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
I like telegram bots more. They are less battery consuming on my phone and they sends notification to my desktop PC too (telegram web interface)
I have a script that scrapes the website of a local park to let me know when the leaves charce in the fall.
I made a script so I can run any long running commands and get the output as a notification.
I tried ntfy, got it to work once, but never worked again.
Will try again
I built a discord bot for it. This way I can get DMed right through discord if I send a message.
I don’t.
Yes! Please share the script! Thanks!
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.
True, but the actual push notifications still go through cloud with iOS. So I am missing the point for iOS.
selfhosted :)
Homeassistant notifications Uptime kuma Audiobookshelf for new podcasts (through apprise) I’m working on results from rsync backup scripts but haven’t got it finished yet.
I use pushover, never heard of ntfy.
I tried it and it was nice but ultimately I switched to apprise
That is not the same thing / Different purpose. Apprise can make use of many notification services, ntfy is just one of them.
Surprised that no one mentioned the matrix. I’m self hosting federated server.
For those looking who are interested in my Github repo for this code:
Currently I run ntfy on a remote VPS, it notifies me of *arr warnings/errors, Jellyfin content adds, Jellyseerr content adds, uptime kuma status and also when a new device is added to my Tailscale network. Thanks to OP I will try to add notifications for tracking upcoming sports events
