🚀 Deployment Script

Using deploy-android.sh

The automated deployment script simplifies Android service deployment:

./scripts/deploy-android.sh

What it does:

1. ✅ Tests Tailscale connectivity to Android device
2. ✅ Verifies SSH connection
3. ✅ Creates necessary directories on Android
4. ✅ Deploys shell scripts to ~/bin/
5. ✅ Deploys Python apps to ~/projects/sms-campaign-manager/
6. ✅ Sets proper permissions
7. ✅ Starts all services automatically
8. ✅ Verifies services are running and responsive

Features:

• Interactive confirmation before deployment
• Automatic service health checks
• Clear progress indicators
• Helpful error messages
• Post-deployment verification

Requirements:

• SSH password authentication to Android device
• Termux and Termux:API installed on Android
• Tailscale running on both devices (or local network access)

---

🔧 Service Management

Android Service Control

# Start all services
ssh android-dev "~/bin/start-all-services.sh"

# Individual service management
ssh android-dev "~/bin/sms-service.sh start"    # Start SMS API
ssh android-dev "~/bin/sms-service.sh stop"     # Stop SMS API  
ssh android-dev "~/bin/sms-service.sh status"   # Check SMS API status

# Restart monitoring interface
ssh android-dev "~/bin/start-monitoring.sh"

# View service logs
ssh android-dev "tail -f ~/logs/sms-api.log"
ssh android-dev "tail -f ~/logs/monitoring.log"

Auto-start on Boot (Optional)

# Add to Termux ~/.bashrc for auto-start
ssh android-dev
echo '~/bin/start-all-services.sh' >> ~/.bashrc

Service Health Monitoring

# Network connectivity monitoring
ssh android-dev "~/bin/network-monitor.sh"

# Complete system health check
curl http://10.0.0.193:5001/health && echo "SMS API: ✅" || echo "SMS API: ❌"
curl http://10.0.0.193:5000/ > /dev/null && echo "Monitor: ✅" || echo "Monitor: ❌"
curl http://localhost:5000/api/phone/status && echo "Homelab: ✅" || echo "Homelab: ❌"

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables (.env)

# Android Device Configuration (Tailscale Recommended)
PHONE_IP=100.107.173.66                 # Your Android Tailscale IP (or local IP)
ADB_PORT=5555                           # ADB wireless debugging port (optional)
TERMUX_API_PORT=5001                    # Termux API server port

# Flask Application
FLASK_ENV=production                    # Environment mode
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here         # Flask secret key (change in production!)
DEFAULT_DELAY_SECONDS=3                 # SMS sending delay

# SMS Retry Configuration
SMS_MAX_RETRIES=3                       # Number of retry attempts
SMS_RETRY_BASE_DELAY=2                  # Base delay for exponential backoff
SMS_MAX_RETRY_DELAY=8                   # Maximum retry delay

# SMS Automation (ADB coordinates - only for fallback)
SEND_BUTTON_X=1300                      # Send button X coordinate
SEND_BUTTON_Y=2900                      # Send button Y coordinate

Note: With Tailscale connectivity, the system primarily uses Termux API and only falls back to ADB if needed. ADB wireless debugging is optional but provides redundancy.

Docker Volumes

• ./data:/app/data - SQLite database persistence
• ./uploads:/app/uploads - CSV contact file storage
• ./logs:/app/logs - Application logs
• /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb - USB device access for ADB

---

📱 Android Setup

Method 1: Tailscale + Termux API (Recommended)

1. Install Tailscale on Android from Google Play Store

   • Sign in and connect to your Tailnet
   • Note your Android device's Tailscale IP (e.g., 100.x.x.x)

2. Install Termux and Termux:API from F-Droid (not Google Play)

   • Download Termux
   • Download Termux:API

3. Setup SSH and Termux API

   # In Termux on Android:
   pkg update && pkg upgrade
   pkg install openssh termux-api python
   
   # Start SSH server
   sshd
   
   # Set password for SSH access
   passwd
   

4. Grant SMS Permissions

   • Open Android Settings → Apps → Termux:API
   • Grant SMS and Phone permissions

5. Deploy Services

   # On your Ubuntu homelab:
   ./deploy-android.sh
   

Method 2: Local Network (WiFi only)

