If you follow the instructions for downloading and installing FusionPBX on Debian, but on a Devuan system, it will fail to work without telling you.
It looks like it's worked, because you get to see the FreeSwitch CLI "logo" shortly before the end of the FusionPBX installation.
However, there are some messages right at the end of the installation which look as though they might mean something doesn't work correctly:

These are not actually reported as errors by the installer, but they do indicate that things are not going to work.
I ended up with:

After rebooting the system as instructed, I pointed a browser at the IP address and got a 502 Bad Gateway error from nginx/1.18.0
It made no difference which of two different versions each of three different browsers I tried; there was nothing to log in to.
So, it clearly hasn't worked.
https://www.bytesolutions.com/fusionpbx-error-502-bad-gateway/ suggests a permissions problem, but in my case, /var/log/nginx/error.log was full of No such file or directory, generally referring to PHP stuff.
This, combined with the messages at the end of the installer such as resources/finish.sh: 55: /usr/bin/php: not found suggest to me that FusionPBX requires PHP and the installer hasn't installed it. It definitely hasn't installed a packaged version, and find tells me it hasn't installed anything else either. Bad marks for the installer.
The nginx errors refer to php8.1, but this version of Devuan (4, Chimaera) which is based on the FusionPBX-recommended version of Debian (11, Bullseye) offers php7.4. Strange.
Manually installing the php package also installed apache2-bin which seems odd considering that FusionPBX has already clearly installed nginx. However, a reboot after installing php left things precisely the same in terms of nginx errors and "502 Bad Gateway".
Looking more closely at the installer script, it appears that it expects to get a known Debian release name (such as "stretch", "buster" or "bullseye") out of the lsb_release -cs command, which on this Devuan system returns "chimaera".
This clearly buggers up the PHP installer, because it can't decide which version to install, and therefore doesn't install anything (but without reporting a visible error).
