As a sports fan, I recently setup a python script to pull a weeks worth of games (past/previous), and send me the schedule every 3 days via a cronjob with ntfy. I also set it up to let me know when it’s GameDay for a few of my teams from different sports and when they are starting.
What do you use it for?
For me top use is integrating with uptime kuma to keep track of all local services
Here are some great integration/scripts - https://github.com/nickexyz/ntfy-shellscripts/tree/main
I built a discord bot for it. This way I can get DMed right through discord if I send a message.
I have a script that scrapes the website of a local park to let me know when the leaves charce in the fall.
I tried it and it was nice but ultimately I switched to apprise
That is not the same thing / Different purpose. Apprise can make use of many notification services, ntfy is just one of them.
Mostly to tell me when my well pump or pressure pump starts / stops, but also events from BlueIris (video) when it recognizes things on camera (its my cheap motion detector lol). I also get notices when maintenance starts / stops on my websites, daily visitor stats and some other metrics I like to keep tabs on. On that note also a ton of notifications from my various web services are sent over NTFY.
Synology alerts that include containers and security alerts. Scrutiny S.M.A.R.T alerts. ARR stack alerts. Alerts from uptime kuma.
I don’t.
Surprised that no one mentioned the matrix. I’m self hosting federated server.
I made a script so I can run any long running commands and get the output as a notification.
Homeassistant notifications Uptime kuma Audiobookshelf for new podcasts (through apprise) I’m working on results from rsync backup scripts but haven’t got it finished yet.
Currently I run ntfy on a remote VPS, it notifies me of *arr warnings/errors, Jellyfin content adds, Jellyseerr content adds, uptime kuma status and also when a new device is added to my Tailscale network. Thanks to OP I will try to add notifications for tracking upcoming sports events
I like telegram bots more. They are less battery consuming on my phone and they sends notification to my desktop PC too (telegram web interface)
I tried ntfy, got it to work once, but never worked again.
Will try again
ntfy is cross platform and i can share alert with all family members without compatibility problem.
I use for alert me end of linux script ou longest command.
I use for alerting me when my supervision detect DOWN …
It’s a great tool
But i don’t self hosted the server side because ntfy work perfect at this time
