Server notification system (jlai.lu)

Hey all, For context, I am self-hosting a lot of different applications on a headless server and some of them are just scripts scraping content or doing automatic tasks.

I've been wondering for some time about how I should handle errors and how to be notified when they happen.

Currently, I need to connect to the server and read my logs to know that something has gone wrong. But I would like to get near instant notifications on my phone or computer.

I know I could send emails, try to use signal-cli or other messaging services but some of you might have better ideas.

Should I use one of these or is there some great technology I have never heard of?

Might be overkill but you could setup and run a Jenkins server to run your scripts and use one of the many notification plugins that are available.
