Gotify
A simple server for sending and receiving messages in real-time per WebSocket
Alternative to: Pushover, Pushbullet
Gotify is a self-hosted server for sending and receiving push notifications in real time over WebSocket. Send messages via a simple REST API from your scripts, apps, or servers, and receive them instantly through the sleek web UI or the Android app. It's a lightweight, open-source alternative to commercial push services that keeps your notifications on your own infrastructure.
Gotify Docker Compose example
Self-host Gotify on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example.
It runs Gotify in Docker containers using the official gotify/server:latest image, with persistent volumes and automatic restarts preconfigured.
Review the environment variables and adjust them to your setup, save the file as compose.yml (or docker-compose.yml), and start the stack with docker compose up -d.
