goreleaser VS Gotify

With "xq", I went even further and automated the release process using GoReleaser. To publish a new release, the only thing I need is to create and push the Git tag. The corresponding GitHub Action will trigger a release process, and GoReleaser prepares the binaries and changelog based on declared conventions. The result has a high level of predictability, and no manual work is required.

Things I can't live without in a new Go project in no particular order:

- https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint - meta-linter

- https://goreleaser.com - automate release workflows

- https://magefile.org - build tool that can version your tools

- https://github.com/ory/dockertest/v3 - run containers for e2e testing

- https://github.com/ecordell/optgen - generate functional options

- https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer - generate String()

- https://mvdan.cc/gofumpt - stricter gofmt

- https://github.com/stretchr/testify - test assertion library

- https://github.com/rs/zerolog - logging

- https://github.com/spf13/cobra - CLI framework

FWIW, I just lifted all the tools we use for https://github.com/authzed/spicedb

We've also written some custom linters that might be useful for other folks: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/tree/main/tools/analyzers

Goreleaser is nice. https://goreleaser.com/

I use goreleaser for packaging my binaries. I'm not currently doing RPM, but it does a lot of services and if you don't hunker down on a single solution, it might help with keeping your releases up to date/in sync.

We also started using goreleaser to build our binaries and package them for linux (and mac universal binaries). Makes building and packaging releases easy.

There's some packaging issues, for example, we've always wanted to publish deb/rpm packages, but never got around to adding it to either promu or completely switching our build tooling over to GoReleaser.

The project is at https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser - It can create homebrew taps and all that sort of stuff to make distribution easier.

Building binaries works easily by cross-compiling (just set `GOOS=`) to build for other OSes. If you want a tool to help you with that (and automate more of the release process), you could take a look at https://goreleaser.com/.

More recently, a lot of my pipeline pain is handled by GoReleaser, but before GoReleaser matured, I got up to all sorts of shenanigans to get a workable toolchain, e.g. neilotoole/xcgo.

I use apprise with Gotify

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

Gotify (version 2.5.1): A client for receiving push notifications

I've found Gotify to work well for that

Just FYI - there's also shoutrrr and gotify with similar functionality. I've tried them, they're very good, but not fitting my (very humble) needs.

Been looking for something for push notifications for a while now. How is ntfy working out for you? Have you ever used gotify?

You can self host a Gotify server (single file executable, web interface), install the app, set it to connect to the server on the local network. Sending a message is as easy as a curl to the server. It will show up in the apps.

The problem is that there is no iOS app. You could use the browser there but maybe ntfy would be a better fit (Android + iOS.)
