It is just a handy thing when you work on your laptop. You probably don't want to pick up your phone every time you need to enter an OTP code or check who is calling.
Since Igor's backend doesn't seem to work anymore, I decided to set up my own.
This fork allows you to set up your own backend and telegram bot.
For convenience you can use docker image tarasverq/smsq-backend
Just run it with command
docker run --name smsq -d --env=DOMAIN=<DOMAIN_HERE> --env=BOT_TOKEN=<BOT_TOKEN_HERE> --env=ADMIN_ID=<YOUR_TG_ID_HERE> -p <PORT_HERE>:80 tarasverq/smsq-backend:latest
| Variable name | Description |
|---|---|
| DOMAIN_HERE | Domain with port for tg webhook. Webhook can be set up only on ports 80, 88, 443 or 8443 |
| BOT_TOKEN_HERE | Your bot token obtained from @BotFather |
| YOUR_TG_ID_HERE | Your TG ID. Easiest way to get it: @username_to_id_bot |
| PORT_HERE | Host Machine port |
Example:
docker run --name smsq -d --env=DOMAIN=domain.com:443 --env=BOT_TOKEN=6531881811:AAF111e3coTifgug03-MdxN2tUEh7kp4Sm4 --env=ADMIN_ID=123321 -p 8888:80 tarasverq/smsq-backend:latest
IMPORTANT: Don't forget to send /start message to your bot before starting up docker image
In case you want to use https (recommended) set up nginx reverse proxy with letsencrypt certs.
Manual
Example nginx conf matching with ports from command above.

Just install mobile app from releases
⚠️ WARNINGIf you want to use it into long-running background mode, you need to disable Google Play Protect. Instruction
Otherwise, the Google Play Protect service will unload the app every 4 hours because it doesn't have a certification.
