message-expiry-duration vs cache-duration config options in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

--message-expiry-duration is an option that you can pass when creating a new tier (in your selfhosted instance). It is equivalent to the cache-duration for users publishing in that tier.

For instance, if you are a ntfy Pro user, your messages are cached much longer than the normal 12h (see https://ntfy.sh/v1/tiers).

The naming is a little odd. I think cache-duration should probably be called something else.

Go to "http://ntfy.example.com/mytopic/json?poll=1"

With your selfhosted URL and your topic filled in. See what you get back. You can also enable debugging to see if there any clues in the logs, both Android or the server.

Can you elaborate what you mean by "it is asking"? Are you using the Android app or iOS app? Which screen? Can you provide a step by step of what you're doing, or a screenshot?

Send data in non-custom fields in c/[email protected]

It's probably easy as pie to implement. Feel free to open a ticket on GitHub.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Got it. Yeah no that's not supported. I have thought about adding that many times, but nobody's asked for it so far.

I'd probably call them extras though or something, so it'd be:

{
 "topic": "1234", 
 "message": "foo",
 "title": "bar",
 "extras": {
   "customField": "baz"
 }
}
ntfy release 🎉 - Now with Web Push and a progressive web app (hello iOS friends ❤️), and with dark mode for the web app! ntfy lets you send push notifications to your phone via a simple REST API, and in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Just try it out. I make no guarantees for odd setups like that though. :-)

[SOLVED] Self-hosted NTFY does not receive all notifications in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It is not possible to log to both. I'm sure there is some Unix trick to do both, but I don't know.

Can you make an example? Like, you want to just send custom fields when you publish the message and then pass it along to where?

Open Collective Donations in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks you for considering a donation.

Open Collective does not accept single-maintainer projects. I tried to open an account and had an email exchange with a person there, and they told me that I'd need a second owner for the account.

I can dig up the exact wording, but there's sadly not much I can do.

Discuss.Online reduces infrastructure: Here is an update on how the server infrastructure changed in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Great writeup thank you. May I just say that tmyour original plan was both ambitious and a little insane. And even the current cost and infrastructure is bonkers IMHO.

I do hope you're getting donations to help with the cost. Good luck.

My instance is on the other end of the spectrum: I pay $6/month for it on digitalocean. It has 1G of RAM. It crashes every now and then, likely because of the RAM and OOM killer. But it's only for me and a few ntfy fans, so it's quite different.

Server notification system in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I do cover the costs yes, through donations and the paid plans.

It's definitely fun to do some things, but others are daunting indeed. I do, however, learn a lot. I have learned a lot that I was able to reuse elsewhere. All that is priceless.

Notify via ntfy on new Lemmy posts (discuss.ntfy.sh)
 

Lemmy doesn't support notifications of all new posts for a certain community, so I [1] wrote a little script to send me a ntfy notification for each new post in the ntfy community. Here it is:

https://gist.github.com/binwiederhier/70f13b7c7338a2b75e15438b5567a6d6

[1] When I say "I", I really mean 99% ChatGPT. But hey, I made it prettier and refined it a little at least: https://chat.openai.com/share/7703dbe5-6801-4d5b-8d56-c3f18ca3ac4a

How to notify on every new post for a specific community? (discuss.ntfy.sh)
 

Is it possible for Lemmy to send me a notification whenever somebody submits a new post to a specific community (one that I own)?

I started a project-specific community [email protected] that's supposed to be a support forum, and I have missed a few posts for many hours because there are no notifications.

I'd be ok too if there was a simple API and I'd have to write a small script, but it'd be nicer if it was built-in

Guide: Hide your Lemmy instance from search engines (discuss.ntfy.sh)
 

Due to the nature of the default robots.txt and the meta tags in Lemmy, search engines will index even non-local communities. This leads to results that are undesirable, such as unrelated/undesirable content being associated with your instance.

As of today, lemmy-ui does not allow hiding non-local (or any) communities from Google and other search engines. If you, like me, do not want your instance to be associated with other content, you can add a custom robots.txt and response headers to avoid indexing.

