#SelfHosting community, how do you get notifications about your projects?
I’m setting up a couple of #BASH #Scripts to back things up and notify me about events on my #RaspberryPi, but I’ve hit some roadblocks. Here’s my situation:
- I know #email is one option, but I’m not set up for it yet. My domain is on porkbun.com, but its nameservers point to vultr.com, where my #WordPress site is hosted. The Vultr server is managed by a friend, so I don’t have access to add #DNSRecords for platforms like #Brevo. I’ve asked him to add the records but am waiting on that.
- I’ve been using a #Discord webhook, but I’ve run into issues with rate limiting when scripts send too many messages. Long messages also cause errors.
Now, I’m exploring other ways to send notifications. Does anyone have suggestions for reliable methods or tools that work well in self-hosted setups?

@RareBird15 @selfhost @selfhosted @linux @selfhosting I’m using webhooks to a private slack at the moment - easy to write, I’m running the desktop/mobile app already, gives me notifications and history, different channels for different alert levels etc. Haven’t gone near rate limiting rates though.
