If you do this, and then then dial 71 (don't use a BLF), what does the log show?

The MySQL issue and the Call park issue should be totally unrelated.

Maybe it's coincidence, but as soon as I restarted mariadb, dialing 71 and the BLF both pick up the parked extension perfectly fine again.

@jaredbusch said in FreePBX Parking and Web Interface not working:

On FreePBX 14 and newer: systemctl start mysql

systemctl start mariadb at least stopped the notification every 30 seconds, not sure what is causing it though, I'll dig through some log files.

@jaredbusch said in FreePBX Parking and Web Interface not working:

You can monitor this from the CLI (asterisk -rvvvvv) if the PBX is not very busy. If it is busy, you will want to grep the log file for the call.

@jaredbusch Sorry, I misinterpreted the problem. If I manually transfer to 70, it says "call parked on 71", the BLF lights up for 71, then when I actually hit the button for 71, or dial 71, the freepbx lady tells me that "there is no call on this extension"

@jaredbusch said in FreePBX Parking and Web Interface not working:

How are you handling call parking?

Transfer to parking lot extension 70, which does actually work, but the BLFs don't light up on the phones showing that there is a parked call on the extension, so my users don't know that it's actually parked. On our phones there is a park button which transfers to 70, then we have 4 BLF for ext. 71-74 to indicate that there is a call on that extension.

Edit: actually it parks the call, and the BLF DOES work, but when they hit the button for ext 71, it says "there is no call on this extension" or something like that.

Every few days I get in and my users report that they're not able to park and retrieve calls. Whenever this happens I get the following screen when I try to log into the web interface.

I also almost always have a cron error on my dashboard even when things seem to be working fine. I've done a little searching and I haven't come up with anything for that either. Once I'm able to reboot (20 min or so) I will post the cron error.

Edit: This is self hosted and the interface is not public facing.

@dustinb3403 Ah, gotcha, I didn't know if there were other aspects to managing the array that I wasn't aware of. If it's really only when a drive dies that's not too bad. I've been thinking about getting some refurb hardware for home and would love to skip the expensive hardware RAID cards.

What are you going to run on it? KVM?

Yes, KVM

Software RAID is used and recommended all of the time for people and orgs that can maintain it.

What type of maintenance is required for real software RAID?

Also, you can definitely migrate to dissimilar hardware models... Scroll about half way down

You will lose some settings, but the data should remain intact.

Edit: Looks like the source and destination machines would need to be on the same firmware version... which could be tricky if you don't know or didn't keep up with the updates.

Looks like they have a means to copy from the drives directly connected to a machine running Ubuntu

@Sid Yes, the following should do it. I would start with Ubuntu 17.10 though. I'm testing it out right now, about 3/4 of the way done. I'll let you know if there are any snags.

sudo bash
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh | bash

@scottalanmiller said in Trouble converting an OVF to VMDK using MVMC...:

Oh, is this an older UTM that they aren't supporting any longer? Do they have a current version?

Looks like this is an appliance that does logging/reporting for the physical UTM?

@scottalanmiller said in Visual Resumes?:

OMG I want to do that. Make hilarious placemats of my face for no reason. Have random info about me. And pay diners to use them as placemats.

Ad space with the local real estate guys face right under where your glass goes. That's totally what this resume is

The infographic one looks like a placemat for a restaurant or something crazy... "Yep, here's my resume on a 24"x36" print for you"

So I snagged a Vultr 500GB SATA storage instance a while back and I've been using their prebuilt Nextcloud installer, which seems to have problems of it's own. I've been semi scared of letting it go, because storage instances seem impossible to get for the past few months, but I really don't NEED the 500GB of disk space.

I've been thinking of using Docker Compose to setup a multi-tennant install of NextCloud. Does this sound feasible? And will 2 instances even run decently on 2GB memory?

@scottalanmiller Even more though, 4GB installed equals 2GB usable, so 8GB must equal 4GB? lmao

@scottalanmiller oh boy... wow. just wow.
