It’s got an open API so really there’s a lot more than my own use case.
I’m using it right now for getting notifications from flows in ActivePieces (I don’t want to get spammy with my site, which is the link in the original post, but there’s a how-to on getting that up and running also… ActivePieces is like a self-hosted Zapier)
I use it with apprise and mailrise (email interface over apprise) typically. Apprise is basically a generic notification sender that can send push notifications to a bunch of different clients, including gotify.
So, things like Proxmox errors get set to a fake mailrise address -> apprise -> gotify. And a lot of Linux apps in general (especially older ones) only support email notifications, so this is quite useful. You can also use apprise directly, even as a commandline interface. So you can make scripts to notify you of problems in cases where there isn’t already proper logging and notification support.
And I’ve setup diun to give me notifications for docker version updates. In this case, diun sends notifications to gotify directly.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

For anything. You can get a push notification for anything you can make run a script or send an http request.
