Yes, David. I definitely would like to collaborate and not trying to push my principles to anyone else forcefully. there is a reason I am trying to avoid git and nothing to do it with any hosting services. I will try to use sourceforge for my mainstream work and then will sync it with github so it meets my principles and at the same time in-line with astlinux-project and other projects that I am trying to base upon and work closely.

I did go that way and was able to build it very quickly but my conscience was keep on asking me to stick with astlinux-project because this project is the one through which I have seen buildroot and every documentation of yours has helped me to learn more about building a minimal linux system from scratch. so I started migrating astlinux-project on the latest stable buildroot 2019.02.11 and in the plans to merge another project motioneyeos to make it a complete suite for the home. astlinux-project also has to upgrade at somepoint to the latest buildroot to make it extensible and have more people use it in future. I am planning to upload the repository to sourceforge.net<https://eur05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ca65ffce168b64fac00ad08d80ce99f53%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637273544822194588&sdata=4CkbfXdt5yMzD8qm0zwDb7EhMAkSHyeYp7T1M%2BuwKpU%3D&reserved=0> since it is the pioneer of source code repository. And whatever you do do not upgrade the kernel to v4. that is my personal suggestion but I cannot share any more further details why. Please let know if I am violating any rules of the project and I will gladly correct them.

So not trying to reinvent the wheel with great respect to astlinux-project but at the same time trying to get my vision done.

Would like to give a heads up. I had to downgrade from Debian 10 to Debian 8. Hence I will not be able to port astlinux-project to buildroot 2019.02.11. Not sure if my project will be of interest for anyone with this but I am trying to keep up with astlinux-project with the old stack of crosstools 1.20 with buildroot 2014.02 on which I am porting astlinux-project and motioneyeos. I am still looking for some help if anyone can. Please let know if anyone has any concerns if there is a conflict of interest.

Hi All, Thanks for your valuable feedback. I have two principles that I am trying to adhere to it. * My first principle is I will use the software that pioneered rather than the software that came later for convenience. I feel that pioneer should always be a pioneer and anyone or anything that is replacing a pioneer is like a father bringing a newer mother for his and your convenience when you have an existing mother who has given birth to you. * Apply the above principle no matter what. That was the reason I am trying to stick with astlinux-project because this project is the one that has given me the idea behind my project. So not trying to reinvent the wheel with great respect to astlinux-project but at the same time trying to get my vision done. I am facing several challenges to backport the newer packages to astlinux-project and one of the reasons is my expertise is not in embedded devices programming even though I am a software developer. I am learning the things slowly but need to get this done asap within this month. I am trying to use astlinux-project as my base stack but change certain components to fit my vision. Not sure if this is the platform to ask but can anyone help me with my project. I can pay depending upon the budget This is my to-do list Mandatory * Migrate to newer buildroot builds for wider supportability * Switch DNS to bind * Switch DHCP to isc2 dhcp server * Switch arno ip tables firewall to shorewall. I see that Lonnie is one of the core developers for Arno and have due respect for him however I could not able to part from my principle and the reason I chose shorewall is because of the developer even if he retired recently. * Switch HTTP to Apache * Mail Server - exim * IMAP Server - dovecot * Upgrade iptables to newer version Additional Items * Native JDK Supportability * Native Python Supportability * LetsEncyrpt * Support for Raspberri PI and OdroidXU4 and Other devices * LXC is the last one I would like to use because I am trying to support SBCs as well Thanks Ramesh GK Phone: 408-462-0408 Strive not to be a success but rather to be of value - Albert Einstein ________________________________ From: David Kerr <da...@ke...> Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2020 2:13 PM To: AstLinux Developers Mailing List <ast...@li...> Subject: Re: [Astlinux-devel] Can astlinux-project be extended to a Home Gateway Appliance Ramesh, I think you will find that there are several people on this list that use AstLinux in SMB settings... making their living selling and supporting services with AstLinux at the core. On each of your points AstLinux has a way to address. * Routing and Firewall is built in. Uses Arno iptables firewall. * DNS... we use dnsmasq * DHCP... dnsmasq is our dhcp server. IPv4 only. * We recommend an external cellular modem like NetGear LB1121. Astlinux has WAN failover that will work with that. * Current development builds include LXC containers. With that you could add a full mail server (I installed Postfix the other day). * You could do a custom build of AstLinux to include python.

Yes I was correct. If I don't optimise out the Local channel e.g. /n, then the Unique ID remains the same in the queue_log. Problem solved. It actually never worked.

When you enable full logging in logger.conf and set verbosity to 3 or higher and then analyse the full log file, the calls have a unique call-id „C-xxxxxxxx“. With that you should figure out dialplan issues. Sent from a mobile device. Michael Keuter > Am 26.05.2020 um 01:36 schrieb Michael Knill <mic...@ip...>: > > I have.

I have. They are the ones that have told me it's a problem with the queue_log file which I can see it is.
I'm thinking the problem may be dialplan related rather than Asterisk version related. The COMPLETE records seem to have a different ID to the rest of the call.

Just some feedback on this.
We do lose the occasional packet now and then but overall its pretty good.
Having purchased the Microsoft Partner Action Pack (bargain for what you get), its all paid for!

Its currently costing me around $2 AU per day which is not cheap but pretty good for a 99.9% Uptime SLA.

tarsnap is basically tar, so with the proper -C you should be OK. Check the results, remove and try again if you were wrong.

GParted works!! At least on my test VM. I put the GParted ISO onto my ESXi datastore, created a VM, attached the target disk as a 2nd disk, then booted from the ISO. I could then select the target disk and resize it easily. Shutdown the GParted VM, removed the 2nd disk, booted my test Astlinux and the partition was resized. Now to decide whether to do the same on my main Astlinux (after backup / snapshot!) or go with a new install to get the separate kd partition.

A tip, if you are going to do a lot of tedious command-like stuff via the RUNNIX shell, choose the bootloader option "ssh" so can perform the tasks via a remote terminal. Lonnie |

If I create fresh from an ISO install, how is the available disk partitioned... does most of it get assigned to the kd ?
