Requirements

VPS
A domain name
Debian based linux distribution
Docker
Docker-compose
Git

How to get a VPS

For a VPS you can try with famous VPS providers such as:

Digital Ocean
Linode
Vultr

Or cloud providers such as:

Amazon Web Service EC2
Google Cloud Compute Engine

For each one it is suggested to run the most economic option.

How to get a domain name

As for a domain name I suggest to use the most economic solution: freenom.com After registering on freenom, register (or login in if you are already registered) on cloudflare, and use cloudflare's name servers on your freenom domain.

Installing the Signal proxy server

After the vps is running, run the following: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker.io docker-compose git

After the installation from apt download the signal proxy from: git clone https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy.git

Go then to the folder Signal-TLS-Proxy: cd Signal-TLS-Proxy

Run the init-certificate-script.sh and when asked enter your domain: ./init-certificate.sh

After the script is done, launch the proxy with docker-compose: docker-compose up -d

The proxy is now running.

How to enable the proxy on Signal app

On your Signal application, go to data and memory menu voice, and scroll at the bottom of the page. There will be a voice called Proxy and the a sub-menu voice Use Proxy. When you reach that page, enable the proxy and write the domain-name of the signal-proxy, after that press save.

Example: signal proxy runs on the domain-name: hacking-signal.tk on the Proxy address text field of your signal application write hacking-signal.tk and then press save.
