… 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.
Uptime Kuma
Depends…
If someone’s just arrived home, the freezer door’s open, etc, then I’m using Home Assistant to speak / flash a light / etc.
If a device fails, then Uptime Kuma sends via to ntfy & gotify (I’m trying both atm to decide on one)
If it’s something I’ve (not) done, then my partner tells me (arms folded, stern look)
I use pushover mostly. It’ll let me know when disks are full, certs need renewing.
Home assistant for home stuff. Sauna is heating, sauna reached temperature, boiler took a break because electricity is expensive, washing machine is done.
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?
My current setup is Uptime Kuma sending notifications via Ntfy.
I need to resolve the issue of what to do when the internet is down (and thus Ntfy cannot be reached), but it has so far done everything I want it to do. It also means I get push notifications on all the devices I care to receive them on.
For the urgent notifications that require immediate action I use apprise -> Pager duty (free tier) because it can overwrite the DnD settings on my phone and wake me up if im asleep. For all other notifications apprise -> matrix.
I have signal-cli set up on my home assistant and use that for notifications from home.assistant as well as uptime kuma, etc.
This is a neat idea. Thanks.
I host a matrix chat server with signal bridge and hit the matrix API to send messages. Basically the same thing but more hops. I might set that up too.
I’m using matrix directly for server notifications. I didn’t realize it could integrate with signal. What’s the use case there, either for server notifications or in general?
Gotify, super easy to setup, very basic but has everything I need.
I use Munin for monitoring and XMPP for alerts via go-sendxmpp. That way I just configure munin like this:
contact.admin.command go-sendxmpp -u [bot_username] --password [bot_password] [contact]And that sends me messages to my main XMPP account whenever my servers breach a limit.
Thanks for the link to go-sendxmpp. It’s nice to have an xmpp-native way to send notifications
Is “my users” a valid answer? xD
E-mails and “I can tell by the way that it is”
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.
Gotify. Fast. Easy. Private. The messages live on my server.
Also, there is a Gotify app in F-droid to get notifications on the go.
I use smtp_to_telegram
I don’t have many alerts setup, but I use Mattermost anyway and I send alerts into a Mattermost channel. Sonarr and Radarr report when a download is complete. Jellyfdash reports when someone outside my home starts streaming something over Jellyfin.
I personally chose ntfy over gotify and use it everywhere
I’m currently running both to decide which to use, what made you pick ntfy?
Honestly can’t remember at this point. I also tried both and couldn’t decide back when I was comparing.
I think I started with gotify but struggled getting it working with one of my use cases and ntfy was able.
I don’t know if things have changed so I guess try both and see what best suits you
