url-to-sms-bridge? #9

Hi,

I am currently trying to setup this sms bridge:

I have set up android-sms-gateway-server on my android phone
I am using matrix-docker-ansible-deploy on my homeserver

However, I don't know what should I put for the url-to-sms-bridge option? If I understand correctly, it should point to my android phone where the server is runing. In such case, should I connect my phone to the wifi and set a static IP address? Could it work over 4G network?

Thanks a lot

The android phone needs to be reachable from the bridge, so a static ip address or a DNS entry is needed. Then you can use something like this as baseurl: https://192.168.2.2:9090. 9090 is the default port of android-sms-gateway-server. You could theoretically reach your phone via VPN also in a 4G network, but I don't think that makes sense, because android-sms-gateway hosts a web-server, which would drain your battery.
