… 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
I use pushover for everything alerting, from home assistant to nagios.
A 1 time payment and you get 10,000 alerts a month
Just be aware that if you’re using the Android client, your phone/tablet will probably at some point put it into deep sleep which will prevent it from displaying notifications. You can (and should) change this in the app settings.
Gotify, super easy to setup, very basic but has everything I need.
I am running an alertmanager instance which sends the alarms to telegram using a bot account.
Same, but I send them to my gotify instance.
Mostly Zabbix and my own email server. Way I figure if there’s something broken enough to take out the email internally I’m probably already dealing with a broader issue.
Gotify. Fast. Easy. Private. The messages live on my server.
Also, there is a Gotify app in F-droid to get notifications on the go.
monit + email
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.
My current setup is Uptime Kuma sending notifications via Ntfy.
I need to resolve the issue of what to do when the internet is down (and thus Ntfy cannot be reached), but it has so far done everything I want it to do. It also means I get push notifications on all the devices I care to receive them on.
I use smtp_to_telegram
for my homelab i went with free tier of hetrixtools. it monitors uptime from different locations and has a number of alert options (email, webhook, etc.). free tier was enough for my small needs. as a bonus it also alerts for certificates nearing expiry, smtp monitor, heartbeat. pretty good for hobbyists.
I personally chose ntfy over gotify and use it everywhere
I’m currently running both to decide which to use, what made you pick ntfy?
Honestly can’t remember at this point. I also tried both and could decide back when I was comparing. I think I started with gotify but struggled getting it working with one of my use cases and ntfy was able.
I don’t know if things have changed so I guess try both and see what best suits you
I created a slack workspace. Alerts sent via alert manager to a channel. Also has channels for ci runners, home assistant etc.
