NPushOver VS ntfy

The general ones that use email never seem to send anything. The ones that specifically use Gmail don't work anymore since Google apparently changed some security settings. And the one that uses Pushover didn't work AND wanted me to pay too much for their app.

check out pushover, I use it for this exact case

https://pushover.net/

I use Pushover for receiving alerts and notifications on my phone. I think the mobile app may cost a small amount like $5 USD, but the service is free for up to 10,000 notifications per month. I can't recommend Pushover enough. It is freaking awesome.

I used to use PushBullet but they stopped supporting iOS which is why I came to Now Push. I may use https://pushover.net/ instead, there doesn't seem to be a ton of alternatives.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'd just use Pushover.

I use Pushover for my iOS devices, it's absolutely solid and affordable. :)

I'm using Pushover but I don't think the transport matters. By default it sends you a mib code but you can customize the notifications with templates. Here are couple examples.

I use diun. I configured it to notify me of available updates via pushover. I then update my containers when I have time to ensure they've restarted correctly. The whole process takes maybe a minute or two and I never worry about something failing silently.

I'm playing with an esp8266 providing WiFi to an Arduino with this library. I have it set up properly to POST to Pushover as well as requestbin, and between the debug output and the interface from these tools, I can verify that the request data is being POSTed properly, and the esp8266 / arduino unit's response status code properly shows 200.

How about a Pushover or similar implementation? Thanks for your initiative!

Great idea! Right now we recommend https://ntfy.sh/ but you're right, we probably should do it bundled into the service

I maintain an open source push notification service called ntfy [1]. It's 100% open source, but I have recently started offering ntfy Pro, a paid SaaS offering.

I am telling you it's super hard to get people to pay for it. It may be because the free tier is too generous, or because I don't aggressively push or market it, but most likely it's because people can just selfhost it. I have 25k active daily users for the free tier, and probably hundreds or thousands of selfhosted installations, yet as of today, I have only 20 paying subscribers. It's quite brutal.

The worst part is that ever since I started offering paid subscriptions, donations have reduced and new donations have pretty much stopped, because people think I'm making bank with the paid stuff.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but it gives you the perspective you may be actually seeking. It's definitely hard to pull off.

Hello friends 👋, I posted here about ntfy a few times before, but since my last post on r/selfhosted it's been a loooong time, so I thought I'd give an update to this fantastic community.

May I ask what you think about the MFA push proposal? 🥺

Hello friend, and thanks for using ntfy. This is probably a question best answered in r/ntfy, or Discord/Matrix, but I'll do my best here.

Hey folks 👋, today I released the new website for my open source push notification tool ntfy.sh. ntfy is a a tool that lets you send push notifications to your phone from any script or server using a simple HTTP PUT/POST requests. It's 100% open source and self-hostable, and has a clients for Android/iOS/web/macOS/Windows/Linux.

If you do not need the state tracking, but instead need something that can deliver push notifications to you, check out ntfy and gotify
