Gotify is a self-hosted server that allows you to send and receive messages and push notifications to your apps. In this tutorial, we will be installing Gotify on Elementary OS Latest.
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that your system is up to date by running the following command in the terminal window:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This will update your system with the latest available packages.
Next, you need to install dependencies required by Gotify by running the following command:
sudo apt install wget curl git unzip -y
Gotify is based on Docker, it's important to have it installed on your Elementary OS Latest. To install Docker, run the following command in the terminal window:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
Once it's installed, verify the installation with the following command:
sudo systemctl status docker
After installing Docker, you can proceed with installing Gotify. Run the collowing command to download and install Gotify:
docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name=gotify-server-gotify-net --restart=always -v /var/gotify/data:/app/data -v /var/gotify/certs:/app/certs gotify/server
This command will create a container with the name gotify-server-gotify-net and map the container’s ports to the host’s ports 80 and 443. The --restart=always flag will ensure that the container is started automatically every time the system is rebooted.
To verify the installation status of Gotify, you can visit Gotify's website at http://localhost.
