Email notifications of app failures/restarts

[jccelaya]

Hi,

As a business we need to receive email notifications on app failure, restart, lack of resources etc. At the moment they only appear if you log into cloudron.

I think an option to enable or disable email notifications, if possible per app, would be a great start.

Realtime notifications can be quite necessary for business usage so i would start with that, if it’s spammy they can just disable notifications and that’s it.

You can always add the more advanced setting of receiving aggregated crashes in the future instead of realtime.

Just my two cents.

@jccelaya there is an app on the appstore that can do this already. Great request regardless, but you can do it right now

What app?

@murgero I wish Cloudron would have some kind of native integration with self-hosted ntfy.sh

that would be dope, to organize events alerts

[murgero]

@jdaviescoates PHP Server Monitor can do basic TCP / HTTP checks for the apps when configured properly.

@murgero ah, right. I thought you meant there was some secret "Cloudron notifications app" I wasn't aware of!

I think @timconsidine has also packaged ntfy.sh and uses that and I guess n8n could perhaps be used somehow too.

But yeah, just having configurable notifications within Cloudron would be better.

I seem to remember we did used to get email from Cloudron all the time, but some people complained and so they were removed.

Really configurations options should've been added then imho, or at least there should've been more discussion here before the email notifications were removed (because, as is clear, some people really want them - and those that didn't could've e.g. easily set-up an email rule to bin them).

I think in the past we just carelessly sent out emails left and right. I think we should add back notifications but this time with a little bit more thought and customization

I think an option to enable or disable email notifications globally, if possible per app, would be a great start.

You can always add the more advanced setting of receiving aggregated crashes for a period of time. Or things like choosing type of notifications you receive.

@girish it's really required, as well as an option to choose a delivery method for those notifications - e-mail / push / etc.

[benborges]

Would love a ntfy.sh integration for this, much easier to "consume" and stay alert on than email in my opinion

[potemkin_ai]

@benborges for an urgent notifications - yes, absolutely.

I personally prefer Telegram notifications, that are just converted mails.

[benborges]

@potemkin_ai It seems ntfy is now available in the app store :)))

it would be really neat to be able to use ntfy priority management of notifications to on the cloudron side define which notifications are more important than others, so to be able to have silent notifications or very visible popup notification for more important alert, but I guess for this to work, Cloudron should have a notification API that could integrate at the cloudron level with ntfy ?

[potemkin_ai]

@benborges I'm not an expert, but I would be completely satisfied with a generic webhooks that cloudron will trigger and I can then proceed them as required, for example, using n8n

[benborges]

@potemkin_ai agreed, that would make it all super simple to setup, without having to add anything special on cloudron side, perhaps different webhooks for different alerts and then leave to N8N/ntfy node the definition of how it has to be processed.
