Ward,
I have and old deprecated PIAF system and want to get away from running it on the old DELL (with spinning about to die hard drives).
Two choices I figure, 1) Cloud or 2) Solid state, low power, like the Pi 2 + B
I have a Cloud at Cost server (VMWARE 2 CPU, 1 GIG RAM, 20 GIG SSD) and really really struggled to get a PIAF to load up clean on their CENTOS 6.5 64 it OS load. Tried different "colors" - Green, Black, Purple, etc. All I got at the end was tampered modules, modules without signatures, modules that would not update because this and that were missing. After wiping the server off many times I was finally able to get the Incredible PBX 13 to install and it looks pretty clean!
You say Incredible PBX is pure GPL and we can do what we want but two things I have notice so far is a) only the first 10 updates are free (then a nominal $20/yr payable to you) and b) HELP-PBX which I am used to does not exist even though its mentioned in various help docs.
My home IP changes every time I reboot so accessing the PBX in the cloud is a bit of a problem with the IPTABLES lockdown.
So, what version should I be trying to load here - for this cloud??? I want a long term supported solutions as getting deprecated is a PITA. I really am also having trouble following the NERD VITTLES posting path. Sorry.
I think I might rather bring the box back inhouse, so thinking the Pi is the route to go. Can I put Raspbian and Incredible 13 on this for LTS? Does this then also request the $20/yr?
Application for me is lite home/small biz/hobbyist. <10 ext <5 trunks, remote access via Zoiper and remote ATA's off site (with IP's that change)
Thanks for pointing me in the straight path...
