a penny. If you don't have a Vultr account, there's a signup link on the Wiki that includes a $100 credit. There are many other tested platforms starting at under $1 a month. If, for no other reason, a Vultr account will let you benchmark results there with your other platforms without wasting a lot of time (yours and others). I suspect the Proxmox issue has to do with lousy repos. CloudAtCost has similar problems... often. We gave up on Proxmox a very long time ago. I'd recommend you do the same.

still no luck with the ipbx2021 debian installer.
this is the install log

I would love to do a cloud platform but this is a medical office and there are some possible complications with HIPPA if I use the cloud version. Vultr was willing to work with me on HIPPA compliance but I am such a small fish and it is so much work I did not want to put them through this for $5 a month, they are good guys and I respect their time.
I use this for my own office and a friend of mine a doctor too. I will keep trying different permutations and report if I found one that work. I tempted to think for Proxmox I need to do the update and upgrade of the Debian. I will try this again, on my friend office it worked after doing that but maybe it was a lucky fluke.

 

[wardmundy]

If you do apt upgrade and it's doesn't upgrade anything as you noted above, you're wasting your time. I don't think you're going to find anyone here that wants to debug Proxmox quirks by wading through your log when we already know where the problem lies. Sorry.

 

[kenn10]

Why don't you install something more mainstream like VirtualBox and run a Debian container in that. It works flawlessly on Windows and Linux hosts.

Your Proxmox clearly failed downloading a variety of packages. Asterisk cannot compile. ./configure cannot run so menuselect cannot run. This pretty clearly won't work on your Proxmox. That is the clearest "help" you're going to get. Perhaps some Proxmox guru will have suggestions.

I will keep experimenting, I will try Ubuntu version for the ipbx2021

Proxmox is not the issue here. In fact I've just finished installing IncrediblePBX2021 debian in it without any issues.
I believe what you are facing are networking issues so try to change your debian mirror to ftp.debian.org and try again.
I'm here if you need any help although I'm far from being a Proxmox expert
Good luck

thank you. i do like Proxmox, i have it set up in HA configuration, has nice backup server now, I would like to stick with it.
I will try different permutations and see if I get it working. I will post the results.

Any known issues with Debian 10.8?

Any known issues with Debian 10.8?

If you use Proxmox current install script for Debian does not work (the older install script worked fine). I just did a successful install in Proxmox using a Ubuntu 10.04.
@wardmundy, with the demise of Centos7, which Linux flavor you think will be the one to stay and be regularly maintained by ibpx, Debian or Ubuntu?

 

[kenn10]

Any known issues with Debian 10.8?

None so far. I've been on it for awhile now. I did the apt upgrade on a working Debian 10.7 with no issues to IncrediblePBX 2021. This is on normal VPS systems, not Proxmox.

 

[smccloud]

Given what @wardmundy said about just copying everything across. Is there any way to copy voicemails from an IncrediblePBX 2020 system to an IncrediblePBX 2021 system?

 

[kenn10]

They're both FreePBX 15 systems. Just make sure the modules are completely current on both systems then use the FreePBX backup/restore to bring the mailboxes over. Your FreePBX extensions, trunks, voicemail, etc., all copy over.

If you use Incrediblebackup/restore from CentOS to Debian, you will hose your system.

I can confirm that the install does not work on Debian

where did you try the Debian install? Mine failed in a Proxmox VM and also on CT. I was told this is a Proxmox issue, I am not sure this is correct. The older Debian incrediblepbx install script worked fine. While running the newer install script at one point there is an error stating untar of one file did not work, maybe this is the problem. This is way, way above my head.
I am no expert by any means but I figure if I install Debian from an iso in a VM there is not much Proxmox interference. If i use a Proxmox Debian template to install in a CT I can see it could be a problem.
Anyhow, in Proxmox a successful Ubuntu install starts with a VM, install Ubuntu from 10.04 iso then from a SSH connection (not the proxmox console) start incrediblepbx install script. This seems to work fine

Argh, stupid number lock got turned off. Meant Debian 10.8. Install failed

 

[kenn10]

What were you installing it on? VPS company? Bare metal? Proxmox? Virtualbox? A little detail is helpful rather than just "install failed."

Proxmox, fresh 10.8 install.

 

[kenn10]

That was exactly what @Eliad tried to advise you. It was already made clear that Proxmox is not supported by IncrediblePBX due to quirks in Proxmox.