1. Enable Developer Options on Android
2. Enable Wireless Debugging
3. Connect to same WiFi network as your homelab
4. Use local IP instead of Tailscale IP in .env
5. Follow Termux setup steps above

---

🎯 Usage Examples

Campaign Management

1. Access Web Interface: http://localhost:5000
2. Upload Contacts: CSV with phone, name, message columns
3. Create Campaign: Set message template with {name} variables
4. Monitor Progress: Real-time dashboard with analytics

CSV Format

phone,name,message
7802921731,Reed,Hi {name}! Your custom message here
7809101334,Ken,Hello {name}, different message per contact

Template Variables

• {name} - Contact name from CSV
• {phone} - Contact phone number
• Custom fields from your CSV columns

---

🧪 Testing & Troubleshooting

Health Checks

# Check Docker containers
docker-compose ps

# Test phone connectivity  
curl http://localhost:5000/api/phone/status

# View application logs
docker-compose logs sms-campaign

# Test SMS functionality
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/sms/test \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"phone":"YOUR_NUMBER","message":"Test message"}'

Common Issues

Phone not connecting:

• Verify Tailscale is running on both devices
• Check PHONE_IP in .env matches Android's Tailscale IP
• Test connectivity: ping YOUR_TAILSCALE_IP
• For local network: Ensure both devices on same WiFi

SMS not sending:

• Check Termux API health: curl http://YOUR_TAILSCALE_IP:5001/health
• Verify SMS permissions granted to Termux:API app
• Check Android service logs: ssh -p 8022 YOUR_TAILSCALE_IP "tail ~/logs/sms-api.log"

Termux API not responding:

• Restart services: ./deploy-android.sh or SSH and run ~/bin/start-all-services.sh
• Check if Python is installed in Termux: ssh -p 8022 YOUR_TAILSCALE_IP "which python"
• Verify Termux:API app is installed (from F-Droid, not Google Play)

Permission denied (Docker):

• Ensure Docker has USB device access (only needed for ADB fallback)
• Check volume mounts and file permissions

Database errors:

• Check volume mounts in docker-compose.yml
• Verify data directory permissions: ls -la data/

Connection timeout errors in logs:

• Normal if using Termux API over Tailscale (ADB is skipped)
• System automatically uses Termux API when available
• Only an issue if Termux API is also failing

🚨 Troubleshooting

Android Service Issues

# Check if services are running
ssh android-dev "ps aux | grep -E '(termux-sms-api|python.*app.py)'"

# Restart all services
ssh android-dev "pkill -f 'termux-sms-api-server.py'; pkill -f 'python app.py'"
ssh android-dev "~/bin/start-all-services.sh"

# Check service logs for errors
ssh android-dev "tail -20 ~/logs/sms-api.log"
ssh android-dev "tail -20 ~/logs/monitoring.log"

# Test Termux API permissions
ssh android-dev "termux-sms-list -l 1"  # Should list recent SMS

### Reinstall if services are corrupted
```bash
# Use the deployment script to redeploy everything
./scripts/deploy-android.sh

Service Port Conflicts

# Check what's using ports 5000/5001
ssh android-dev "netstat -tlnp | grep -E ':500[01]'"

# Kill processes on specific ports
ssh android-dev "lsof -ti:5001 | xargs kill -9"
ssh android-dev "lsof -ti:5000 | xargs kill -9"

Phone Not Connecting

# Auto-reconnect your phone
./scripts/auto.sh

# Check ADB devices
adb devices

Termux API Issues

# Test Termux API health
curl http://10.0.0.193:5001/health

# Restart Termux API server
ssh android-dev "cd ~/projects/sms-campaign-manager && python termux-sms-api-server.py"

Docker Deployment Issues

# Rebuild containers
docker-compose down && docker-compose up --build

# Check logs
docker-compose logs -f
