Our first two Incredible PBX VirtualBox images based on Ubuntu 14 are now available on SourceForge. These will run on any Linux, Mac, or Windows computer running Oracle's VirtualBox. The only difference in the two images is your choice of FreePBX 2.11 or FreePBX 12.
Previous Nerd Vittles tutorial may be helpful if you haven't used VirtualBox before. Feature set of Incredible PBX with Ubuntu is virtually identical to CuBox-i so read that tutorial for details. Same locked down security whitelist methodology with PortKnocker and TM4 as the other new Incredible PBX builds.
Step #1: Download and Install VirtualBox for your desktop operating system. It's free!
Step #2: Download image from SourceForge (FreePBX 2.11 and FreePBX 12 versions available)
Step #3: Double-click on the .ova file you downloaded to begin the install procedure and load VirtualBox. When prompted, be sure to check the Reinitialize the Mac address of all network cards box. Read and accept the license agreement. Then click the Import button. Once the import is finished, you’ll see a new IncrediblePBX11 virtual machine in your VM List on the VirtualBox Manager Window. Import takes about 2 minutes.
Step #4: You need to make a couple of one-time adjustments to the Incredible PBX Virtual Machine configuration to account for differences in sound and network cards on different host machines. Click on Incredible PBX Virtual Machine in the VM List. Then click Settings -> Audio and check the Enable Audio option and choose your sound card. Save your setup by clicking the OK button. Next click Settings -> Network. For Adapter 1, check the Enable Network Adapter option. From the Attached to pull-down menu, choose Bridged Adapter. Then select your network card from the Name list. Then click OK to save your setup. Finally, click Settings -> System, uncheck Hardware clock in UTC time, and click OK. That’s all the configuration that is necessary for Incredible PBX Virtual Machine. If you blinked, you probably missed it.
Step #5: Now double-click on the Incredible PBX VM and click Start. Username: root Default Password: password
Log in as root and let the setup procedure complete. After reboot, log in again to finish setup. Then...
In the /root folder, do the following:
1. Change root password: passwd
2. Change FreePBX admin password: ./admin-pw-change
3. Set time zone: ./timezone-setup
4. Run fax installer, if desired
5. Set AvantFax password
