Storing Recordings in a Shared Windows Folder

In some cases, it is necessary to save call recordings on a network drive. This example shows how to connect a shared Windows folder to MikoPBX.

Note: If the network folder becomes unavailable, it may cause disruptions in PBX operation.

1. Create a directory for the script:

mkdir /storage/usbdisk1/mikopbx/custom_modules/shared-folder-script

2. Create the script file:

/cat > /storage/usbdisk1/mikopbx/custom_modules/shared-folder-script/mount-shared-folder.sh

3. Insert the script content:

#!/bin/sh
HOST='//172.16.32.38/SharedFolder';
USER='';
PASS='';
REC_DIR='autorecords';
mountPoint='/storage/win-shared';

createLink ()
{
  subDir="$(date '+%Y/%m')";
  monitorDir="$(/bin/busybox grep monitordir < /etc/inc/mikopbx-settings.json | /bin/busybox cut -f 4 -d '"')";
  if [ "${monitorDir}x" = 'x' ];then
    echo "Empty monitor dir";
    return;
  fi;
  /bin/busybox mkdir -p "$monitorDir" "$mountPoint/$REC_DIR/$subDir";
  if [ ! -L "$monitorDir/$subDir" ] && [ -d "$monitorDir/$subDir" ];then
    cp -r "$monitorDir/$subDir/"*  "$mountPoint/$REC_DIR/$subDir";
    rm -rf "${monitorDir:?}/$subDir/";
    ln -s "$mountPoint/$REC_DIR/$subDir" "${monitorDir:?}/$subDir";
  fi;

  if [ ! -L "$monitorDir/$subDir" ] && [ ! -f "${monitorDir:?}/$subDir" ]; then
    ln -s "$mountPoint/$REC_DIR/$subDir" "${monitorDir:?}/$subDir";
  fi;
}

/bin/busybox mount | /bin/busybox grep "$HOST";
resGrep="$?";
if [ "$resGrep" = "0" ]; then
  echo "Disk is mounted..."
  createLink;
  exit 2;
fi;

mkdir -p "$mountPoint";
/bin/busybox mount -t cifs "$HOST" "$mountPoint" -o "username=$USER,password=$PASS,vers=2.0"
resMount="$?";

if [ "$resMount" != '0' ];then
  echo "Error mount $HOST"
  exit 1;
fi;

createLink;

4. Press "CTRL+D" twice to finish creating the file.

5. Grant execution permissions:

chmod +x /storage/usbdisk1/mikopbx/custom_modules/shared-folder-script/mount-shared-folder.sh

6. In the script variables "HOST, USER, PASS", specify the connection parameters to the shared folder.

7. Add the script to cron for automatic connection of the shared folder.

8. Go to the System → Customizing System Files section.

9. Add the following rule to the end of the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file:

*/1 * * * * /storage/usbdisk1/mikopbx/custom_modules/shared-folder-script/mount-shared-folder.sh > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Test the PBX operation to ensure that call recordings are being saved to the network drive.
