Info: This module can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.

Description

This module adds support for sending notifications via Ntfy. A queue is used to make sure notifications are not lost on failure but sent later.

Requirements and installation

Just install the module:

$ScriptInstallUpdate mod/notification-ntfy;

Also install the Ntfy app on your mobile device or use the web app in a browser of your choice.

Configuration

Creating an account is not required. Just choose a topic and you are good to go.

⚠️ Warning: If you use ntfy without sign-up, the topic is essentially a password, so pick something that's not easily guessable.

Edit global-config-overlay, add NtfyServer (leave it unchanged, unless you are self-hosting the service) and NtfyTopic with your choosen topic. Then reload the configuration.

Info: Copy relevant configuration from global-config (the one without -overlay) to your local global-config-overlay and modify it to your specific needs.

Usage and invocation

There's nothing special to do. Every script or function sending a notification will now send it to your Ntfy topic.

But of course you can use the function to send notifications directly. Give it a try:

$SendNtfy "Subject..." "Body...";

Alternatively this sends a notification with all available and configured methods:

$SendNotification "Subject..." "Body...";

To use the functions in your own scripts you have to declare them first. Place this before you call them:

:global SendNtfy;
:global SendNotification;

In case there is a situation when the queue needs to be purged there is a function available:

$PurgeNtfyQueue;
