Signal Reminder

Small application to send reminders to a Signal group chat using the Signal CLI

How to run

Yes this is going to be a terrible how to run because I'm lazy rn.

• Push the Signal API docker image to ECR
• Create a PEM KeyPair in the EC2 console
• Either manually pull the image on your EC2 instance or uncomment and edit the 2 lines in the startup script under UserData in the CloudFormation template
• Go through the Getting Started section OR...
• ...start the Signal API $ sudo docker run -d --name signal-api --restart=always -p 8080:8080 \ -v $HOME/.local/share/signal-cli:/home/.local/share/signal-cli \ -e 'MODE=native' bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api and register your phone number
• Deploy the CloudFormation template in the CloudFormation console. This will provision an EC2 instance with the minimum set of required IAM permissions,
• SSH into your EC2 instance, e.g. ssh -i "myPrivateKey.pem" [email protected]
• Run crontab -e and edit with 0 1 * * * /home/ec2-user/reminder.sh 0 0 * * Fri [ $(expr $(date +%W) % 2) -eq 1 ] && /home/ec2-user/reminder.sh
  • NOTE: default crontab behavior is Vim. If you don't like Vim you can also nano into it by setting
    • nano ~/.bash_profile
    • export VISUAL="nano"
    • source ~/.bash_profile
    • .. and then running crontab -e should open it with nano
