Hey folks,
ntfy (pronounce: notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. You can use it to send push notifications to your phone via HTTP PUT/POST.
You can use it like this (see the docs for dozens more features):
curl -d "Backup successful" ntfy.sh/mytopic
Feel free to ask anything about ntfy here or on the Discord/Matrix.

I have only discovered ntfy.sh a month ago and it’s absolutely amazing. Does exactly what it says, it’s amazingly easy to use. So far I’ve used it to get notifications from my Pi, a Jenkins server I’m running on a VM and to control a NodeMCU module at home. It’s absolutely awesome, thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words. I love hearing feedback like this. Tell your friends about ntfy, and if ou have concise examples to contribute to https://docs.ntfy.sh/examples/, that’d be awesome as well. Sound like you have some cool use cases there!
I noticed it’s missing some Arduino examples, so I’ll look into adding some if you’d like.
This doesn’t exactly fit in your examples page, but here’s an one liner I used last night to notify me when the DNS changes I made to my domain have propagated:
while true; do ping -c 1 example.com | grep $IP && curl -d "DNS changes have propagated" https://ntfy.sh/mynotifications && break; sleep 1m; done
This is pretty cool! I’m wondering if I could use it to replace my local mail server with it. Currently I use my local mail server for ZFS alerts and backup notices.
Ntfy is great. I use it with my cron jobs to notify me of events. API is really simple on the receiving and sending side, you can even self host it.
Thank you so much for making this. When I get the time, I plan on using unifiedpush to do message notifications from lemmy, and allow subscribing to them with jerboa.
Sorry I just saw this. I chuckled a little bit when you said “when you get the time”, given that you literally have a back lock as high as the Empire State building ;-)
I’m sure there are other volunteers who can help. I’ll reach out to the Unified Push guys.
Big fan of ntfy. I selfhost a server and use it for notifications for my monitoring solution and also just for general notifications of long running jobs and such. Good stuff!
