… specifically, the thing to deliver alerts from your servers to your phone or whatever. I’m using Discord, because it doesn’t depend on my own infrastructure, and I can make a private “alerts” channel on my private server. But I’d like to switch to something that’s not Discord. I’m using alertmanager, FWIW.

    All of my alerts go to Apprise, which sends it to Home Assistant. Home assistant allows me to either have silent notifications in the app I can look at later, or send as a push notification to my phone.

    Mostly Zabbix and my own email server. Way I figure if there’s something broken enough to take out the email internally I’m probably already dealing with a broader issue.

    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.

    I’m old and don’t have any identifiable infos in my alerts so I use plain mail messages. If for some reason mail wasn’t a good option, I’d use ntfy

    For my homelab i went with free tier of hetrixtools. it monitors uptime from different locations and has a number of alert options (email, webhook, etc.). free tier was enough for my small needs. as a bonus it also alerts for certificates nearing expiry, smtp monitor, heartbeat. pretty good for hobbyists.

      Exactly what I use. Both are very low footprint, so they sit on an old raspberry pi, with the rest of the services on the n100. Works great for me.

    I use Munin for monitoring and XMPP for alerts via go-sendxmpp. That way I just configure munin like this:

    contact.admin.command go-sendxmpp -u [bot_username] --password [bot_password] [contact]

    And that sends me messages to my main XMPP account whenever my servers breach a limit.

      Thanks for the link to go-sendxmpp. It’s nice to have an xmpp-native way to send notifications

    I have signal-cli set up on my home assistant and use that for notifications from home.assistant as well as uptime kuma, etc.

      This is a neat idea. Thanks.

      I host a matrix chat server with signal bridge and hit the matrix API to send messages. Basically the same thing but more hops. I might set that up too.

        I’m using matrix directly for server notifications. I didn’t realize it could integrate with signal. What’s the use case there, either for server notifications or in general?

      Just be aware that if you’re using the Android client, your phone/tablet will probably at some point put it into deep sleep which will prevent it from displaying notifications. You can (and should) change this in the app settings.

    I don’t presently, but back when I was working on a large codebase and needing to know when a painfully long compile finished, I used an XMPP client and server.
