TextScreen

Simple Twilio app for screening people before they text you. Make your Twilio number public-facing to get rid of (most) spammers.

Setup

First, copy config.example.yml to config.yml and fill it in with the appropriate values.

Storage

You can store conversation sessions either in-memory or in Redis. Check the config for instructions. Note that sessions stored in Redis will expire after 24 hours to prevent them from piling up. Sessions stored in-memory do not expire.

Docker

There is a Docker image provided for easy setup:

Volumes

Place your config file at /config.yml in the container as a volume.

Ports

By default, the server listens on port 8080, so bind that to something on your host. Or whatever. You can change this in the config.
