mailrise VS ntfy

Edit: Using AWS SES for now (PITA to setup though) and will setup https://github.com/YoRyan/mailrise as suggested below once I get my full systems back up. After the suggestions and testing, the hardest hurdle was having a VoIP number rather than regular Cell and using without a custom domain (and even different providers handle this differently). Using an email service seems to be one of the easiest methods to use, just have to make sure they allow SMTP access on the free tier. Hopefully the comments on this thread will help other in the future or give them alternative ideas. Thanks all!

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

https://github.com/YoRyan/mailrise might be a decent option.

This project is similar to and inspired by Mailrise. I wanted a little more configuration than was supported by Mailrise, so decided to create my own option.

FYI, a similar system can be achieved with https://github.com/YoRyan/mailrise + https://github.com/caronc/apprise, but requires more setup

I ended up having to build mailrise from source so I could change it to use the nightly build of apprise instead of version 1.1 (which still had the bug). I actually just went back and tested that apprise 1.2 seems to be splitting both markdown and text messages properly for discord. I'll have to build an updated mailrise docker image and try again there. I'll file an issue if I run into problems.

Slightly related, but I've also been working on and off for a few years on my own Type 1 Diabetes management solution (https://github.com/algao1/iv3).

I haven't had time to work on it recently, but it uses ntfy (https://ntfy.sh/) to send alerts and such.

I was thinking of eventually incorporating some kind of automatic remedial solution eventually to help keep my glucose in range, but haven't had any time to look into it yet.

If you go to the settings, there should be a notification category, which then contains another menu "App Notifications" where you can see all the apps that are allowed to receive notifications, but I don't know if this will stop google play services to receive these identifiers.

I use GrapheneOS, so I don't have any google play services running, but for the apps where I need notifications I use https://unifiedpush.org/ (only a few apps implement it) and I host my own https://ntfy.sh server.

Kind of similar, in the early days of COVID, I accidentally discovered that my state's website would have test results available several hours before they sent out the "view your results" email. So I made a script that would check the site every five or ten minutes and then ping me as soon as the result changed to something besides PENDING.

In the course of that I stumbled on https://ntfy.sh/ which solved the notification problem without needing Twitter, and I've used it since then to let me know when long-running scripts complete.

I connect any app that supports https://unifiedpush.org/ to a self hosted https://ntfy.sh instance for fully self hosted push notifications

changedetection.io just donated to the awesome crew over at ntfy.sh

For further monitoring & alerting about critical cpu temperatures (unlikely now) for example, I plan to use notify & something else. Haven't thought about this much yet though.

I've started tossing https://ntfy.sh/ alerts into my Deno apps to get push notifications for things I'm interested in

ntfy.sh

If it was for fun and to learn how, that's fair. But are you aware of https://ntfy.sh?
