ntfy is a command-line notification tool that sends desktop notifications when a command-line program finishes running or when an event occurs. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ntfy on Clear Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that you have:
It is always best to start by updating the system to the latest release:
sudo swupd update
Next, install Python since ntfy is written in Python:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic
You can install ntfy using pip:
sudo pip3 install ntfy
Once the installation is complete, you can verify it by running:
ntfy send "Hello, world!"
This command should generate a desktop notification on your current desktop.
You have successfully installed ntfy on Clear Linux. You can now use ntfy to monitor command-line processes and receive notifications when certain events occur.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
