@@syedibrahimkhalil786I am using this tool from a long time in my Security Operation Centre. I can easily push certain alerts like windows wrong password or usb device connected or specific alerts as push notification. This is really handy.
Little command line kung fu for those who dont know...if you forgot to put sudo on a command..instead of retyping the command just type "sudo !!" And the last command will be repeated with sudo in the beginning. The two exclaimation marks (!!) will repeat the last command with whatever you typed in the beginning. Very usefull trick, mostly for when you forgot sudo.
Yes. More precisely, !! is shortcut for !-1, where 1 is the number of commands ago that you want to repeat. !386 would run the command number 386 in your history. That can be highly useful as well. "history". Find the command you want to repeat and !number to run it.
@@MarkoVukovic0: Yes, I love it! This is the benefit of a system having had 50 years to mature. It has enormous amounts of useful little things and always something new to learn. :) Did you know that if you press ctrl+xe then you can write your command into your default editor to make it easier to read and edit and then when you save and close, it will be run as a command? Very useful, particularly on dangerous commands!
@@jeschinstad another one I didn't know, wow, thanks! I've been using Linux for years but never bothered to look into these amazing shortcuts! Thanks again! Do you use a terminal multiplexer? I am enjoying Byobu after having used Screen for many years.
Thank You Chuck ! A year ago, when I first saw Your channel, You became my inspiration to change my life. I changed my career and since June 2023 I have been working in IT :) 😎 Great channel keep it up :) You're doing a great job!
Oh that's so cool to see you do a video on this tool! I have been using it for some time now and got it introduced at my workplace. I work at the ER of a local hospital and we use it to sent push messages to other nearby hospitals (and receive them) when it's getting very busy somewhere so it is likely more patients will be coming towards us as they are running out of capacity for example. Really useful and so easy to use even doctors can work with it haha. Besides that I also use it for my homelab (in another channel obviously haha) and for example to sent commands to control my smart home. I also use it with tasker which lets you do fun stuff like request the location of your phone or the battery levels and get notified when they are low. Truly the possibilities are endless and its really easy to setup and get going. The developer did a great job on writing splendid documentation for his tool as well. I'm really grateful for the person that made this and it's awesome to see a (relatively?) big UA-camr give him some well-deserved recognition for his efforts! Great video
@QSC0P3 You had me at "run it as a portal so that you can chat to chatGPT". (I've been obsessed with ChatGPT lately and have been using it help me create code and scripts).
Thanks Chuck. . Also, guyz. You can add " --restart always" while running the docker container so even after system reboot ur docker container spins up again and your notification never stops.
I just set up my own home server. Small tip: If you are already hosting something on port 80 on your home server or you just want to use a different port instead of doing "80:80", do [PORT]:80. Where [PORT] is the port number you choose. Pretty slick notification service. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the easy to follow tutorial!
I Really want to thank you for renewing my excitement for tech and for learning again. I pretty much gave up long ago and got buried in the slog of 9-5 and felt like I was drowning a bit. Great content, amazing presentation, and just all around fantastic.
if you do "docker run ---name ntfy p 80:80 -itd binwiederhier/ntfy serve" it'll name the container and you won't have to copy paste the ID. You can also add --restart always to it, and it'll always boot up with your server.
an interesting thing is as this uses simple post requests, I can use something like this in modded minecraft since some mods add computers that can do this sort of thing. I think it would be very useful for seeing when a crafting recipie is finished since in some modpacks it can take quite a while to do so
German dude here, "binwiederhier" is in deed german and translates to "i am here again". So basicly "bin wieder hier" on your channel, enjoying nice dockerized tools to add to my digital home-fortress. Thanks for your vids, keep it up ;) Also as a side note: Due to the upcoming python for excel you could even notify from excel sheets if certain rules are met (for example some values in cells reach certain limits)
I watched this months ago but just now had a migration project where I have had a chance to use it! this has made my life SO MUCH better these last days! Thanks a lot Chuck. Always spreading awesome content.
