There is a post in forum that jimp explains how to fix this smal partition used during package install, I'll try to find it and post here.
Here is the post:

Thanks, I found it myself, and it seems to install fine now! I'm going on with config tests…
-
Alright! It installed smoothly.
Next question is, how to make it start at boot?
adding 'asterisk_enable="YES"' to the the /etc/rc.conf.local (or /etc/defaults/rc.conf) doesn't start it at boot.
(copied /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk to /etc/rc.d/asterisk.sh) -
Edit startup script and change values from NO to YES. :)
-
Which startup script?
/etc/rc.conf.local <-doesn't work
/etc/rc.conf <-gets deleted every time I reboot -
asterisk script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk

Cool, thanks.
I'm used to debian… :-\
-
Can you test and feedback if asterisk is working with no issues like one-way-audio?
-
I'm on to it. But before that, I notice stupid errors like this:

I need to hunt this down before any further testing.
Remember, I'm on nanobsd...
-
/var is flushed every boot, it's on ram.
You need to change db file location to /usr for example.

You need to change db file location to /usr for example.
But that's read-only at run-time, isn't it? On nanoBsd.
-
Yes, it is.
You will have to find a way to create or copy/backup db on asterisk startup and shutdown
-
Since my asterisk setup is quite simple, no database used really, I redirected everything that needs to be written to /tmp, don't mind if that's lost at reboot. Hope that workaround will be suitable.
-
I didn't bind Asterisk to any interface. It binds to all, so no firewall settings are required at all.
Phones connect through LAN, telco providers connect through WAN. Asterisk itself routes the SIP/RTP traffic.
-
So, It's working as expected(sip gateway/proxy/server) with no audio issues?
-
So, It's working as expected(sip gateway/proxy/server) with no audio issues?
Running with no issues so far for 4 days:
- gateway/router/nat
- OpenVPN server and client simultaneously
- asterisk
I also plan running Snort, but I need to upgrade RAM on the box first…
-
I wrote a small php status page integrating in pfSense's webGUI, for anyone interested.
-
Some tweaks, to make Asterisk 1.8.8.1 run smoothly on pfSense box. In my case, it's a nanobsd-system, but they should work just as well on normal systems.
/usr/local/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf:
[directories] astetcdir => /usr/local/etc/asterisk astmoddir => /usr/local/lib/asterisk/modules astvarlibdir => /usr/local/share/asterisk astdbdir => /tmp astkeydir => /usr/local/share/asterisk astdatadir => /usr/local/share/asterisk astagidir => /usr/local/share/asterisk/agi-bin astspooldir => /tmp astrundir => /var/run/asterisk astlogdir => /var/log/asteriskMake sure to create all the directories above if they don't exist, they are needed in order to run properly. astlogdir contains the base path where the call logs go, if that's a read-only location, simply create a symlink cdr-csv which points to a writable directory, in my case /tmp is just fine (I don't mind if I loose the file while rebooting). So it means that asterisk will look at the factory path /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv actually in /tmp/Master.csv. Main asterisk log file usually goes also in astlogdir but that can be overridden below:
/usr/local/etc/asterisk/logger.conf by the end of the file:
console => notice,warning,error ;console => notice,warning,error,debug ;messages => notice,warning,error /tmp/log_asterisk => notice,warning,errorWhere /tmp/log_asterisk is the logfile. Note that in my status_asterisk_log.php page it looks for this file so if you change location, don't forget to update the php script too.

there, the ones uncommented in the config file will not be loaded by Asterisk. I don't use these anyways, so less memory usage, less conflicts and no errors at all with this setup.
/usr/local/etc/asterisk/sip.conf the most important one:
[general] alwaysauthreject=yes language=hu maxexpiry=600 defaultexpiry=100 registerattempts=250 registertimeout=15 allowguest = no bindport=5060 bindaddr=0.0.0.0 localnet=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 localnet=192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 externhost=your.domain.name.can.be.dyndns.too externrefresh=600 jbenable=yes disallow=all allow=g729 allow=ulaw allow=alawIf you have multiple LAN subnets, add them all here as localnet, if SIP phones are on them. It's important for security reasons.
Note bindaddr=0.0.0.0, that means Asterisk will listen directly on all interfaces of pfSense box. That means no firewall configuration is needed at all (no rules, no nat etc): clients inside LAN and servers out there will be able to talk to each other through Asterisk, nothing needs to be routed anywhere./usr/local/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf requires nothing special, just configure it as you wish.
Look in your logfile periodically. If Asterisk complains about something, a Google search on the error message usually throws back usable suggestions. Any security issues may show up in the logs too if it's the case.
Good luck!

I can help you on first package relase.
It's basically a XML file That install php files, create menus and install the asterisk files.
Isn't better start a topic on packages section instead of nat?
