And, in fact, you don't need to ssh in from outside. You can ssh from
the server.

And how about just using tee to grab the output?

But if you really want to record a terminal window, you'll need a
terminal window,. So, like Kevin says, ssh in from a workstation that
is running X11 and has the recording program installed from packages.

Or use a video camera.
