This release : https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/releases/tag/v2.18.0 This is the biggest release I've ever done on the server. It's 14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed, all from one pull request that adds PostgreSQL support. The code was written by Cursor and Claude, but reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks by me.

That's really unfortunate to see. I was just getting around to setting up my alerts and thought ntfy looked great, since it supports instant notifications on iOS. I guess I'll leave it be until signal-cli-rest-api gets numberless support...

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.

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?

Depends...

If someone's just arrived home, the freezer door's open, etc, then I'm using Home Assistant to speak / flash a light / etc.

If a device fails, then Uptime Kuma sends via to ntfy & gotify (I'm trying both atm to decide on one)

If it's something I've (not) done, then my partner tells me (arms folded, stern look)

I use AlertManager and the push notifications available on Home Assistant companion app.

The push notifications from home assistant do me fine. AlertManager webhook to home assistant and a small automation to send the push.

Could use matrix but this has been perfectly fine for now.

The only thing I rely on from day to day is my nextcloud instance, and my phone gets blown up by failed webdav synchronisation alerts when that fails...

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

MQTT and a vibecoded flutter app that subscribes to topics and will publish acks so it mutes alerts on other devices in my networks. Nothing I could find on the appstore would stay active well enough to be trusted. This one is pretty bulletproof.

Right you are. Still much cheaper than a laptop, let alone a server.

Honestly can't remember at this point. I also tried both and couldn't 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
