SMS Campaign Manager 📱
Dockerized SMS automation system with Android integration
🚀 Quick Start
One-Command Deployment
# 1. Deploy to Android with correct directory structure
# Scripts go to ~/bin/
scp -P 8022 android/*.sh android-dev@10.0.0.193:~/bin/
ssh android-dev "chmod +x ~/bin/*.sh"
# Python apps go to ~/projects/sms-campaign-manager/
ssh android-dev "mkdir -p ~/projects/sms-campaign-manager"
scp -P 8022 android/*.py android-dev@10.0.0.193:~/projects/sms-campaign-manager/
# Start all services
ssh android-dev "~/bin/start-all-services.sh"
# 2. Start Ubuntu homelab
./run.sh start
# OR with docker-compose
docker-compose up -d
# 3. Verify everything is running
curl http://10.0.0.193:5001/health # Android SMS API
curl http://10.0.0.193:5000/ # Android Monitor
curl http://localhost:5000/ # Ubuntu Dashboard
Prerequisites
- Docker & Docker Compose installed
- Android device with USB debugging enabled
- Local network access to Android device
1. Clone and Configure
# Clone or navigate to project directory
cd "ABD Texting Testing"
# Copy environment template
cp config/.env.example .env
# Edit configuration for your Android device
nano .env
2. Launch with Docker Compose
# Quick start using convenience script
./run.sh start
# Or manually with docker-compose
docker-compose up -d
# View logs
docker-compose logs -f
# Access web interface
open http://localhost:5000
3. Connect Your Android Device
The system will automatically discover and connect to your Android device using the IP configured in .env.
4. Deploy Android Services
Copy the pre-configured service files to their correct directories on Termux:
# Deploy shell scripts to ~/bin/ directory
scp -P 8022 android/*.sh android-dev@10.0.0.193:~/bin/
ssh -p 8022 android-dev@10.0.0.193 "chmod +x ~/bin/*.sh"
# Deploy Python applications to ~/projects/sms-campaign-manager/
ssh -p 8022 android-dev@10.0.0.193 "mkdir -p ~/projects/sms-campaign-manager"
scp -P 8022 android/app.py android/termux-sms-api-server.py android-dev@10.0.0.193:~/projects/sms-campaign-manager/
# Verify deployment
ssh android-dev "ls -la ~/bin/*.sh && ls -la ~/projects/sms-campaign-manager/*.py"
5. Start Android Services
Your S24 Ultra runs two services for SMS operations. Use the automated startup script:
# Start all services at once (recommended)
ssh android-dev "~/bin/start-all-services.sh"
# Or start services individually:
ssh android-dev "~/bin/sms-service.sh start" # SMS API Server
ssh android-dev "~/bin/start-monitoring.sh" # Monitoring Interface
# Check service status
ssh android-dev "~/bin/sms-service.sh status"
curl http://10.0.0.193:5001/health # SMS API health check
curl http://10.0.0.193:5000/ # Monitoring dashboard
Available Service Scripts:
start-all-services.sh- Start both services with health checkssms-service.sh- Service management (start/stop/status)start-sms-api.sh- SMS API Server onlystart-monitoring.sh- Monitoring interface onlynetwork-monitor.sh- Network connectivity monitoring
Service URLs:
- 🚀 SMS API Server: http://10.0.0.193:5001 (REST API for sending SMS)
- 📊 Monitoring Interface: http://10.0.0.193:5000 (Web dashboard for testing)
5. Verify Full System
# Test Ubuntu homelab → Android connection

📱 Android Setup
Method 1: ADB Wireless (Recommended)
- Enable Developer Options on Android
- Enable USB Debugging
- Enable Wireless Debugging
- Connect to same WiFi network as your homelab
- Run
./auto.shto auto-discover and connect
Method 2: Termux API Integration

- Grant SMS permissions to Termux:API
- Run
./setup-termux-integration.shfrom your homelab - API server will run on port 5001
🎯 Usage Examples
Campaign Management
- Access Web Interface:
http://localhost:5000 - Upload Contacts: CSV with
phone,name,messagecolumns - Create Campaign: Set message template with
{name}variables - 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: Check IP address in
.envand WiFi connectivity - SMS not sending: Verify ADB connection and screen coordinates
- Permission denied: Ensure Docker has USB device access
- Database errors: Check volume mounts and file permissions

🚨 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
# Redeploy scripts to ~/bin/
scp -P 8022 android/*.sh android-dev@10.0.0.193:~/bin/
ssh android-dev "chmod +x ~/bin/*.sh"
# Redeploy Python apps to ~/projects/sms-campaign-manager/
scp -P 8022 android/*.py android-dev@10.0.0.193:~/projects/sms-campaign-manager/
# Restart services
ssh android-dev "~/bin/start-all-services.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
./auto.sh
# Check ADB devices
adb devices
# Restart connection monitoring
./phone-auto-connect.sh restart
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
