What Gotify actually does
Gotify is a self-hosted notification server that lets you route messages from various services to your devices using an API. It provides dedicated Android and command-line clients to receive these alerts directly, serving as an alternative to proprietary services like PushBullet. It is written in Go and distributed under the MIT licence.
Best fit: Developers and self-hosters who want a private, lightweight endpoint to centralise automated alerts from scripts, servers, or home automation systems.
Worth knowing: You will need to configure your own device clients and bridging scripts, as it does not include pre-built integrations for every third-party notification source.
Deployment notes
As a Go application packaged for Docker, it typically requires persistent storage for its internal database and a reverse proxy to handle HTTPS for the client connections.