Thank you for making this video. I took you advise and signed up for a Linode server. The good news is I now have a "go to" place for Linux servers. The bad news, for the folks at Linode, is I am a complete novice/newbie with Linux. I didn't know to "Harden" the Linode and it became spammer candy. I received policy violations within hours of signing up. Sorry bout that, my bad. Huge plug for the Linode folks. They were very gracious I also did the Portainer thing which is awesome. Bottom line, Linux yea, Docker, yea, Portainer yea, and NTFY yea. Good day in the neighborhood.
Fascinating. I did something similar in the ancient past, when XMPP was the next big thing. I would send notifications as chat messages. It's very useful to have things like this, but the really old fashioned way of doing this is through email. Having your system being notify you of things via mail is very useful and perhaps more generally useful since you can generate as much descriptive text as you like. But fun is always fun! :)
Wow, I've been wanting something like this for so long. This is the first project you've led me to that had running within the hour of learning about it.
Amazing video!! I used ntfy to send me a message on my phone when someone is at the door. I built an IP camera, hooked it up to motion eye. Luckily motion eye has a feature where you can run a command when motion is detected. But it works a dream. Thanks Chuck!
I have never been more excited, charmed, and motivated by a video I intend to never use. Chuck, your energy is infectious. Now if only your knowledge were so as well.
Your videos have always kept me up-to-date with the latest technologies used within the IT world; and they taught me a lot so far. I've always had that passion for IT and your videos have really made it more fun for me to get around new technologies. Keep up the awesome work man. You've always made good quality content, just wanted to show my appreciation for the effort you're putting into making those videos
17:00 i had no clue you can do terinary operators in terminal, nice one. also of course ntfy is AMAZING, thank you for popping up in my suggested video and thank you to the devs/maintainers of the software! deffo going to set it up on my rpi
This video just popped right when I needed it. Last week I was thinking about setting up notifications when things are done in the cli for example running ansible playbooks take a while sometimes. Ntfy is the perfect solution, great project. And thanks for the tutorial Chuck!
@@bambo5243 users of my tools can be alerted by notifications instead of emails with the results of the tools... i get notification when a user logged in with a wrong password... I get notifications if anything went wrong on one of the API call... and so on... it's amazin
I use it as a minimal-messaging-bus! I can subscribe to a topic and execute a script, everytime a message gets pushed into the topic. The message gets passed to the script and the values can be used. You can send JSON valid messages and pass metadata around. I love NTFY
Ive wanted to be avle to do this for years on so many coding projects but didnt want to write a mobile app to receive messages from my python programs. This tool is so perfect
Bioinformatic pipelines that run for ages might be able to use this. Sometimes it takes multiple days to run them. This might just be a gamechanger to immediately become productive again when the pipeline has finished running (at least when running locally!)
I dont remember you really mentioning it but it has a web interface. The web ui can get notifications in the browser as long as its open in a tab. Also for those that didnt catch it he was running on port 80. If you have ngix proxy manager or some other similar service you will need to change the first one in the command 80:80 so it would be 8888:80 in my case.
Thanks I really needed something like this for my automation programs originally I was going to make a python script that sends me an email to notify me but it seemed like a lot of work, but now imma implement ntfy on my scripts😃
When you execute `docker run` commands, if you add ` --name=yourcontainer name`, then you can use your container name anywhere that you would have previously used a container ID, negating the need to `docker ps` and copy the ID each time you want to manage a container. This is also advisable because as your container collection grows, it gets more and more unwieldy to depend on the ID for ad-hoc operations like that.
They make little water/moisture sensors. If someone is taking care of your dogs, you could have one of those sensors under the lip of their water bowl. You can ask your dogsitter to check the water if you get an alert.
