Gotify
Your own push notifications
A notification server with an Android app. Anything that can make an HTTP request can send you a push — a backup script, a cron job, Uptime Kuma, a doorbell. No Firebase, no third party, and nothing about what your house is doing leaves the network.

gotifyInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install gotifyWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Gotify | :8880 | Signs in as admin with the password HomeBox generated at install. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- Create an application in the UI to get a token, then post to /message?token=... from anything. One line of curl is a working notification
- Uptime Kuma has Gotify as a built-in notification type — point it at this server and paste the token
- The Android app polls over websocket and needs to reach this address, so from outside the house it wants the VPN or a tunnel
