This document describes how to use the Signal Messenger REST API together with Octoprint.
prerequisites:
- docker + docker-compose
- a phone number to send signal notifications
- Create a
docker-compose.yml
file with the following contents:
version: "3"
services:
signal-cli-rest-api:
image: bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api:latest
environment:
- MODE=json-rpc #supported modes: json-rpc, native, normal
ports:
- "8080:8080" # map docker port 8080 to host port 8080.
volumes:
- "./signal-cli-config:/home/.local/share/signal-cli" # map "signal-cli-config" folder on host system into docker container. the folder contains the password and cryptographic keys when a new number is registered
- start the docker container with
docker-compose up
In order to send signal messages to other users, you first need to register your phone number. This can be done via REST requests with:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://<ip>:<port>/v1/register/<number>'
e.g:
This registers the number +431212131491291
to the Signal network.
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/register/+431212131491291'
After you've sent the registration request, you will receive a token via SMS for verfication. In order to complete the registration process you need to send the verification token back via the following REST request:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://<ip>:<port>/v1/register/<number>/verify/<verification code>'
e.g:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/register/+431212131491291/verify/123-456'
