You could get notified with a PR to update a version with renovate.
(Assuming you have your selfhosting configurations checked into source control, which I realize as I'm typing this that it might not be the norm...)
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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).

that's a good idea. i have some of my configurations under version control, but mostly on codeberg. not sure how renovate integrates there...
Is there any way to get those notifictions over selfhosted gotify?
You can get the rss of new releases with rss, and use rss plugin for Gotify
https://github.com/solarkennedy/gotify-rss
https://piraces.dev/short-bits/github-releases-feed-atom/
May I ask for some help please. I dont know how to use this command:
$ make GOTIFY_VERSION="v2.0.5" FILE_SUFFIX="for-gotify-v2.0.5" build
Where should I type that? How can I build that plugin?
make GOTIFY_VERSION="v2.0.5" FILE_SUFFIX="for-gotify-v2.0.5" build
Use the gotify version according to the one installed on your system.
EX: make GOTIFY_VERSION="v2.4.0" FILE_SUFFIX="for-gotify-v2.4.0" build
for the latest release
the on build/
you should have some .so
files, copy the one for your machine arch to gotify plugins dir data/plugins
where a build for gotify v2.4.0 https://nowtransfer.de/3460c8e86670
copy only the one needed
Copying your file to data/plugins worked! Now just have to wait for next feed to test it out. Thank you again <3
Still don't know how to use command tho :D Sorry, I'm noob. Was trying to enter that command in terminal, but I get:
make: *** No rule to make target 'build'. Stop.
Assuming you are on a Debian/Ubuntu based distro, make sure you have the following packages installed build-essential
golang
However Gotify recomends using docker to build plugins
https://gotify.net/docs/plugin-deploy#with-docker-recommended
Thank you! I use Debian 11, installed make, build-essential and golang, and still receiving the same message (feels like I should learn how to use these packages first).
Using your file was working, but unfortunately gotify container just stops after some time. I was reading the docs and I must admit I don't understand a tiny bit :D. Spinning gotify server in docker container was super easy tho. I'd like to get this working, but feels bad for taking your time mate, and I even stole the thread (Sorry OP) lol.
Thank you a lot, Ill try it out
Why not just subscribe to the release notifications or use the releases atom feed?
I do it that way. Enable email notifications for new tagged releases, something arrives, check changelog, everything fine?
docker-compose pull; docker-compose down; docker-compose up -d
And we are done
FYI, docker-compose
is the legacy version that was deprecated a few years ago and no longer receives updates. docker compose
(with a space instead of a hyphen) is what you should be using these days.
You don’t need to run docker-compose down.
docker-compose pull; docker-compose up -d is enough
I guess that's fair for single service composes but I don't really trust composes with multiple services to gracefully handle only recreating one of the containers
You can docker compose up -d <service>
to (re)create only one service from your Dockerfile
If only one container has been updated then when you run docker compose up -d it will only recreate that container, unless it is a dependency of another container (like a database) in which case it will restart all containers that depend on it as well.
The bot consumes the atom feed of a repository, but I don't use a feed reader. you could also just let Github notify you for new releases. But I don't pay much attention to github notifications either. I'm a lot more likely to notice something like that if it's integrated into my social media consumption.
That makes sense. Pretty cool, nice work!
Off the top of my head, boosting, voting, and discussion.
Yeah, good point!
Exactly, I don't get the "Mastodon as a poor man's RSS agregator" trend
I wasn't trying to throw shade here. I was just genuinely curious about OPs motivations for doing this. It's totally reasonable that they could have a use case where this solution makes the most sense.
