FreePBX Open-source-only option

[devbyaccident]

🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Add support for install flag during install

📝 Detailed description

FreePBX install script has an option for --opensourceonly, which installs it without all of the Sangoma plugins/ads/bloatware.

💡 Why is this useful?

Would be nice to have the option to install freepbx without needing to go through 20 pages of sangoma ads and prompts.

Hi @devbyaccident,

I was implementing this and I saw that the installer fails if you enable this option:

2025-07-24 20:54:31 - freepbx17 installed successfully....
2025-07-24 20:54:31 - Removing commercial modules
2025-07-24 20:54:59 - Installation failed at step Removing commercial modules. Please check log /var/log/pbx/freepbx17-install-2025.07.24-20.44.55.log for details.
2025-07-24 20:54:59 - Error at line: 1188 exiting with code 123 (last command was: xargs -I {} fwconsole ma -f remove {} >> "$log")
2025-07-24 20:54:59 - Exiting script

I'm going to report to freepbx.

Update:
I didn't have to report it, it was already reported.

Hi,
After thoroughly reviewing the freepbx installer, it's still not a good idea to use -opensourceonly as it uninstalls several components such as sysadmin17 or ioncube-loader.
The main problem is that uninstalling sysadmin17 means we can no longer use the freepbx firewall module as it uses dependencies on that module.
Furthermore, uninstalling ioncube-loader means we lose the option to install commercial modules such as sysadmin in the future.
To solve this, I'm creating an update that performs the standard installation and then uninstalls the commercial modules.

@vsc55 That sounds good, thanks!
