# Examples
|
|
|
|
There are a million ways to use ntfy, but here are some inspirations. I try to collect
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/tree/main/examples">examples on GitHub</a>, so be sure to check
|
|
those out, too.
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
Many of these examples were contributed by ntfy users. If you have other examples of how you use ntfy, please
|
|
[create a pull request](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pulls), and I'll happily include it. Also note, that
|
|
I cannot guarantee that all of these examples are functional. Many of them I have not tried myself.
|
|
|
|
## A long process is done: backups, copying data, pipelines, ...
|
|
I started adding notifications pretty much all of my scripts. Typically, I just chain the <tt>curl</tt> call
|
|
directly to the command I'm running. The following example will either send <i>Laptop backup succeeded</i>
|
|
or ⚠️ <i>Laptop backup failed</i> directly to my phone:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rsync -a root@laptop /backups/laptop \
|
|
&& zfs snapshot ... \
|
|
&& curl -H prio:low -d "Laptop backup succeeded" ntfy.sh/backups \
|
|
|| curl -H tags:warning -H prio:high -d "Laptop backup failed" ntfy.sh/backups
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Low disk space alerts
|
|
Here's a simple cronjob that I use to alert me when the disk space on the root disk is running low. It's simple, but
|
|
effective.
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
mingigs=10
|
|
avail=$(df | awk '$6 == "/" && $4 < '$mingigs' * 1024*1024 { print $4/1024/1024 }')
|
|
topicurl=https://ntfy.sh/mytopic
|
|
|
|
if [ -n "$avail" ]; then
|
|
curl \
|
|
-d "Only $avail GB available on the root disk. Better clean that up." \
|
|
-H "Title: Low disk space alert on $(hostname)" \
|
|
-H "Priority: high" \
|
|
-H "Tags: warning,cd" \
|
|
$topicurl
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Server-sent messages in your web app
|
|
Just as you can [subscribe to topics in the Web UI](subscribe/web.md), you can use ntfy in your own
|
|
web application. Check out the <a href="/example.html">live example</a> or just look the source of this page.
|
|
|
|
## Notify on SSH login
|
|
Years ago my home server was broken into. That shook me hard, so every time someone logs into any machine that I
|
|
own, I now message myself. Here's an example of how to use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_PAM">PAM</a>
|
|
to notify yourself on SSH login.
|
|
|
|
=== "/etc/pam.d/sshd"
|
|
```
|
|
# at the end of the file
|
|
session optional pam_exec.so /usr/bin/ntfy-ssh-login.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "/usr/bin/ntfy-ssh-login.sh"
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
if [ "${PAM_TYPE}" = "open_session" ]; then
|
|
curl \
|
|
-H prio:high \
|
|
-H tags:warning \
|
|
-d "SSH login: ${PAM_USER} from ${PAM_RHOST}" \
|
|
ntfy.sh/alerts
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Collect data from multiple machines
|
|
The other day I was running tasks on 20 servers, and I wanted to collect the interim results
|
|
as a CSV in one place. Each of the servers was publishing to a topic as the results completed (`publish-result.sh`),
|
|
and I had one central collector to grab the results as they came in (`collect-results.sh`).
|
|
|
|
It looked something like this:
|
|
|
|
=== "collect-results.sh"
|
|
```bash
|
|
while read result; do
|
|
[ -n "$result" ] && echo "$result" >> results.csv
|
|
done < <(stdbuf -i0 -o0 curl -s ntfy.sh/results/raw)
|
|
```
|
|
=== "publish-result.sh"
|
|
```bash
|
|
// This script was run on each of the 20 servers. It was doing heavy processing ...
|
|
|
|
// Publish script results
|
|
curl -d "$(hostname),$count,$time" ntfy.sh/results
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Ansible, Salt and Puppet
|
|
You can easily integrate ntfy into Ansible, Salt, or Puppet to notify you when runs are done or are highstated.
|
|
One of my co-workers uses the following Ansible task to let him know when things are done:
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
- name: Send ntfy.sh update
|
|
uri:
|
|
url: "https://ntfy.sh/{{ ntfy_channel }}"
|
|
method: POST
|
|
body: "{{ inventory_hostname }} reseeding complete"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Watchtower notifications (shoutrrr)
|
|
You can use [shoutrrr](https://github.com/containrrr/shoutrrr) generic webhook support to send
|
|
[Watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower/) notifications to your ntfy topic.
