[Adminsysters] server adele reinstall

Why not install BBB on adele? Apart from you being able to install it
right away and not going through all the to-do migration list, we
wouldn't have to maintain a ssl certificate for jean (BBB needs one for
its domain). Also adele's software will be backed-up to jean.

On another note, it'd be a loss of energy to install something on jean
and then cancel it if we want to install openvpn later. They could both
co-exist in jean.

That's my 2 cents Donna, not strong opinions, you can proceed as you
find fit.

BTW I read that bare metal is more desired than a VS because it uses
FreeSWITCH
