ntfy.sh : self-hostable notifications

[thetomester13]

Came searching for ntfy.sh and was not disappointed! I've been keeping track of this project's progress with their updates on r/selfhosted and it looks like they just released the first version of the iOS app!

Is this image being kept up to date with releases? I think the server.yml file can be adjusted to automatically grab the CLOUDRON_APP_ORIGIN env variable so the user doesn't have to update it after install. Would love to see this published since it seems like it's already pretty close to the finish line. Let me know if I can help with getting this across!

@thetomester13 : I haven't kept it up to date, but I will do so in my repo.

Good news on the iOS app - will check it out

EDIT : Just checked my self-package repo and I see that it just runs apt install ntfy into the base container.
So for fresh installs you get the latest deployed apt package.

For updates of previously deployed instances, I am not sure. Will try and learn.

@thetomester13 good point on the base_url

Feel free to do a proper packaging.
Mine was a bit of a hack for my own purposes.

Would be great to see a proper version in the App Store.
It's so just darned useful.
I get morning reports from a variety of servers and machines. and also enquiries to things like Hetzner Storage Box, Scaleway and Wasabi so I can monitor status in 5 mins over a coffee.

Would be excited to see this in the cloudron store proper myself! Thanks for all the work on it @timconsidine, good enough for now

For anyone wondering it makes a great notification backend (on Android at least as that was all I tested) in coordination with self hosted matrix/element. The Android app has an option to use it as the backend, it doesn't change anything functionally about notifications but it does keep from using FCM which is the best part imo.

Firebase Cloud Messaging?

@girish any chance you had a chance to take a look at this to get an official package of it going? Just checking in, know you all have a lot going on these days.

I updated the default server settings to have something more sensible and cleaned up the dockerfile a little bit.

Let me know what you think.

The email should work, but I don't know how to trigger it. The logs always says 0 emails sent. So I don't know how to test that.

[timconsidine]

@random_eric wow great, thank you.
Will take a look

[timconsidine]

@random_eric good job, better than mine.
I wonder if it is now more ready to be in the Cloudron appstore ?

I never bother with emails, too many, prefer alerts or dashboard, so missing email functionality is a bonus not a hindrance

@timconsidine you are on a roll, I will look into both your packages this week. Thanks!

Did you ever manage to take a look @girish

ntfy.sh would be neat to have in the app store!

[random_eric]

@timconsidine
I haven't been on the forums in a little while.
Is the appstore ready?

[jayonrails]

It is not on the official Cloduron App Store, but it might be possible to install it manually.

Pretty sure @random_eric can tell you more about it.

I was getting mixed up with the annoucement of the upcoming 7.4 release and maybe I missed the community repos.

[girish]

Trying to get this published on unstable. I get auth-file does not exist; please start the server at least once to create it when I install the app. What gives?

edit: will take a close look tomorrow...

[random_eric]

@girish
Were you able to resolve it? I haven't seen that specific error in the passed.

[girish]

@random_eric thanks, I see you updated the base image as well now. I will clean up a bit and publish at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/ntfy-app . I assume https://git.cloudron.io/Countdown1948 is you? I invited you to the project.