|
|
|
|
Example docker-compose.yml:
|
|
```yml
|
|
services:
|
|
watchtower:
|
|
image: containrrr/watchtower
|
|
environment:
|
|
- WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS=shoutrrr
|
|
- WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL=generic+https://ntfy.sh/my_watchtower_topic?title=WatchtowerUpdates
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, if you only want to send notifications using shoutrrr:
|
|
```
|
|
shoutrrr send -u "generic+https://ntfy.sh/my_watchtower_topic?title=WatchtowerUpdates" -m "testMessage"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Random cronjobs
|
|
Alright, here's one for the history books. I desperately want the `github.com/ntfy` organization, but all my tickets with
|
|
GitHub have been hopeless. In case it ever becomes available, I want to know immediately.
|
|
|
|
``` cron
|
|
# Check github/ntfy user
|
|
*/6 * * * * if curl -s https://api.github.com/users/ntfy | grep "Not Found"; then curl -d "github.com/ntfy is available" -H "Tags: tada" -H "Prio: high" ntfy.sh/my-alerts; fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Download notifications (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Prowlarr, SABnzbd)
|
|
It's possible to use custom scripts for all the *arr services, plus SABnzbd. Notifications for downloads, warnings, grabs etc.
|
|
Some simple bash scripts to achieve this are kindly provided in [nickexyz's repository](https://github.com/nickexyz/ntfy-shellscripts).
|
|
|
|
## Node-RED
|
|
You can use the HTTP request node to send messages with [Node-RED](https://nodered.org), some examples:
|

## Gatus service health check
|
|
|
|
An example for a custom alert with [Gatus](https://github.com/TwiN/gatus):
|
|
``` yaml
|
|
alerting:
|
|
custom:
|
|
url: "https://ntfy.sh"
|
|
method: "POST"
|
|
body: |
|
|
{
|
|
"topic": "mytopic",
|
|
"message": "[ENDPOINT_NAME] - [ALERT_DESCRIPTION]",
|
|
"title": "Gatus",
|
|
"tags": ["[ALERT_TRIGGERED_OR_RESOLVED]"],
|
|
"priority": 3
|
|
}
|
|
default-alert:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
description: "health check failed"
|
|
send-on-resolved: true
|
|
failure-threshold: 3
|
|
success-threshold: 3
|
|
placeholders:
|
|
ALERT_TRIGGERED_OR_RESOLVED:
|
|
TRIGGERED: "warning"
|
|
RESOLVED: "white_check_mark"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Jellyseerr/Overseerr webhook
|
|
Here is an example for [jellyseerr](https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr)/[overseerr](https://overseerr.dev/) webhook
|
|
JSON payload. Remember to change the `https://requests.example.com` to your jellyseerr/overseerr URL.
|
|
|
|
``` json
|
|
{
|
|
"topic": "requests",
|
|
"title": "{{event}}",
|
|
"message": "{{subject}}\n{{message}}\n\nRequested by: {{requestedBy_username}}\n\nStatus: {{media_status}}\nRequest Id: {{request_id}}",
|
|
"priority": 4,
|
|
"attach": "{{image}}",
|
|
"click": "https://requests.example.com/{{media_type}}/{{media_tmdbid}}"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Home Assistant
|
|
Here is an example for the configuration.yml file to setup a REST notify component.
|
|
Since Home Assistant is going to POST JSON, you need to specify the root of your ntfy resource.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
notify:
|
|
- name: ntfy
|
|
platform: rest
|
|
method: POST_JSON
|
|
data:
|
|
topic: YOUR_NTFY_TOPIC
|
|
title_param_name: title
|
|
message_param_name: message
|
|
resource: https://ntfy.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you need to authenticate to your ntfy resource, define the authentication, username and password as below:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
notify:
|
|
- name: ntfy
|
|
platform: rest
|
|
method: POST_JSON
|
|
authentication: basic
|
|
username: YOUR_USERNAME
|
|
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
|
|
data:
|
|
topic: YOUR_NTFY_TOPIC
|
|
title_param_name: title
|
|
message_param_name: message
|
|
resource: https://ntfy.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you need to add any other [ntfy specific parameters](https://ntfy.sh/docs/publish/#publish-as-json) such as priority, tags, etc., add them to the `data` array in the example yml. For example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
notify:
|
|
- name: ntfy
|
|
platform: rest
|
|
method: POST_JSON
|
|
data:
|
|
topic: YOUR_NTFY_TOPIC
|
|
priority: 4
|
|
title_param_name: title
|
|
message_param_name: message
|
|
resource: https://ntfy.sh
|
|
```
|