In nginx, simply add this:

# Disallow all search engines
location / {
  ...
  add_header X-Robots-Tag noindex;
}

location = /robots.txt {
    add_header Content-Type text/plain;
    return 200 "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /\n";
}

Here's a commit in my fork of the lemmy-ansible playbook. And here's a corresponding issue I opened in lemmy-ui.

I hope this helps someone :-)

ntfy release 🎉 - Now with Web Push and a progressive web app (hello iOS friends ❤️), and with dark mode for the web app! ntfy lets you send push notifications to your phone via a simple REST API, and (discuss.ntfy.sh)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.ntfy.sh/post/30818

Hello friends 👋, it's that time again. A new ntfy release has landed. This one is pretty cool!

For those who don't know, ntfy is a a tool that lets you send push notifications to your phone from any script or server using a simple HTTP PUT/POST requests. It's 100% open source and self-hostable, and has an Android app and a web app. You can use ntfy like this (more in the docs). This will send a notification to your phone:

curl -d "Backup on $(hostname) complete" ntfy.sh/mytopic

I host free and open version on ntfy.sh, but you can host your own of course.

🔥 What's new? With this release, the ntfy web app now contains a progressive web app (PWA) with Web Push support, which means you'll be able to install the ntfy web app on your desktop or phone similar to a native app (even on iOS! 🥳). Installing the PWA gives ntfy web its own launcher, a standalone window, push notifications, and an app badge with the unread notification count. Note that this needs to be configured for selfhosted servers!

On top of that, this release also brings dark mode 🧛🌙 to the web app.

🙏 A huge thanks for this release goes to @nimbleghost, for basically implementing the Web Push / PWA and dark mode feature by himself. I'm really grateful for your contributions.

❤️ If you like ntfy, please consider sponsoring us via GitHub Sponsors or Liberapay, or buying a paid plan via the web app. Contrary to "popular" belief, I am not swimming in money due to the paid plans. 😬

📢 ntfy Web Push / PWA: Request for testing! (discuss.ntfy.sh)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.ntfy.sh/post/25279

Hello folks,

Request for testing: The next ntfy server release will contain a progressive web app (PWA) with Web Push support, which means you'll be able to install the ntfy web app on your desktop or phone similar to a native app (even on iOS! 🥳), and get basic push notification support (without any battery drain).

Installing the PWA gives ntfy web its own launcher (e.g. shortcut on Windows, app on macOS, launcher shortcut on Linux, home screen icon on iOS, and launcher icon on Android), a standalone window, push notifications, and an app badge with the unread notification count.

Testing instructions: The (hopefully) production ready version of the PWA is currently deployed on https://staging.ntfy.sh/app -- Install instructions with screenshots can be found in the docs (https://docs.ntfy.sh/subscribe/pwa/).

Please report bugs or issues on Discord, Matrix, or Lemmy ([email protected]). PLEASE HELP TEST

Huuuuge thanks goes to @nimbleghost for developing this entire feature top to bottom. If you throw donations (GitHub Sponsors or Liberapay) my way, I'll share them with him. He certainly deserves it for all this great work. 👏

-- If you don't know what ntfy is: ntfy (pronounce: notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. You can use it to send push notifications to your phone via HTTP PUT/POST. You can selfhost it or use the hosted version on ntfy.sh

If I gave you $1 million in cash to spend in 1 hour, after which the money will disappear, what would you buy? (discuss.ntfy.sh)

I have asked this question to countless people (mostly in hair salons) as an alternative to small talk, and it always yields interesting results.

Rules:

  • You get the money right now, right where you are. If it's 10pm and you're in the middle of nowhere, your money will still go poof at 11pm.
  • As a result of the above, tell us what time it is and roughly where you are (big city, desert, small town, ...)
  • You must spend the money. You cannot give it to someone to hold on to it for you for a while.
  • Normal world rules apply, e.g. you cannot buy a $250k car at a dealership in 1h in cash, and you cannot buy a house in 1h either.
  • Remember that getting from where you are to the place you need to go takes time. Factor that in!

Edit: I'm glad you guys had fun with this one. Feel free to post similar hypothetical questions. I kinda like these.

Edit edit: Free advertising 😅 --> I run and maintain an open source push notification service called ntfy, which let's you send notifications to your phone via PUT/POST, like curl -d "backup successful" ntfy.sh/mytopic. Go check it out.
