What is it?
Gotify is a self-hosted server for sending and receiving push-style messages in real time. Applications send messages through a REST API, and connected clients receive them over WebSocket, so you can route notifications from your own scripts, servers or services to your devices without relying on a third-party push provider.
The server manages users, clients and applications, and includes a web UI for browsing messages and administering accounts. Plugins extend its behavior, and the project also has a separate CLI for sending messages and an Android app for receiving them.
The project is written in Go and is distributed as a Docker image and release binaries. Its documentation covers installation, configuration, the REST API and a development setup.
