The project was created at the Hackday 2022.

Setup

We use twilio to send the SMS. Therefore you need to create a twilio account and set up the "Mesage/SMS" feature.

Note: For testing purpose you can use the trial version of twilio.

Afterwards you have to paste the credentials in a file named config.json:

{
    "username": "TWILIO_USERNAME",
    "password": "TWILIO_PASSOWRD",
    "phonenumber": "TWILIO_PHONENUMBER"
}

Now you can run the server:

go run main.go

You may want to use ngrok to expose the them to the internet.

The URL has to be set as a SMS webhook for your phonenumber in the twilio console to receive the SMS someone sends to the twilio phonenumber.

Note: In case you use the trial account you have to verify all phonenumbers who sends a SMS to your twilio phonenumber first. See also the twilio docs for this.
