My hosting stack seems to be similar to yours. In addition to the services themselves, I run a watchtower container to check for new images for me, which then notifies me through yet another selfhosted solution: gotify. I have watchtower setup not to automatically recreate the containers (I've been bitten by postgres updates a few times too many). Speaking of Wireguard: I've been looking for a web-based management interface to define Wireguard networks with (using the server it runs on as a sort of central "hun"), but haven't yet found anything I really like and/or found simple enough to use. What does your Wireguard setup look like? Watchtower: https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower Gotify: https://github.com/gotify/server

From what I can tell it appears to be a replacement FCM/APNS. The client subscribes directly via websocket to a self-hosted server (Go binary). New messages in the queue are then notified (gotified) via the websocket. https://gotify.net/api-docs#/message/streamMessages The payload can be picked up and managed via REST API as well. I'm building a similar solution for a slightly different usecase, so wanted to have a look under the hood. There's nothing I can see that would stop you using this for iOS so maybe they just don't have a iOS dev on the project. Edit: Ah, here's why. https://github.com/gotify/server/issues/87
