@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 @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
I have my family (for chat), security cameras (for motion detection), and server notifications on my own xmpp server (Prosody). Private and works for me.
Lots of good libraries for programming bots with updates. Can upload images or videos to the chat.

What specifically do you mean by "notifications about your projects"? Do you mean learning about latest releases by FOSS projects you're interested in? (I like RSS for this) Or are you talking about notifications such as UnifiedPush? Or something else?
@RareBird15
I use self-hosted #ntfy (but you can use their server) and Signal CLI API https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api but if you use a less safe #IM probably there is a way to have webhooks or APIs

"#SelfHosting community, how do you get notifications about your projects? ":
I use git release feed and the Fediverse, example: https://schraepler.de/notes/a2hx96a8ycki0rbz
