apprise VS Diun

- [a web service (you host)](https://github.com/caronc/apprise-api) that can act as a sidecar. This solution allows you to keep your notification configuration in one place instead of across multiple servers (or within multiple programs). This one is for both Admins and Devs.

A lot of systems have already adapted to it such as HomeAssistant, Apache Airflow, ChangeDetection, Uptime Kuma and many others (<https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/showcase#integrations>) which shows the commonality. Mailrise is an incredibly talented program that converts Emails sent to it to trigger notifications via Apprise.

*What else does it do?*

- Emoji Support (:rocket: -> ) built right into it!

I tried it and it was nice but ultimately I switched to apprise

While I'm sure of Gotify and ntfy.sh, I'm not sure if Apprise will do the needful because on its github page(https://github.com/caronc/apprise) it lists all the paid and free notification services for integration so I'm assuming it is just a library like the one I integrated for my django api (onesignal library).

Could you add apprise notifications?

I use mailrise which hosts a private SMTP gateway for Apprise notifications.

As a perhaps simpler alternative to send.sh and notify.sh commands, check out the Apprise integration. Apprise supports many notification channels, including Telegram.

Thanks, I used to use it. I moved to using diun to just notify of updates but not apply them though.

https://crazymax.dev/diun/ and docker compose

Similar to Watchtower but without the option to auto-update containers, just notifying is diun. But imo it does that better and more reliable than Watchtower does. You can get notified by Email, Discord, Pushover, Telegram and many more options.

If your apps are container images, then there are tools like diun, watchtower and whatsupdocker, those can watch the image repository (like Docker Hub) and notify you if a new/updated image has been found. Some can even download and auto-update for you, but that comes at some risk of course.

You might want to have a look at https://crazymax.dev/diun/ which is purpose built for what you're trying to do (notify when an update is available, but not install).

Watchtower is inferior to a project like DIUN this way. Because with double you can actually be notified by newer image versions and act accordingly. But automatic updates (which latest is aswell) are bad practice.

diun is very similar to that, but it doesnt auto-update, just notifies but does that very well imo.

I use https://crazymax.dev/diun/ to send notifications of new images. I also hook it into webbooks with CI for mirroring images, but you should be able to use something like portainer webhooks to auto pull images.
