# FritzAB2Matrix __FritzAB2Matrix__ reads out the answering machine (_TAM_) of a _Fritz!Box_ in your LAN and posts the messages into a private chat in the __matrix__ network. While you could let your _Fritz!Box_ send the messages by mail - unencrypted of course - the matrix chat is __e2e encrypted__. Which kindly acknowledges the privacy of any caller that leaves a message for you. Uses the python based cmd-line-tool [matrix-commander](https://github.com/8go/matrix-commander) so the matrix-commander.py in this repo is just a copy of that file to ease testing. ## Installation If you like to test this repository you are recommended to use one of the following two options. ### Necessary preparations for both cases * Create a new user (e.g. "fritzab") in your _Fritz!Box_. **Don't use your default admin account!** * This user needs only the privileges regarding voice messages and to read from box's storage. * As you only need to access the _FRITZ/voicebox/rec/_ path you should remove the right to read and write everything and add only this path and only with reading privilege. * You have to activate __Call Monitoring__ on your _Fritz!Box_ by using one of the connected phones and call `#96*5*`. * Call monitoring watches the box and the __FritzAB2Matrix__ is triggered every time a call disconnects. * If you cannot activate Call Monitoring the only way to use __FritzAB2MAtrix__ will be to have a cron job call it regularly. ### virtualenv * Create a new folder wherever you like in your home directory. * Make it a virtual environment by `python3 -m venv ` and `source /bin/activate`. * `cd ` * Clone the repo. * Inside the repo run `pip install --update pip && pip install -r requirements.txt` * Create an `.env` file with your favourite editor: ``` FRITZ_USERNAME="fritzab" FRITZ_PASSWORD="SomeRand0mPa55word" FRITZ_IP="192.168.178.1" FRITZ_TMP="/tmp" ``` __.env__ * * Adjust it according to your data. * For matrix-commander.py to work you need to run it manually the first time by `python3 matrix-commander` and follow the emerging dialog by putting in your matrix account data. * After all that you can finally run `./fritzab2matrix.py` and your TAM messages should be posted in the chosen matrix chat. ### Docker Provided you have docker and docker-compose installed on your system: * Clone the repo and cd into it. * Create the above mentioned `.env` file. * Run `docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml build` and watch docker work some minutes. * After that slightly edit the `docker-compose.yml` * and add ``` volumes: - ../.:/app ``` * * so that your repo is used as volume for the `/app` folder. So everything you change in the repo's folder will affect the docker container. * For __matrix-commander.py__ to work you need to run it manually the first time by `python3 matrix-commander` and follow the emerging dialog by putting in your matrix account data. * With docker that means that you need to open an _interactive shell_ in the running container (`docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec app /bin/bash` and run this command there. * Follow the appearing dialog and input your matrix account data. * After all that the running docker container should watch your box and your TAM messages should be posted in the chosen matrix chat. ### Special Thx Gratitude to all people that enabled that project by their passionate work and will to share it!
