how did I NOT know about this?

In this video, we'll be exploring the amazing notification tool called NTFY (or notify). With NTFY, you can get notifications for almost anything you want, from long-running commands to battery levels. It's free, open-source, and can be self-hosted, making it a powerful tool for sysadmins and power users alike.
We'll start by showing you how to install NTFY on Linode, one of our favorite cloud providers, or on-prem using Docker, a Raspberry Pi, or a Cloudflare tunnel. We'll also show you how to set up the free NTFY app for Android or iPhone to receive notifications.
Once you've got NTFY up and running, we'll show you some fun use cases, including how to get notified when a long-running command finishes, when your website goes down, or when your battery is low. We'll also show you how to set up a cron job for a daily reminder or a birthday reminder.
If you're a sysadmin or power user looking for a notification tool that can do almost anything, then NTFY is the tool for you. So, join us and learn how to get notified of everything with NTFY!

ntfy maintainer here. Thanks for this video, dude! Happy to answer questions. (Maybe delayed though as I am travelling internationally tmr)

Little command line kung fu for those who dont know...if you forgot to put sudo on a command..instead of retyping the command just type "sudo !!" And the last command will be repeated with sudo in the beginning. The two exclaimation marks (!!) will repeat the last command with whatever you typed in the beginning. Very usefull trick, mostly for when you forgot sudo.

[PatrickKalinowski]

Even when you don't really want to use the software or project ... You still want to watch the video because it is so entertaining!

[U_CantTouchThis]

Thank You Chuck !

A year ago, when I first saw Your channel, You became my inspiration to change my life.
I changed my career and since June 2023 I have been working in IT :)
😎
Great channel keep it up :)
You're doing a great job!

[sirflimflam]

Wow, I've been wanting something like this for so long. This is the first project you've led me to that had running within the hour of learning about it.

[QSCP]

Oh that's so cool to see you do a video on this tool!

I have been using it for some time now and got it introduced at my workplace. I work at the ER of a local hospital and we use it to sent push messages to other nearby hospitals (and receive them) when it's getting very busy somewhere so it is likely more patients will be coming towards us as they are running out of capacity for example.

Really useful and so easy to use even doctors can work with it haha. Besides that I also use it for my homelab (in another channel obviously haha) and for example to sent commands to control my smart home. I also use it with tasker which lets you do fun stuff like request the location of your phone or the battery levels and get notified when they are low. Truly the possibilities are endless and its really easy to setup and get going. The developer did a great job on writing splendid documentation for his tool as well.

I'm really grateful for the person that made this and it's awesome to see a (relatively?) big YouTuber give him some well-deserved recognition for his efforts! Great video

[inputoutput-hdjl]

came here for the topic. walked away with exactly what I was needing before with cloudflare tunnels. thanks man. really enjoy your content

[digitalarkham]

I Really want to thank you for renewing my excitement for tech and for learning again. I pretty much gave up long ago and got buried in the slog of 9-5 and felt like I was drowning a bit.
Great content, amazing presentation, and just all around fantastic.

[jeschinstad]

Fascinating. I did something similar in the ancient past, when XMPP was the next big thing. I would send notifications as chat messages. It's very useful to have things like this, but the really old fashioned way of doing this is through email. Having your system being notify you of things via mail is very useful and perhaps more generally useful since you can generate as much descriptive text as you like. But fun is always fun! :)

[jackporter]

Set this up because of this video and I love it. Get notified every morning on whether or not my backups failed or were successful.

[Guihcouto]

I watched this months ago but just now had a migration project where I have had a chance to use it! this has made my life SO MUCH better these last days! Thanks a lot Chuck. Always spreading awesome content.

[AnythinG-iejd]

Thanks Chuck.
.
Also, guyz.
You can add " --restart always" while running the docker container so even after system reboot ur docker container spins up again and your notification never stops.

[bearsaremonkeys]

i love this channel because it keeps me up to date with all the new tools that pay Chuck to get excited about

[ExpHosed_]

Your videos have always kept me up to date with Linode. Thats literally all Ive learned. Linode., You need LINODE for everything.

[TheFern]

This video just popped right when I needed it. Last week I was thinking about setting up notifications when things are done in the cli for example running ansible playbooks take a while sometimes. Ntfy is the perfect solution, great project. And thanks for the tutorial Chuck!

[KyserClark]

I just set up my own home server. Small tip: If you are already hosting something on port 80 on your home server or you just want to use a different port instead of doing "80:80", do [PORT]:80. Where [PORT] is the port number you choose. Pretty slick notification service. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the easy to follow tutorial!

[freckhard]

For anyone asking: binwiederhier, German for „(ich) bin wieder hier“ means "I am back again" and can be pronounced like "bin vida here" :-) Grüße! 😊

[TheMythh]

17:00 i had no clue you can do terinary operators in terminal, nice one. also of course ntfy is AMAZING, thank you for popping up in my suggested video and thank you to the devs/maintainers of the software! deffo going to set it up on my rpi <3

[francesco]

23 minutes of video gives 23 weeks of study to fully understand everything hahaha really love you
