No need to waste your time, until FreePBX 17 officially supports Asterisk 21.

Which you can monitor/confirm instantly here:

The BETA of FreePBX 17 was released Dec 6 for PHP 8.2

So it's (possible!?) that if you configure your /etc/iiab/local_vars.yml correctly to install FreePBX 17 instead of 16 — this just might now work on modern OS's — similar to Debian 12 Bookworm:

https://freepbx.org/freepbx-17-beta-release-and-debian-future/

As an experiment, if you want to try this, set both lines below in your /etc/iiab/local_vars.yml file:

asterisk_src_file: asterisk-21-current.tar.gz
freepbx_git_branch: release/17.0

And keep an eye on their latest changes here:

Just like RonR (link above! very helpful guy!) I on Debian 12 and @EMG70 on Ubuntu 24.04 pre-release (https://sprunge.us/HXeeYb?en) got the same mysterious return code / exit status 1 right after it announced "You have successfully installed FreePBX" :

And perhaps similar to RonR's fwconsole reload failing, mine also failed, but in a somewhat different way;

root@box:~# fwconsole reload
Reload Started

In DialplanHooks.class.php line 157:

  Undefined variable $funclist

I on Debian 12 and @EMG70 on Ubuntu 24.04 pre-release

Possibly we need to wait a few more weeks until FreePBX 17 stabilizes? FWIW my Debian 12 VM shows:

root@box:~# node -v

Just FYI I and @EMG70 both used the same pbx.yml cloud-init scripts to try to install Asterisk 21 and FreePBX 17 BETA onto IIAB:

runcmd:
  - mkdir -p /etc/iiab
  - |

I ran it on Debian 12 using:

multipass launch https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/bookworm/daily/latest/debian-12-generic-amd64-daily.qcow2 -n deb12 -c 2 -m 2G -d 20G --cloud-init pbx.yml --bridged

He ran it on Ubuntu 24.04 (pre-release) using:

multipass launch 24.04 -c 2 -m 2G -d 20G -n freepbx --cloud-init pbx.yml --bridged

…'fwconsole reload'

holta · 2024-02-25T22:21:14Z

While ugly, this appears to work installing onto Debian 12 Bookworm (x86_64).

FWIW the 18+1 FreePBX modules appear to be unchanged (so far!?) as compared to 21 months ago...

This PR is an ugly hack, but FYI it works — e.g. not just on Debian 12 (http://sprunge.us/GYH536?en) but it also currently works to install Asterisk 21.1.0 and FreePBX 17.0.15.2 onto Ubuntu 24.04 with PHP 8.3:

@EMG70 now that this is merged, can you also test Raspberry Pi OS "Bookworm" — to see if Asterisk 21 and FreePBX 17 might possibly also work on Raspberry Pi too?
