Send notifications via Ntfy
ℹ️️ 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.
ℹ️ Info: Copy relevant configuration from
global-config(the one without-overlay) to your localglobal-config-overlayand modify it to your specific needs.
Using a paid account or running a server on-premises allows to add additional
basic authentication. Configure NtfyServerUser and NtfyServerPass for this.
Even authentication via access token is possible, adding it as password with
a blank username.
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;
