… specifically, the thing to deliver alerts from your servers to your phone or whatever. I’m using Discord, because it doesn’t depend on my own infrastructure, and I can make a private “alerts” channel on my private server. But I’d like to switch to something that’s not Discord. I’m using alertmanager, FWIW.
ntfy
I’m old and don’t have any identifiable infos in my alerts so I use plain mail messages. If for some reason mail wasn’t a good option, I’d use ntfy
I personally chose ntfy over gotify and use it everywhere
I use pushover mostly. It’ll let me know when disks are full, certs need renewing.
Home assistant for home stuff. Sauna is heating, sauna reached temperature, boiler took a break because electricity is expensive, washing machine is done.
Was using ntfy.sh until it was AI slopped. Now I’m on apprise. But ntfy was superior.
Gotify, super easy to setup, very basic but has everything I need.
zabbix with ntfy for short term alerts and a telegram bot for long-term alerts.
I have signal-cli set up on my home assistant and use that for notifications from home.assistant as well as uptime kuma, etc.
This is a neat idea. Thanks.
I host a matrix chat server with signal bridge and hit the matrix API to send messages. Basically the same thing but more hops. I might set that up too.
I send my grafana alerts via Matrix (selfhosted) and Email (paid service), so either way it reaches me. Has worked out well enough so far
All of my alerts go to Apprise, which sends it to Home Assistant. Home assistant allows me to either have silent notifications in the app I can look at later, or send as a push notification to my phone.
The only notifications I use are for my cameras through frigate so I just use home assistant to send push notifications when someone walks up to my house.
I created a slack workspace. Alerts sent via alert manager to a channel. Also has channels for ci runners, home assistant etc.
Peekaping hooked into home assistant for notifications.
I’m using an Uptime Kuma container which can be configured to alert through just about anything you like.
