sms-fixer

Simple recovery script and Web service to convert Google Voice HTML logs into the Android app SMS Backup & Restore.

Requirements

For standalone script src/fixer.py:

python 2.6+
pip
virtualenv

Additional for Web service:

nginx
supervisord

Installing

Exact commands vary with OS.

Clone git repository.
Create a virtual environment in the same directory, and source the activate script.
Navigate into the directory and install the required Python packages with pip install -r requirements.txt.

For the Web service (CentOS-tested only):

Symlink or copy the file conf/nginx.conf into the nginx configuration directory (e.g. /etc/nginx/conf.d/sms-fixer.conf for CentOS).
Symlink or copy the file conf/supervisord.conf into the supervisord configuration directory.
Reload the config files of both nginx and supervisord, and ensure that both daemons are running.

Note that you probably need to edit the config files to point to the directory in which you cloned this repo as well as the server_name for nginx.

Using

The standalone script can be used by activating the virtual environment and running python src/fixer.py. Instructions available via the --help flag. Timezones for the --timezone flag can be found on Wikipedia.

The Web service should be accessed via the URL configured in the conf/nginx.conf file.

Updating

To update, just run git pull in the repository. For the Web service, you may need to instruct supervisord to restart the daemons.
