This is pretty cool! I'm wondering if I could use it to replace my local mail server with it. Currently I use my local mail server for ZFS alerts and backup notices.

What mail server software do you use, and was it difficult to set up?
I am considering setting up a local mail server for archiving old emails off the internet. But email sounds difficult..
I used to use XMPP with a dedicated Google account, but when they discontinued XMPP support, ntfy was born. 😊 I tried some email tools for a while but that was never satisfactory..
There are so many things you can use it for, here are some examples: https://docs.ntfy.sh/examples/
It also integrates with everything under the sun since it's just HTTP: https://docs.ntfy.sh/integrations/
I have set it up, very happy with it! Wish I knew earlier
Ntfy is great. I use it with my cron jobs to notify me of events. API is really simple on the receiving and sending side, you can even self host it.
I have only discovered ntfy.sh a month ago and it's absolutely amazing. Does exactly what it says, it's amazingly easy to use. So far I've used it to get notifications from my Pi, a Jenkins server I'm running on a VM and to control a NodeMCU module at home. It's absolutely awesome, thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words. I love hearing feedback like this. Tell your friends about ntfy, and if ou have concise examples to contribute to https://docs.ntfy.sh/examples/, that'd be awesome as well. Sound like you have some cool use cases there!
I noticed it's missing some Arduino examples, so I'll look into adding some if you'd like.
This doesn't exactly fit in your examples page, but here's an one liner I used last night to notify me when the DNS changes I made to my domain have propagated:
while true; do ping -c 1 example.com | grep $IP && curl -d "DNS changes have propagated" https://ntfy.sh/mynotifications && break; sleep 1m; done
Just installed a week ago. This service is awesome. Well-designed, versatile, and easy to use. Thank you for your hard work, binwiederhier.
Thank you so much! I wanted to have something like this from a long time ago, will definetly give it a try
Thank you so much for making this. When I get the time, I plan on using unifiedpush to do message notifications from lemmy, and allow subscribing to them with jerboa.
Sorry I just saw this. I chuckled a little bit when you said "when you get the time", given that you literally have a back lock as high as the Empire State building ;-)
I'm sure there are other volunteers who can help. I'll reach out to the Unified Push guys.
No probs!
Big fan of ntfy. I selfhost a server and use it for notifications for my monitoring solution and also just for general notifications of long running jobs and such. Good stuff!
