Apprise Notifications

[marcusquinn]

"Apprise allows you to send a notification to almost all of the most popular notification services available to us today such as: Telegram, Discord, Slack, Amazon SNS, Gotify, etc.

• One notification library to rule them all.
• A common and intuitive notification syntax.
• Supports the handling of images and attachments (to the notification services that will accept them).

System owners who wish to provide a notification service no longer need to research each and every new one as they appear. They just need to include this one library and then they can immediately gain access to almost all of the notifications services available to us today.

System Administrators who wish to send a notification from a scheduled task or from the command line also no longer need to find the right tool for the job. Everything is already wrapped and supported within the apprise script that ships with this product."*

Maybe useful for Cloudron Notification options beyond the browser?

Very nice. It seem this library is in python, I guess it will be easier for us if we have it in node.js

Maybe interesting:

Maybe a NodeJS alternative:

Hey all! It might be worthwhile circling back on this. Seems like there's a docker image now. I'm not a developer by trade and don't really know if it's any more feasible to integrate into Cloudron, but testing the docker container locally has worked flawlessly!

@mazarian this looks great! I could see this potentially even being packaged as a standalone app.

I just came across this again because I've started playing with Uptime Kuma.

And because @timconsidine has been writing about (and working on packaging) Ntfy I clicked on this issue https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/issues/1622 which lead me to this https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/issues/1601 which led me to https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/Notify_ntfy and then https://github.com/caronc/apprise

I'd love to see both Apprise and Ntfy on Cloudron!

@jdaviescoates that's a great circle find! well done

It could be a nice sidecar type container that box runs for all it's notifications which makes cloudron that much better by default..

The Change Detection app also uses Apprise:

Miniflux also uses apprise ! I'm interested to have it on Cloudron

Hi, everyone!

Is there still interest in this? I took a stab at packaging it just for personal use it and got it to work. And when I say "got it to work" I mean literally just got it to work:

• initialized a new cloudron app
• looked at apprise-api's code and other packaged apps for inspiration
• bashed everything into submission until it worked

I paid no attention whatsoever to documentation, production settings and the like. Also, the way it works now, there's no authentication or anything, it's just open on the internet. If anyone wanna take a look, give feedback and maybe help out ou the packaging, it's here:

https://github.com/malvim/apprise-api-cloudron-app

No sure what to do about authentication, maybe just use the proxyAuth addon, and keep open just the needed URLs for POSTing notifications? Have to think about that.

Thanks!

Trying to wrap my head around this.. so Apprise is also a web service ? and not some python library?

[malvim]

Hi, @girish! So, there's apprise the lib, and Apprise API, a lightweight REST API that is essentially a wrapper around apprise.

Here:
This is apprise the lib: https://github.com/caronc/apprise
And this is apprise API: https://github.com/caronc/apprise-api

The cloudron app is my attempt at packaging it, which is working fine, although it's completely open to the internet, need to think about it a bit better.

Maybe on the next days I can open a proper app wishlist post, to get more visibility and see what people think about it.

[malvim]

Now that I read this thread properly, I don't think the packaged app will work as people are asking for here, which is for cloudron to use it for it's own notifications. Maybe if cloudron ran it as an internal container and add-on for other apps...

I still think it is a useful app to have packaged for Cloudron, so I'll keep working on the packaging effort.

[marcusquinn]

@malvim Yeah, would need to be an add-on service.