TL//DR: use @- as the string for the -d argument and curl will read the piped stdin and send it as data `man curl` tells us that the -d (or any --data-, ie: --data-raw) flag accepts @filename as an indicator that the argument is a path to a file to be read. Using - as your filename is shorthand for /dev/stdin in many Posix and Gnu tools. If what you want to read is the error output, you can use @/dev/stderr in the curl command or replace your pipe | with 2| which is a nomenclature for fd2. And you might now be thinking, a simple pipe | is shorthand for 1| because fd1 is /dev/stderr (you are very clever, I like how you think).
Hmm, I wonder if I could use this to have my Reolink cameras send me a notification when they detect motion, complete with the attached picture. They supposedly have push notification support built in but it's never worked. Previously had to use a janky setup where the NVR sends an email and that gets picked up by PushOver who then sends me a notification but some times there can be a delay, the picture doesn't send, etc... Now that I have my cameras isolated from the Internet, doing it locally would be nice and using something like a Cloudflare tunnel to have it only send the notifications over the Internet when out of the house, thus keeping the cameras themselves internet isolated, would be nice.
4:08 yes it is in german =) Thanks a lot for new stuff. By the way a few days ago i wrote a python script which each day send me motivation text. I used for notification pushbullet.
This is awesome. I have recently set up Frigate NVR as a self hosted CCTV solution, but currently the push notifications are sent through Home Assistant which I have no use of apart from this. It's a fairly bloated way of getting these notifications, and NFTY might just be the tool I need to replace it!
dang...I want to be like you. been a subscriber for a while, but I need to go back and watch your older stuff. anyhow, keep the videos coming, and thanks.
OMG, that caffeine had you rolling fast. I would literally have to slow the speed of the video and still have to pause and rewatch just to stay up with your moves. I thought I had skills, your a madman. Props! Do I need notifications, not as much as you seem to. :) Thanks for the video, I love learning stuff.
How cool is that WOW, but i think its too complicated to most people, as for me "kde connect" is best solution for house, simple install add device and thats it. Thanks for video!
love this vid, thanks again! Had to restart my linode instance and had to go back here to reference the docker commands to bring back up my nifty server again. This time I captured them in my notepad ;)
Since I haven't seen a comment about it, I'll just add my 2 cents. Yes, it is german (the binwiederhier part of the name), and it means "am here again". No, this is not a german compound word, it is just smushed together. It would normally be written as "bin wieder hier". The switched word order is because of german grammar rules. "bin" = "am", "wieder" = "again", "hier" = "here". And when it comes to pronunciation, it's amlost the same, but "wieder" is pronounced something like "veeder".
I always get a chuckle out of hearing young guys "pronounce" 'sudo' .... I'm sure you know this command stands for "Super User Do" .... so, with limited phonetic symbols available, I have always pronounced this as 'sue-du' or 'soo-doo'. Since I tend to mentally expand abreviations, it just sounds wrong to hear 'sue-doe' or 'sue-doh'. Seriously though, NTFY is a great tool. Something I had not known about. Great description of how to set it up. Thank you. I really do enjoy your detailed setup videos on different tools you create.
I used to use Signal for notifications from a Home Assistant Add-On until I accidentally broke it and can't get to work anymore with the junk number I bound 😅 but it worked perfectly when i had it functioning. 5G or Wifi, didn't matter, i received end to end encrypted messages when my garage door would open or close, it was awesome
I set up a script that takes a picture with the front camera (using fswebcam) upon login and then sends a push notification with the time, date and picture of whoever logged in. Fantastic physical detective control
I do that using a telegram bot, since about 2 years now. I’ve made a very small function that I set up as a power shell module. It works pretty well but this seems much more powerful
Thanks, so many times I've been doing something thinking a noification would be nice to have, or abused monitoring servers like PRTG where a script wrote results to a txt file, which I monitored with a PRTG sensor. The downside is I need to setup the sensor, notifications and user / notification accounts in the monitoring server, this does not need any of that. Definately going to play around with this, I feel I'm going to need this in the future for some out of the box type solution.
