Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

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.

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

Yup, Pushover has been great for me.

I like Pushover too. I've been using it for over 10 years now.
