    @timconsidine Yeah, if you install our Server Monitor App, it also has that feature to send alerts via TG, Discord, etc..

    our Server Monitor App

    Which app is that exactly?

    @robi said in ntfy.sh : self-hostable notifications:

    each monitor each other.

    yeah, if you want to be serious about monitoring then it should run with a different provider and in a different region than the rest of your stack. Or even better pay someone else to host a geo distributed monitoring for you.

    For my own use case Uptime Kuma is quite sufficient and can also send notification via Telegram.

      https://ntfy.sh

      ntfy (pronounce: notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. It allows you to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, entirely without signup, cost or setup. It's also open source if you want to run your own.

      Really simple notifications for scripts, server status etc.

      curl -d "Backup successful 😀" ntfy.sh/mytopic

      If self-hosted, obviously change the ntfy.sh to your own domain.

      I have made a first bash at packaging ntfy.sh for cloudron.

      Some issues remain but seems useable.
      Will be testing further.

        Use case example :
        To get a daily report on status of a VPS (non-cloudron), a bash script is run by cron :

        #!/bin/bash
        echo 'MyDocker' > /root/ntfy-msg.txt
        date >> /root/ntfy-msg.txt
        if [ -f /var/run/reboot-required ]; then
         cat /var/run/reboot-required >> /root/ntfy-msg.txt
        fi
        df -h / >> /root/ntfy-msg.txt
        docker container ls --format 'table {{.Status}}\t{{.Names}}' >> /root/ntfy-msg.txt
        curl ntfy.sh/xxxxxxx -T /root/ntfy-msg.txt
        

        which gives this :

            @timconsidine do you think you can add a LICENSE file to both your repos? We just use MIT license for our other packages, but any open source license will do.

                  @timconsidine Thank you for your packaging efforts. You must be becoming better and better at it. I hope you become so good at it soon that it becomes a cinch for you to do most things!

                      @girish added LICENCE
                      I thought best to copy over the licences from the original author repo.
                      Wouldn't want to say anything different and offend them.
                      If that's not best approach, do say.

                        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.

                                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.

                                      it doesn't change anything functionally about notifications but it does keep from using FCM which is the best part imo.

                                      Firebase Cloud Messaging?

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

                                          You can find the repo here:
                                          https://git.eyen.ca/cloudron/nfty.sh

                                          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.
