In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ntfy, a command-line notification tool, on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
Firstly, we need to install python3 and pip3, which are required for running ntfy.
To do so, you can use the package manager pkg like below:
sudo pkg install python3 py38-pip
Now that we have the dependencies installed, we can proceed to install ntfy.
Run the following command to install ntfy via pip:
sudo pip3 install ntfy
Once the installation process is completed, we can verify it, and it can be done by running the following command:
ntfy test
If everything is working correctly, you should receive a notification on your screen.
To receive the notifications directly in your OS, you will need to configure a backend. You can find the list of supported backends on the official ntfy documentation.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed ntfy on FreeBSD Latest. Now you can enjoy getting notified of commands completion via ntfy.
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!
