Install Asterisk PBX with Recording

Job ID: 39729459

Budget: $100 – $200 USD

The task is to set up a clean, production-ready Asterisk installation on my Linux server and activate built-in call-recording functionality. The machine is already provisioned and accessible via SSH; you will have root privileges and can choose between package-based or source compilation as long as the result is stable and easily maintainable.

Key points
• Asterisk must start automatically on boot and register no critical errors in the log.
• Call recording should work for all internal and external calls, with files stored in a logical directory structure and named clearly for later retrieval.
• Standard voice-mail and IVR modules are not required right now—keep the system lean.
• Apply basic security best practices (fail2ban, strong passwords, SIP over TLS if practical) and document any ports opened.
• Provide concise setup notes so I can reproduce or extend the build later.

I will test by making sample calls and verifying audio files are created and playable. Once those checks pass and the documentation is complete, the project is done.
