Notifications from the server? (lemmy.world)

Hey gang, recently rebuilt my home server using docker and portainer and I've been having a blast curating the different things on it. Homehub has the spouse absolutely stoked and she asked if I could get it to send notifications. I honestly have no Idea so I thought I'd ask here.

Is there a reliable way to send notifications from a home server to smart phones? I'm already set up for remote access, but I'm still new enough that I don't even know how to look for that.

I use ntfy, they had some recent controversy over some AI commits, but, for me, if it works I'm fine with it. Havent noticed a difference. Mine is also not exposed to the outside world.

  • SimplePush (Home Assistant)
  • nfty.sh
  • Uptime Kuma
  • Gotify

There are plenty of others. Those just come to mind

Here you have: https://ntfy.sh/

And because it is you you launch the connection is pretty secure.... Assuming telegram servers are not compromised...

The most reliable notification service I have used is pushover, I know it's not self host. But ROCK sold and for a £5 life time payment and with 10,000 messages per month that's amazing
