Gotify is a self-hosted push notification service that can be used to send messages to different applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Gotify on Debian Latest.
Before we start with the Gotify installation, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
First, you need to clone the Gotify repository to your server using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/gotify/server.git /opt/gotify
If you have not installed Docker Compose, run the following command to download and install it:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Next, you need to configure the environment variables to specify the database settings, SMTP server details, and other settings. You can use the sample file provided by Gotify.
sudo cp /opt/gotify/.env.example /opt/gotify/.env
Then, edit the .env file using your favorite text editor, such as Nano or Vim.
sudo nano /opt/gotify/.env
In this file, you can specify the following settings:
APP_NAME=Gotify
APP_PROTOCOL=https
APP_HOST=gotify.example.com
DATABASE_URL=postgres://gotify:gotify@db/gotify
You can change the values according to your requirements.
Note: You should ensure that you set proper values for your environment variables. For example, specifying an incorrect database URL will lead to errors in the installation process.
After setting up the environment variables, you need to build the Gotify image using the following command:
sudo docker-compose -f /opt/gotify/docker-compose.yml build
Finally, you can deploy Gotify using Docker Compose by running the following command:
sudo docker-compose -f /opt/gotify/docker-compose.yml up -d
This command will start the Gotify service and create a database container, which will be used to store the Gotify data.
Once the containers are up and running, you can access Gotify web interface by visiting the URL https://gotify.example.com, where gotify.example.com is the domain name or IP address you set in the environment variables.
You should see the Gotify login screen. Enter the admin credentials that you set in the .env file earlier.
That's it! You have now successfully installed Gotify on Debian Latest.
In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to install Gotify on Debian Latest using Docker and Docker Compose. Gotify is a powerful tool that can be used to send push notifications to different applications. With its easy-to-use interface and flexible deployment options, you can easily set up a self-hosted notification service that meets your specific needs.
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!
