Hey gang, recently rebuilt my home server using docker and portainer and I’ve been having a blast curating the different things on it. Homehub has the spouse absolutely stoked and she asked if I could get it to send notifications. I honestly have no Idea so I thought I’d ask here.

Is there a reliable way to send notifications from a home server to smart phones? I’m already set up for remote access, but I’m still new enough that I don’t even know how to look for that.

    I use ntfy, they had some recent controversy over some AI commits, but, for me, if it works I’m fine with it. Havent noticed a difference. Mine is also not exposed to the outside world.

    The most reliable notification service I have used is pushover, I know it’s not self host. But ROCK sold and for a £5 life time payment and with 10,000 messages per month that’s amazing

    Notifications for what? Through what channel? I have email alerts for updates and disk errors, but I’m guessing your spouse doesn’t want those.

      Ideally for things like upcoming calendar events or notes on Homehub, maybe spec updates or added media, though jellyfin already gives us updates on that. Really just a reliable software that will send us a text or notification popup on our phones that I can connect other software to.

    i really like my ntfy.sh server at the house!

    i got scared with the huge AI commit for postgres and i locked my install at the version just before, but it appears to still be doing okay
