Get Asterisk/FreePBX working on RPi too!

[holta]

Ideally Asterisk/FreePBX should world on $35 Raspberry Pi's not just pricier NUC's.

If so, this could build directly on @m-anish's roles/pbx playbook from PR #1405 ?
And/or use http://raspberry-asterisk.org alongside?

(Debian 9.7 and Debian 10 support might also be considered in future...)

[m-anish]

Yep. This would be great to have! Would like to point out that while they will push the available resources on a Pi, it should be possible to run them atleast for small installations without problems.

@m-anish got PR #1478 [*] to compile/install on Raspbian Lite on RPi 3 B+

Amazing!

(Let's declare "experimental support" here and recommend everyone who can test this...)

[*] not the final word, as "./runrole pbx" fails on repeat runs on BIG-sized...certainly on Ubuntu 18.04 [see #1493]

[holta]

@m-anish what further testing should we encourage on RPi 3 & RPi 3 B+ ?

FYI our initial/experimental RPi support for Asterisk/FreePBX is now documented/updated in:

• the table at http://FAQ.IIAB.IO Item 9 ("What services (IIAB apps) are suggested during installation?")
• default_vars.yml and {MIN, MEDIUM, BIG} local_vars.yml, per PR Clarify that Asterisk/FreePBX (appear to!) work on Raspbian/RPi -- in defaults_vars.yml & 3 local_vars files #1494
• roles/pbx/README.rst, per PR Docs: pbx/README.rst, tasks/asterisk.yml, tasks/freepbx.yml, minetest/README.rst #1491

[holta]

Done! Still needs work of course, as outlined @ #1493 (comment)
