In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DailyTxT on Ubuntu Server Latest. DailyTxT is an open source, easy-to-use tool that allows you to receive daily notifications via SMS or WhatsApp. This tutorial assumes that you have already set up your Ubuntu Server Latest environment.
Before installing DailyTxT, you must first install its dependencies. To install the necessary libraries, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-pip
After installing the dependencies, you must install the required Python packages. To install the Python packages, run the following commands:
sudo pip3 install Flask==1.0.2
sudo pip3 install requests==2.21.0
sudo pip3 install pyopenssl==19.0.0
To install DailyTxT, you must first clone the project’s GitHub repository. To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/PhiTux/DailyTxT.git
This command will create a new directory called “DailyTxT” in your current directory.
Before running DailyTxT, you must configure the application by creating a configuration file. To create the configuration file, navigate to the “DailyTxT” directory, and then copy the “config.py.example” file to “config.py”:
cd DailyTxT
cp config.py.example config.py
After creating the configuration file, you must edit it to configure the application. Open the “config.py” file using your preferred text editor, and then modify the following lines:
# Phone Number in International Format, ex: +628123456789
PHONE_NUMBER = "YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER"
# Service Broker Command
SERVICEBROKER = "YOUR_SERVICE_BROKER"
# Get the API Key and Token from https://www.twilio.com/
ACCOUNT_SID = "YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID"
AUTH_TOKEN = "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN"
# Settimezone, list of supported timezones
TIMEZONE = "YOUR_TIMEZONE"
# Set language, list of supported languages
LANGUAGE = "YOUR_LANGUAGE"
In the above example, replace the capitalized values with your own values. For example, you should replace “YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER” with your own phone number, and “YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID” with your Twilio account SID.
After configuring DailyTxT, you can run the web application using the following command:
python3 DailyTxT.py
This command will start the DailyTxT server, which will listen on port 5000 by default.
To use DailyTxT, simply open a web browser and navigate to your Ubuntu Server's IP address followed by :5000, for example: http://192.168.1.101:5000/. You should see the DailyTxT web interface.
From here, you can schedule notifications for specific times, intervals, or weekdays. Once set, DailyTxT will send you daily text message notifications. You can also configure DailyTxT to send WhatsApp notifications.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DailyTxT on Ubuntu Server Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
