How to – Setup an archive server

This article is going to go over how to “scratch” install an archive server on CentOS 8, Rocky Linux or Alma Linux. You can pretty much follow it for OpenSuSe as well but there would be some small variations for installing vsftpd.

Step 1 – Install and setup vsftpd

The first thing we have to do is install and properly configure vsftpd.

yum install vsftpd
nano /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
paste the following at the very bottom:

allow_writeable_chroot=YES
userlist_deny=NO
pasv_min_port=30000
pasv_max_port=31000
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd/user_list
allow_writeable_chroot=YES
vsftpd config
vsftpd.conf config
nano /etc/vsftpd/user_list
(add "cronarchive" to the bottom)

useradd -m -d /home/archive/ cronarchive
passwd cronarchive 
(set the pw u want)

mkdir -p /home/archive
chmod -R 777 /home/archive

Step 2 – Set your archive server in install.pl script

Below is a settings example to put during the install.pl script which can be run by running the following commands. This has to be run on all asterisk servers:

cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/
perl install.pl
archive setup
archive setup during install.pl script

Step 3 – Turning on the cronjob to send the recordings over to the archive server

Changing this cronjob has to be done on all asterisk servers. You have to remove the # in front of this line by typing “crontab -e” and scrolling until you find it:

2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47,50,53,56,59 * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_audio_3_ftp.pl --MP3 --run-check
crontab -e

Step 4 – Changing the Apache alias for the recordings

Last thing we need to do is change the alias for the recordings on the archive server as shown below:

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/record.conf

Alias /RECORDINGS/ "/home/archive/"

<Directory "/home/archive">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
        <files *.mp3>
            Forcetype application/forcedownload
        </files>
</Directory>
Apache alias
Apache alias

Well, thats all there is to it, hopefully this will help some of you with improving your cluster setups and properly setting up an archive server.

Alma 9 Vicidial Selfsign Webrtc

I am going to provide step by step guide to integrate, enable and configure the viciphone(a webrtc phone) in vicidial (also applicable to any vicidial based system) using the Self Signed SSL Certificate ,ie without a public-ip and FQDN or accessing the vicidial with internal LAN IP. 1️⃣ Install OpenSSL (if not installed) sudo dnf install -y openssl 2️⃣ Generate a Private Key openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out selfsigned.key -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 3️⃣ Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) openssl req -new -key selfsigned.key -out selfsigned.csr It will prompt you for details like: Country Name (e.g., IN ) State or Province (e.g., Gujarat ) Locality (City) Organization Name Common Name (Domain, e.g., example.com or your server IP) Email Address You can use localhost or an IP address if needed. 4️⃣ Generate a Self-Signed Certificate openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in selfsigned.csr -signkey selfsigned.key -out selfsigned.crt -days 365 → Valid for 1 year (Adjust as needed) ...
