Update fails due to 3CX repository 404 on PBX

[ncrooks]

Hi,

Running apt update fails on a number of our PBXs due to http://downloads-global.3cx.com/downloads/debian.

Full error output:

System is Debian 10 Buster. Is there a fix?

AFAIK you're not supposed to update the OS directly from the OS as the PBX manages 3CX and OS updates via the MGMT Console. You might be quicker doing a backup, reinstall and restore.

Also, it seems you may be running 3CX v16 on a Debian 10 (Buster) machine which is not a supported configuration.

If this is the case, it might indeed be better to take a backup, deploy a Debian 9 machine using our 3CX ISO, and then restore the backup to ensure you have a fully supported deployment. Then, only update 3CX via the Management Console and periodically enable automatic updates (again via MGTM Console) to ensure Debian security updates get installed as well.
