In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ntfy, a tool for sending desktop notifications when long-running commands finish, on NetBSD.
Before installing ntfy, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
ntfy requires the following dependencies to be installed:
python3pip3libnotifyTo install them, run the following command:
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin install python3 py37-pip libnotify
Once the dependencies are installed, you can install ntfy using pip. Run the following command:

To verify that ntfy is installed correctly, run the following command:

You should see a desktop notification appear on your screen.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ntfy on NetBSD.
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!
