Asterisk PBX Initial Setup Assistance

Job ID: 40007062

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I have a clean server ready and need Asterisk installed and brought to a working “out-of-the-box” state. That covers the core packages, basic SIP/Chan_PJSIP configuration, a starter dial-plan, and all the little touches—service auto-start, log rotation, and sensible security tweaks—so I can begin adding extensions immediately.

If you’ve done fresh Asterisk deployments before, especially on Debian or CentOS, tell me where and how many; your hands-on experience will weigh far more than theory. Once you’re finished I want to be able to register two soft-phones, place a test call, and verify audio both ways—nothing fancy yet, just proof the platform is solid.

Deliverables (all on my single VPS):

• Install the latest stable Asterisk with required dependencies
• Configure one sample SIP trunk and two local extensions
• Provide a minimal but functional dial-plan and voicemail box
• Harden the setup (fail2ban rules or equivalent)
• Hand over a short text log of commands/changes so I can reproduce or adjust later

SSH access is ready as soon as we agree on timing.
