Interface with smstools

[v0d0r]

Not a bug or issue per say. Might just be my own ignorance but how do I interface with SMS tools when running playsms from a container? Do I need to map a tty port to the container and where do I configure smstools? Or does smstools not run inside playsms do I somehow need to talk to the smstools binary outside of the playsms docker?

Did you get this resolved?

[v0d0r]

Yes this was sorted. My lack of docker knowledge at the time. I do not use playsms anymore but for what its worth this is the last working docker compose file I used. You basically just need to give your container access to the devices. In this example I had 2 modems that mounted on the docker host as ttyUSBx and then you map them to the docker guest.

services:
  playsms:
    image: v0d0r/playsms:latest
    container_name: playsms
    restart: unless-stopped
    devices:
      - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0
      - /dev/ttyUSB1:/dev/ttyUSB1
    ports:
      - "2222:22"
      - "8181:80"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/nfs/swarm/dockervolumes/playsms/smstools/etc/smsd.conf:/etc/smsd.conf
      - /mnt/nfs/swarm/dockervolumes/playsms/smstools/log:/var/log/smstools
    environment:
      - TZ=Africa/Johannesburg

Thank you so much for sharing.

What do you now use?

[v0d0r]

At the time I had a use case to use SMS to automate some things remotely based on incoming sms and content it received. Since then I don't run that project anymore but if I require the use of SMS again playsms is always my goto for small scale setups with local modems. For something at scale then still playsms but integrated with a provider that can send on scale such as Clickatell or Twilio.

Alright, thanks.
