As you obviously have little knowledge of CentOS, the better answer here would be to not install on your own instance and to always use the full, distro ISO. It will move up to 7 with FreePBX 14 and you stay in 100% known territory for getting support from people.

• Install Freepbx 14 On Centos 7
• Asterisknow Based Linux Server Centos
• Install Freepbx On Centos 7
• Install Free Pbx On Centos 7 Network
• Install Free Pbx On Centos 7 Installation
• Freepbx Firewall Service Not Running

This role installs Freepbx, Asterisk and all the required mass of packages needed on a CentOS 7.x

Requirements

This module requires Ansible 2.2

Role Variables

See defaults for variables and descriptions

Description

The intention of this role is to take everything here and place it into a role, it will basically take a fresh CentOS 7.XX system and deploy asterisk 14 and the latest Freepbx on the same machine.

To test this locally simple move into the 'tests' folder. Have Vagrant, Virtualbox and Ansible installed. Then type

vagrant up

Once it has done installing and configuring open a web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080 or https://127.0.0.1:4443

Things to be aware of

• No iptables or firewalld configured, this will be an open system. After deploy it will be ready to be configured by the GUI and an IP
• As of 10/09/17 this works fine on a digital ocean Droplet.
• There are a few callouts to scripts in some of the source code, this can be worked around but will need to dissect these scripts and hope the source code doesn't change too much.
• Because much of this is pulling down tarballs and doing configure and make installs, there have been a number of static assumptions made based on the file it creates. This is to prevent 'changed' each time and make the code imutable.

So this is a starting point, my hope is to simplify the install of FreePBX and for people who wish to use it without all the commercial modules but still get the usage of the excellent GUI provided by FreePBX.