I have been watching you for about a year now. You keep me motivated and wanting more. Problem is my computer got damaged and now I can't follow up again but I keep watching you from time to time I know this is low of me but can you please borrow me any laptop or computer you have that you no longer use. I really want to get back into your lessons. I can't afford school but I can at least afford data to learn from you😇😇
Its been years since I have been using something like this, I have two aliases that either sends alerts or notifications depending on what on the nature of the notification on Telegram. For example if a service is down, I get an alert. If a Linux ISO has just finished downloading it sends a notification. But this also looks like a nice project.
I would use this notified application to tell me when a filesystem has reached a certain threshold, meaning say 80% capacity due to say for example, nix generations that have not been garbage collected and are not needed or snapshots from snapper running on a B Tree Fike System. In fact, I've been looking for this Fike System capacity threshold notifier for a couple weeks now. Great video. Great little tool.

Previously had to use a janky setup where the NVR sends an email and that gets picked up by PushOver who then sends me a notification but some times there can be a delay, the picture doesn't send, etc...
Now that I have my cameras isolated from the Internet, doing it locally would be nice and using something like a Cloudflare tunnel to have it only send the notifications over the Internet when out of the house, thus keeping the cameras themselves internet isolated, would be nice.
I image that should be absolutely possible
4:08 yes it is in german =) Thanks a lot for new stuff. By the way a few days ago i wrote a python script which each day send me motivation text. I used for notification pushbullet.
Amazing 😮
Whenever I see one of your videos I dont know why out of nowhere I feel like going to a starbucks with my laptop and be all creative
This is awesome. I have recently set up Frigate NVR as a self hosted CCTV solution, but currently the push notifications are sent through Home Assistant which I have no use of apart from this. It's a fairly bloated way of getting these notifications, and NFTY might just be the tool I need to replace it!
dang...I want to be like you. been a subscriber for a while, but I need to go back and watch your older stuff. anyhow, keep the videos coming, and thanks.
Mr. Chuck You're awesome!!! Thanks for the content... Once again. You're awesome!!!
i will have the smartest squirrels in IT by the time im done watching your CCNA series. got 3 baby squirrels on the desk in my office.
OMG, that caffeine had you rolling fast. I would literally have to slow the speed of the video and still have to pause and rewatch just to stay up with your moves. I thought I had skills, your a madman. Props! Do I need notifications, not as much as you seem to. :) Thanks for the video, I love learning stuff.
Been waiting to receive a notification from this channel❤
Love this notifcation service. Wish you'd have gone into the user setups a bit more. But you at least pointed us in the right direction
Awesome, especially the added bonus of a CloudFlareD Tunnel.
How cool is that WOW, but i think its too complicated to most people, as for me "kde connect" is best solution for house, simple install add device and thats it. Thanks for video!
Thanks to you I now know about notify-send, it's not as powerful but it gets job done. Thanks. 👍
You're an amazing teacher!!! I'm definitely subscribing !
love this vid, thanks again! Had to restart my linode instance and had to go back here to reference the docker commands to bring back up my nifty server again. This time I captured them in my notepad ;)
Since I haven't seen a comment about it, I'll just add my 2 cents. Yes, it is german (the binwiederhier part of the name), and it means "am here again". No, this is not a german compound word, it is just smushed together. It would normally be written as "bin wieder hier". The switched word order is because of german grammar rules.
"bin" = "am", "wieder" = "again", "hier" = "here". And when it comes to pronunciation, it's amlost the same, but "wieder" is pronounced something like "veeder".
Hi, I'm here because Claude AI said I'd like this channel.
Thank you Chuck, you open a new world for me with ntfy!
but on Android it is a battery-killer
I always get a chuckle out of hearing young guys "pronounce" 'sudo' .... I'm sure you know this command stands for "Super User Do" .... so, with limited phonetic symbols available, I have always pronounced this as 'sue-du' or 'soo-doo'. Since I tend to mentally expand abreviations, it just sounds wrong to hear 'sue-doe' or 'sue-doh'.
