vicibox 6 or 7 as stability

Postby bghayad » Sun Feb 28, 2016 6:04 pm

Hello;

I tried vicibox 7 and it is using opesuse leap 42.1, I noticed that rarely to find posts in google when you face a problem and the vicibox 7 it is not supporting https.
Anyway, I would like to hear the advise if to use version 7 or 6 if we are talking about stability (stability as vicidial and stability as OS).
From the other side: if I need to use vicibox version 6, how can I know the most stable version in vicibox 6 and it is important to support https.

Regards
Bilal

You can set-up HTTPS in vicibox 7. You just need an SSL certificate and reconfigure apache. It's just not set-up for you out of the box. Plus without a real SSL certificate it will just give you errors unless you add exceptions to everyone's browser.

OpenSuSE 13.1 is 3 years old. OpenSuSE Leap is 6 months old. So comparing stability by the number of random posts you can find in google about it isn't a good method. By that method Windows 95 is the most stable operating system ever.

Code: Select all
gensslcert -n VICIDIAL.YOURDOMAIN.com


Don't give it any password/phrases/codes. Leave it blank.

After that you'll have a self-signed certificate, which most browsers will let you use AFTER warning you loudly that the connection is not secure.

You don't "need" to own a domain for this, but it's recommended that you point VICIDIAL.YOURDOMAIN.com to this server in DNS (it will still work if you just use the IP address after doing this).

But users will have to add an exception to their browsers to avoid getting the warning every time.
