ntfy

Not quite as cheap as $5 but I've been running at Hetzner CAX31 for a couple of years now and I run the following services / apps.

Using UnifiedPush with ntfy [1] as push distributor, used Prosody as well with Conversations as distributor which did work but I prefer ntfy because it does its one thing well. [1] https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

4 years later and I'm still working on ntfy. Trying to make push notifications easy as pie. I would have never thought that it would blow up like this. It's still a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot. Thanks everyone for your support and for your amazing ideas and contributions. Open source is awesome. HN ist awesome. https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

Since we're sharing our setups, I self-host https://github.com/nanawel/our-shopping-list, which is a nice clean, simple list keeper that can install as a PWA, and https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy for recurring notifications; every morning a shell script runs over a text file full of reminders (mostly birthdays) and sends me a notification about them.

Thank you to all the Debian volunteers that make Debian and all its derivatives possible. It's remarkable how many people and businesses have been enabled by your work. Thank you! On a personal note, Trixie is very exciting for me because my side project, ntfy [1], was packaged [2] and is now included in Trixie. I only learned about the fact that it was included very late in cycle when the package maintainer asked for license clarifications. As a result the Debian-ized version of ntfy doesn't contain a web app (which is a reaaal bummer), and has a few things "patched out" (which is fine). I approached the maintainer and just recently added build tags [3] to make it easier to remove Stripe, Firebase and WebPush, so that the next Debian-ized version will not have to contain (so many) awkward patches. As an "upstream maintainer", I must say

+1 for ntfy, which is also self-hostable: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

Those who do not want to choose e-mail as the notification method can take a look at ntfy.sh (https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy). You can receive notifications via your smartphone (Android, iOS). A self-hosted server can also be used.

I suggest using ntfy [1] for this. It's open source and self-hostable. It lets you push notifications to your phone like this: ./myscript.sh; curl -d "Script done" \ ntfy.sh/mytopic Disclaimer: I am the maintainer of ntfy. [1] https://ntfy.sh/ + https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

I don't think there necessarily is a default production webserver setup. People use different routers or frameworks, or go bare bones because they can. You asked for an example, and here is one. This is my side project "ntfy", which runs a web app and API and handles hundreds of thousands of requests a day and thousands of constantly active socket connections. It uses no router framework, and has a modified (enhanced version of the http.HandlerFunc) that can return errors. It also implements a errHTTP error type that allows handler functions to return specific http error codes with log context and error message. It is far from the most elegant, but to me Go is not about elegance, it's about getting things done. https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/blob/main/server/serve... The server runs on https://ntfy.sh, so you can try it out live.

Hello folks, I posted here about ntfy before, but since my last post it's been a loooong time, so I thought I'd give an update to this fantastic community. ntfy is a a tool that lets you send push notifications to your phone from any script or server using a simple HTTP PUT/POST requests. It's 100% open source and self-hostable, and has an Android/iOS app and a web app. You can use ntfy like this (more in the docs: https://ntfy.sh/docs/publish/). This will send a notification to your phone: curl -d "Backup on $(hostname) complete" ntfy.sh/mytopic I host free and open version on ntfy.sh, but you can host your own of course. New stuff - Phone call notifications: https://ntfy.sh/docs/publish/#phone-calls, here's an example call: https://docs.ntfy.sh/static/audio/ntfy-phone-call.mp3 - Prometheus metrics: https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#monit

I have been working and running ntfy [1] on my phone for a year now (ntfy is a UnifiedPush distributor), and it is true that Android does kill the app every now and then. But it is instantly restarted. Usually ntfy delivers notifications much much much faster than Google's FCM, especially in doze mode. FCM seems to try and conserve battery much more.

ntfy [1] would work for you entirely in the LAN, if you self-host the server and the phones are connected to the same Wifi. It'll only work for Android phones though, since iOS forces APNS for push notifications. ntfy is also a distributor for UnifiedPush, so you're not entirely off topic here. Hehe.
