Replacing the old core services box
Asterisk has already been moved off and virtualized.
Now we move all the old scripts to the new box so we can relieve failing hardware and prepare to start separating and virtualizing the remaining services.
In line with UNIX filesystem standards, we will move all custom scripts and packages that are coded by UAS into /opt/uas instead of using /uas
the new box is a VXL thin client, a P4 with 2GB ram and 4GB onboard SSD storage.
First step has been to install latest debian - old core box was a very out of date and unsupported Ubuntu Server install (10.10).
First step - copy over occupancy sensor system. Latest scripts will be uploaded and published afterwards.
Next - install pre-requisites. apt-get install ImageMagick alsamixer mplayer
At this point, move speaker over to new box and test audio.
Audio playback is problematic - had to install PulseAudio because mplayer was having problems. Rebooted.
Next - testing the scripts.
