Gotify is a free & Open source self-hosted notification service that can push notes and alerts to your devices using HTTP/2 and can be installed on both Linux and Windows platforms. This tutorial focuses on how to install Gotify on OpenSUSE Latest using the command line.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
First and foremost, it's essential to update the system using the following command:
sudo zypper update
Gotify requires some dependencies to function correctly; here is the command to install them all at once:
sudo zypper install tar curl wget gzip
You can download the latest Gotify release from https://github.com/gotify/server/releases/latest. You can use either curl or wget command to download the file; here, I'll be using the wget command:
sudo wget https://github.com/gotify/server/releases/latest/download/gotify-linux-amd64.zip
When downloading Gotify, it comes in a .zip file format that we need to extract into the root folder to work. Here's the command to extract it:
sudo unzip gotify-linux-amd64.zip -d /gotify
After the extraction is complete, the final step is to run Gotify using the following command:
sudo /gotify/gotify-linux-amd64
Don't forget to allow traffic to Gotify ports using the following commands:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port 443/tcp --permanent
sudo systemctl restart firewalld
Now you have successfully installed Gotify on an OpenSUSE Latest machine.
In conclusion, Gotify is a fantastic tool for push notifications and alerts, and installing it on OpenSUSE Latest is relatively easy if you follow the steps in this tutorial. If you encountered any issues or errors, make sure to double-check the process and dependencies.
