#SelfHosting community, how do you get notifications about your projects?
I’m setting up a couple of #BASH #Scripts to back things up and notify me about events on my #RaspberryPi, but I’ve hit some roadblocks. Here’s my situation:
- I know #email is one option, but I’m not set up for it yet. My domain is on porkbun.com, but its nameservers point to vultr.com, where my #WordPress site is hosted. The Vultr server is managed by a friend, so I don’t have access to add #DNSRecords for platforms like #Brevo. I’ve asked him to add the records but am waiting on that.
- I’ve been using a #Discord webhook, but I’ve run into issues with rate limiting when scripts send too many messages. Long messages also cause errors.
Now, I’m exploring other ways to send notifications. Does anyone have suggestions for reliable methods or tools that work well in self-hosted setups?

@RareBird15 @selfhost @selfhosted @linux @selfhosting I’ve used pushover for years with success at self hosted notifications. I’ve never tried to add anything as large as a log though. https://pushover.net/
me too, pushover for the win
@remakingeden @RareBird15 @selfhost @selfhosted @linux @selfhosting Never heard of it. Great tip.
@remakingeden @selfhost @selfhosted @linux @selfhosting Yeah I don’t want to add a whole log, just alerts that backups were done successfully or if something goes down, or a daily summary of how my system is doing. I’ll look into Pushover.
this is a command I use to get the local weather
/usr/bin/curl -s \ --form-string "monospace=1" \ --form-string "token=YOURTOKENHERE" \ --form-string "user=YOUR USERID" \ --form-string "title=$(/usr/bin/curl -sk wttr.in/melksham | grep "Weather report")" \ --form-string "message=$(/usr/bin/curl -sk curl wttr.in/melksham?0ATQF)" \ https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json > /dev/null
