FreeSWITCH™ is tested and runs 24x7 on a headless Mac Mini. There was almost no FreeSWITCH™/macOS information when I replaced a VOIP PBX in 2010. So I compiled what I learned through searching, trial and error, the FreeSWITCH™ mailing list, etc. And created this documentation.
Please take note of the information in our Pre-Install Best Practice (PBP) guide, thoughnot strictly required it may help in avoiding problems encountered duringinstall.

Making a Rockstor USB install disk¶
The downloaded iso must first be restored to a physical device to create theinstall media for a physical machine install. Depending on you desktop/laptopOS(Linux, Windows or Mac), there are GUI as well as Command Line programs usingwhich the install disk can be created.
GUI options¶
On a Linux Unity or Gnome Desktop see our Rockstor USB install disk using Gnome Disks.
On a Windows Desktop consider usingRawrite32. Plumbous rain mac os.
Please note the following USB image writing programs have been found toproduce NON working USB install disks when used with the Rockstor iso andtheir default settings.
Unetbootin
Rufus (N.B. does work in DD image mode, see our Rockstor USB install disk using Rufus)
Please also see the Install Rockstor from USB flash drive and the Boot order changes sectionsof the Small Office Fileserver with Rockstor document for more information on making and using theUSB install disk.
Command line options¶
To create a USB install disk on Linux or Mac one can use the dd command. Forexample if your USB device is /dev/sdc then from within the directorycontaining your downloaded Rockstor iso file the command would be:-
Note that the .iso file name will vary depending on the Rockstor version.
Another option on linux systems is the ddrescue command which givesmore reassuring feedback whilst the USB key is being written. On Debian andUbuntu systems install via sudo apt-get install gddrescue and on Fedorasystems install via sudo dnf install ddrescue. Use similarly to dd aboveonly using the following command:-
sudo ddrescue -d -D –force Rockstor-3.8-9.iso /dev/sdc
Note that there are 2 '-' characters next to each other before the 'force'switch.
Mac OS X¶
For Mac OS X (tested on El Capitan). Surrealista mac os. You can also use dd and the diskutilprogram to create the USB stick.
Spinning maze mac os. Insert the USB stick and open a terminal window (Open LaunchPad and type terminaland click on the icon). Determine the device name below, make sure you specifythe USB stick and not your OS X disk. If you are unsure which is which, don'tgo any further.
Under the IDENTIFIER column, you should see a disk# (you may see a disk#s# butjust note the disk# since we need to format the whole USB Stick). Unmount and burnthe Rockstor ISO to the USB drive using the following commands, replacing disk# withyour IDENTIFIER name (this will DESTROY all data on the USB drive).
Force Switch Mac Os Catalina
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#sudo dd if=~/Downloads/Rockstor-3.8.14.iso of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m
Note the ‘r' is placed in front of the disk# and ‘bs=1m' is for blocksize. There isno progress bar, you will return to the command prompt once the command finishes. Oncethat happens, eject the disk and you are done.

There is also dd for Windows but this isuntested, please see our GUI options.
