PortSIP PBX Beta Testing
Important Notes Before You Begin
Beta Stage: Version 22.0 is currently in its beta phase. It is not recommended for use in a production environment.
Operating System Compatibility: The beta version is only available for Linux. We recommend using Debian 11/12 or Ubuntu 22.04/24.04.
Fresh Installation Required: Since this is a beta release, it cannot be seamlessly upgraded from the current v16.x installation. You will need to perform a fresh installation on a new server.
No Backward Compatibility: Beta versions do not support backward compatibility. This means that if you want to install a new beta version, you will need to uninstall and delete the previous beta version.
Future Upgrades: Once the v22.0 is officially released, it will support seamless upgrades from v16.x installations.
The beta version is intended for testing purposes only and should not be used in a production environment. We do not guarantee the stability of features or the integrity of data in this beta release.
