¶ What is Gotify?
Gotify is a free and open source project that lets you control your data and communicate via a REST-API and a web socket.
¶ Docker Compose
services:
server:
ports:
- 8001:80
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: gotify
volumes:
- /mnt/tank/configs/gotify:/app/data
image: gotify/server
¶ Logging In
- The default credentials are
admin:admin - Once you login, click the name ADMIN on the purple bar at the top to change the password.
¶ Apps
To create a way for your services to talk to you, each service should be its own “app”. Go to the APPS section on the header and make one app per service.
On the client side, it will ask you for your server IP or URL and the app or API token, which you can copy and paste after revealing it by clicking the eye incon shown above.
You’ll notice my apps have nice icons which represent the service they are named for. To change the icon, click the cloud logo next to it and upload a saved image. You can find icons like the ones I have here at https://selfh.st/icons/
¶ Emby
Emby needs some special steps to use Gotify which other apps do not. Steps are below (copied from here):
- Download the .dll plugin here.
- Put it in the “plugins” folder of your Emby Server and restart Emby Server.
- The plugin should now show up in your Emby Server management page under Advanced > Plugins.
- Configure the plugin by heading to the new Notification section under User settings.
- Click the “+ Add Notification” button and choose “Gotify”
¶ TrueNAS
We need to deploy a custom app for this to work. Use the YAML file below, entering in your IP address and token for Gotify:
services:
gotify-truenas:
environment:
- GOTIFY_URL=
- GOTIFY_TOKEN=
image: ghcr.io/ztube/truenas-gotify-adapter:main
network_mode: host
restart: unless-stopped
