freepbx-16.0-latest.tgz STALE so git clone to /opt/iiab/freepbx

[holta]

Following the suggestion at #3228 (comment), this should resolve:

• freepbx-16.0-latest.tgz is NOT really the latest (has not been updated since Sept 2021) so it does not yet support Asterisk 19. Is another FreePBX download URL possible? #3228

Also cleans up roles/pbx

Tested on Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS (x86_64 VM).

While cloning from https://github.com/FreePBX/framework direct to /opt/iiab/freepbx works really well — it also means that the ~15 additional "default" FreePBX modules are no longer included upfront — i.e. they're now "missing" from this list:

# fwconsole ma list
No repos specified, using: [standard] from last GUI settings

+-----------+-----------+---------+---------+-----------+
| Module    | Version   | Status  | License | Signature |
+-----------+-----------+---------+---------+-----------+
| builtin   |           | Enabled |         | Unsigned  |
| framework | 16.0.21.1 | Enabled | GPLv2+  | Unsigned  |
+-----------+-----------+---------+---------+-----------+

Ron Raikes shows (one way to) to auto-install his choice of 28 additional FreePBX modules: (out of ~70 available in total)

fwconsole ma downloadinstall framework
fwconsole reload
fwconsole ma downloadinstall cdr conferences customappsreg dashboard featurecodeadmin infoservices music pm2 sipsettings voicemail
fwconsole ma downloadinstall announcement asteriskinfo blacklist callforward callrecording callwaiting configedit disa \
donotdisturb findmefollow hotelwakeup iaxsettings miscapps miscdests outroutemsg parking ringgroups superfecta

Should we consider something like that, but far more minimally? Here are the 16 FreePBX modules (framework + 15 others) that were included by default as of 2021-08-07:

callrecording
cdr
conferences
core
customappsreg
dashboard
featurecodeadmin
framework
infoservices
logfiles
music
pm2
recordings
sipsettings
soundlang
voicemail

Looks good: tests well on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on x86_64.

FYI to reconfirm the good news...

This error msg that we repeatedly struggled with in August 2021...does NOT appear in the output of journalctl -u freepbx :

"Unable to run Pre-Asterisk hooks, because Asterisk is already running"

Also tested successfully on Debian 11 on x86_64.

In the end 18 FreePBX modules end up installed:

(9 months ago this was builtin + just 16 modules — the 2 new modules backup and filestore would appear to be auto-installed dependencies)