Seriously though, NTFY is a great tool. Something I had not known about. Great description of how to set it up. Thank you. I really do enjoy your detailed setup videos on different tools you create.
Got to say chuck, videos with that background music are something else. This is great 😝😎
Hey, Chuck, yes that is German: "Bin wieder hier!" means " I am back again"! Great content! Keep it up!!! Cheers, Sven
Quite strong. Seems like you could use it as a form of communication as well.
I used to use Signal for notifications from a Home Assistant Add-On until I accidentally broke it and can't get to work anymore with the junk number I bound 😅 but it worked perfectly when i had it functioning. 5G or Wifi, didn't matter, i received end to end encrypted messages when my garage door would open or close, it was awesome
You are the best sir, you give us tools we actually need.
Those high pitched transitions accompanied by graphics are hell on sensitive headphones.
Great video once again.... Btw, since you asked the "binwiederhier" container is indeed German and it means: "I am here again".
I set up a script that takes a picture with the front camera (using fswebcam) upon login and then sends a push notification with the time, date and picture of whoever logged in. Fantastic physical detective control
You have no idea how much Anxiety this is gonna save me, Thank You very much for this video, Also much thanks to the creator of the tool.
I’m glad we’ve finally caught back up with 2005 and have a Growl-type solution again.
Oh boy, has computer technology come a long way.
Thank you for using nano like a rational human being
Even though I have no idea what all that text means, I enjoyed the video. Thanks for popping up on my feed ❤
I do that using a telegram bot, since about 2 years now. I’ve made a very small function that I set up as a power shell module. It works pretty well but this seems much more powerful
Thanks, so many times I've been doing something thinking a noification would be nice to have, or abused monitoring servers like PRTG where a script wrote results to a txt file, which I monitored with a PRTG sensor. The downside is I need to setup the sensor, notifications and user / notification accounts in the monitoring server, this does not need any of that. Definately going to play around with this, I feel I'm going to need this in the future for some out of the box type solution.
I wrote myself a smol telegram notifier in Golang, but this is quite cool and powerful.
I have been watching you for about a year now. You keep me motivated and wanting more. Problem is my computer got damaged and now I can't follow up again but I keep watching you from time to time
I know this is low of me but can you please borrow me any laptop or computer you have that you no longer use. I really want to get back into your lessons. I can't afford school but I can at least afford data to learn from you😇😇
Now that's what I am talking about! Good video Chuck! Keep it coming
wow this is probably the first time i knew something that you didnt already know
Its been years since I have been using something like this, I have two aliases that either sends alerts or notifications depending on what on the nature of the notification on Telegram. For example if a service is down, I get an alert. If a Linux ISO has just finished downloading it sends a notification. But this also looks like a nice project.

Don't know about notifications, but you have a beautiful family
I would use this notified application to tell me when a filesystem has reached a certain threshold, meaning say 80% capacity due to say for example, nix generations that have not been garbage collected and are not needed or snapshots from snapper running on a B Tree Fike System.
In fact, I've been looking for this Fike System capacity threshold notifier for a couple weeks now.
Great video. Great little tool.
I'd probably use Podman instead of Docker these days. The neat thing about it is it's almost plug and play for your existing docker stuff.
Yo chuck thanks bro for the info...really helped me out this passed week a ton or more actually. Keep it up ❤🇿🇦 love from south africa
Just stumbled upon your channel, the music in the background is amazing!
Love the self hosted solutions. Thank you!
Great video chuck, but you may enjoy sudo!! To rerun a failed command, you know so you don’t have to retype everything 😊
Ntfy is just what I needed! Thanks for another great video.
❤️❤️❤️Loves your centent chuck
Been waiting for you to cover this one, Nice one.. :)
@NetworkChuck yes "binwiederhier" (bin wieder hier) is german and means "I am here again" or "I'm back"
This tool is amazing. Adding it to workflow immediately.
This is super cool for testing things like CSRF and such. Thanks for the Vid!
You are genius and life saver my friend ALL LOVE
