3CX Install from command line

[fgc92210]

I have it in my docs somewhere, but could you guys update the "how to install 3CX on Debian from the command line?
I have to do a proof of concept with failover, and only option to get the binaries is either use 3cx website install to amazon / microsoft / google , or download the ISO for debian, while I am trying to install the 3CX Instances in Digital Ocean droplets. Once again, I have that somewhere in my local wiki.. but while I was doing an upgrade I wanted to do this on the side, and the wiki is on the machine doing the upgrade now.. Just sayin Thank you

In a way we are asked to buy local, to make business with smallest companies, so I'm sorry that smallest companies than Amazon, Azure, Google, DO are defacto excluded of being used just because of removing command line install process.

Perhaps i'm wrong, but my guess is 3CX want to keep all PBXs install on their negociated providers or on their cloud solution instead of anything else saying each time for others , that's an unsupported PBX even if it was done like that, until now, since several years.

I like to continue to host 3CX installations on OVH, as I always have.
Is this still possible because I can no longer find any documentation on how to install 3CX on OVH.

Thx.

3CX isn't excluding anyone. They are simply limiting support to KNOWN environments/configurations. They don't want to troubleshoot non 3CX issues, much like any other software developer. You can still manually install 3CX, so if you can figure that out, then you know enough to do whatever it is you want to do. But the people who couldn't even copy/paste the given commands correctly, who didn't know what sudo was, and who couldn't understand the plain english error messages in front of their faces when installs went wrong shouldn't be touching manual installs and 3CX doesn't want to babysit them. The people who repeatedly post in the forums about trying to install 3CX on XYZ NUC and have a blank screen, or try to install 3CX when they have something like Pi Hole running and they can't understand the error message when 3CX says the web port is already in use are the people who should be following the guidelines.

As far as the small providers, I don't know how small you are going but I don't know that I've actually found one yet that couldn't be installed using a supported method, providing they meet the underlying requirements (KVM, etc). With pretty much any provider you should either be able to upload the ISO or an image or use the Openstack API. If the provider doesn't support one of those methods, it's not so much 3CX excluding a provider as the provider excluding clients that need these types of features. On the flip side if they are small enough and you want to use them, sometimes they can make a change such as making an ISO available for you just by asking.

I tried to deploy 3CX on AWS GovCloud, but seems like 3CX only supports regular AWS. Is there a way to manually deploy on AWS GovCloud with EC2 instance?
