TIPS IncrediblePBX 15 for Wazo on CloudatCost

[undrhil]

I have followed the instructions for installing Wazo VM on CloudatCost from here: http://nerdvittles.com/?page_id=18295

For the last step, I went back to the original article and followed on at
2. Running the Incredible PBX for Wazo Installer because the link for installing IncrediblePBX on the Wazo VM article is for IncrediblePBX 14.

Regardless of which one I try, I get the same results: The installer tells me that it wants to be installed on Debian 8 ("jessie") but my system is running Debian 9. I am not sure why or at what point the system is upgraded to Debian 9 though.

Any ideas?

OK, I have rolled up two more systems to test this on. For both systems, I selected to create a "Debian-8-64bit" machine. Once the machine is up and running, I run "cat /etc/*-release" and it says I am running Debian 8 (jessie). Once I follow the "Install Wazo in the cloud" tutorial and run "cat /etc/*-release" it says I am running Debian 9 (stretch). Is there a way to not have your script upgrade the system to Debian 9?

No help?

Hello, you need to use debian 8 with wazo, but we'll switch to debian 9 at the end of this year. I don't nkow why you are with debian 9 except your sources.list using stable instead jessie.

 

[undrhil]

So, that would mean that the script should set the sources.list to use jessie, correct?

Or has Wazo moved up to Debian 9 now?

Hello, yes wazo 18.01 has been upgraded to debian 9.

The CloudatCost crew have an "interesting" methodology for their ESXi deplyments (anybody remember WIkus?).
The culprit is in /etc/apt/sources.list. I add comment #s to all but the second line, and change "stable" to "jessie."

ORIGINAL: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

# deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
# deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
# deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

There is also a sneaky way to load ISOs from GRUB through the Cloud@Cost panel's console (the netboot.xyz.lkrn method doesn't work for me anymore).

wget your ISO to /boot. Note: the /boot drive is ~236MB, so if you want to load a bigger ISO you'll need to mess with the partitions and repeat this process from the new OS and its bigger /boot partition.

Press c from the Grub loader screen to get to: *(taken from "https://archive.is/O9QN0#selection-435.0-467.10")
grub>
At this prompt, type the following;

grub> loopback loop (hd0,1)/mini.iso
grub> linux (loop)/linux
grub> initrd (loop)/initrd.gz
grub> boot
