As a sports fan, I recently setup a python script to pull a weeks worth of games (past/previous), and send me the schedule every 3 days via a cronjob with ntfy. I also set it up to let me know when it’s GameDay for a few of my teams from different sports and when they are starting.
What do you use it for?
For me top use is integrating with uptime kuma to keep track of all local services
Surprised that no one mentioned the matrix. I’m self hosting federated server.
ntfy is cross platform and i can share alert with all family members without compatibility problem.
I use for alert me end of linux script ou longest command.
I use for alerting me when my supervision detect DOWN …
It’s a great tool
But i don’t self hosted the server side because ntfy work perfect at this time
Mostly to tell me when my well pump or pressure pump starts / stops, but also events from BlueIris (video) when it recognizes things on camera (its my cheap motion detector lol). I also get notices when maintenance starts / stops on my websites, daily visitor stats and some other metrics I like to keep tabs on. On that note also a ton of notifications from my various web services are sent over NTFY.
I tried ntfy but really can’t find why I should use it. I’ve been using Pushover for years and it really does anything I want. Am I missing something?
If Pushover has issues, how do get your messages? You rely entirely on a thirdparty service in the cloud.
You do know that this is /r/selfhosted right?
I do use Pushover myself and its great and cheap, but its absolutely not comparable to ntfy or Gotify being selfhosted.
Also with local selfhosting you can still get messages when your internet is down.
