… specifically, the thing to deliver alerts from your servers to your phone or whatever. I’m using Discord, because it doesn’t depend on my own infrastructure, and I can make a private “alerts” channel on my private server. But I’d like to switch to something that’s not Discord. I’m using alertmanager, FWIW.
I use my husband complaining that something stopped working and then me realizing it has been broken for days
Why you gotta call me out like this?
ntfy, self-hosted offsite on an old phone, it takes around 300mA, ie.less than a watt.
ntfy app on my phone.
Wireguard between them.+1 for ntfy it’s great. I’m using their free servers though and it just routes my curl’d alerts to the phone app. Will have to look into self hosting it that sounds neat, love that you repurposed an old phone for that.
5V * 0.3A = 1.5W
I like ntfy.sh a lot. Sending a notification is a simple cURL request, and they have mobile apps. Also I gotta mention healthchecks.io for any cron job or uptime monitoring, which has ntfy.sh support built in.
Is “my users” a valid answer? xD
Yes. My stuff is only for me, so the only way I find out something isn’t working is when I go to use it. But that almost never happens.
The only actual notifications I get is for updates.
Was using ntfy.sh until it was AI slopped. Now I’m on apprise. But ntfy was superior.
What happened to ntfy? Care to elaborate a bit?
This release : https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/releases/tag/v2.18.0
This is the biggest release I’ve ever done on the server. It’s 14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed, all from one pull request that adds PostgreSQL support.
The code was written by Cursor and Claude, but reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks by me.
