I recommend FreePBX, put the ISO anywhere and you're done, no arbitrary limits, no licencing anything.
How do I force salt-ssh to use /usr/bin/python3.8 without changing the /usr/bin/python3 symlink?
2 projects | /r/saltstack | 15 Jun 2021

Yeah, I use this approach with the FreePBX Distro. It depends on a weird yum package python36u-3.6.7-1.ius.centos7.x86_64 which isn't compatible with the regular Python3.6 package of which Salt depends on. So using the Saltproject yum repo fails every time.
