Dockerized Signal Messenger REST API

This project creates a small dockerized REST API around signal-cli.

At the moment, the following functionality is exposed via REST:

• Register a number
• Verify the number using the code received via SMS
• Send message (+ attachments) to multiple recipients (or a group)
• Receive messages
• Link devices
• Create/List/Remove groups
• List/Serve/Delete attachments
• Update profile

Examples

Sample docker-compose.ymlfile:

version: "3"
services:
  signal-cli-rest-api:
    image: bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080" #map docker port 8080 to host port 8080.
    volumes:
      - "./signal-cli-config:/home/.local/share/signal-cli" #map "signal-cli-config" folder on host system into docker container. the folder contains the password and cryptographic keys when a new number is registered
