3CX Version: 16.0.9
Server: Debian 9 Hosted by a 3CX provider

I want to move my RasPi 4 SBCs so they from 2.5" SSDs instead of SD cards to (potentially at least) offer a better drive lifespan.
I settled on Ubuntu v21.10 as it's one of the few flavors of Linux available for Raspberry Pi, and this release supports SSD booting without having to do any additional work.
However, when I ran:
wget https://downloads-global.3cx.com/downloads/sbc/3cxsbc.zip -O- | sudo bash
I got the following error:
main: line 215: [: -ge: unary operator expected
error: Unsupported Debian version
If Ubuntu v21.10 is not supported, can anyone suggest another RasPi OS that is supported and will boot to SSD?

Thanks!
 
3CX SBC is ONLY Supported on:
Windows
Debian 9
Debian 10
Raspian

Sorry but I do not see Ubuntu on that list anywhere, and yes we all know Ubuntu is based on Debian, but Based on, and Equal to, are very very different things, I actually develop on Debian for other applications and Debian is immensely different than the pile of dukey that comes out of the Ubuntu Team. They dumb it down for basic users, and make it user friendly, and also chop out a lot of stuff more advanced people and programs need, and modify the skittles out of it along the way to fit their own mind set and preferences.

Go back to Raspian or Debian if you want it to work Reliably, or even just work at all.

EVEN IF you somehow manage to get it working in Ubuntu:
  1. It probably won't work reliably.
  2. It is 5000 miles outside of supportable by 3CX Support Staff.
  3. As SBC updates come out that depend on Debian packages, it will likely break down and need you to fix it.
  4. Ubuntu updates that comes out are also likely to cause more break downs that you will need to fix.

Raspbian worked perfectly, thanks
