… 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.
I use my husband complaining that something stopped working and then me realizing it has been broken for days
Why you gotta call me out like this?
ntfy, self-hosted offsite on an old phone, it takes around 300mA, ie.less than a watt.
ntfy app on my phone.
Wireguard between them.5V * 0.3A = 1.5W
+1 for ntfy it’s great. I’m using their free servers though and it just routes my curl’d alerts to the phone app. Will have to look into self hosting it that sounds neat, love that you repurposed an old phone for that.
I like ntfy.sh a lot. Sending a notification is a simple cURL request, and they have mobile apps. Also I gotta mention healthchecks.io for any cron job or uptime monitoring, which has ntfy.sh support built in.
