Gotify is a self-hosted push notification service that can be used to send notifications to different devices via a simple API. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Gotify on POP! OS Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you need to ensure the following prerequisites are met:
To install Gotify in POP! OS Latest, you first need to install some dependencies for it to run correctly. Open your terminal and run the following command to update your system's package list:
sudo apt-get update
Once the package list is updated, install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl gnupg2
Once the dependencies have been installed, you can add Gotify repository to your system. Run the following commands to download and add the GPG key:
curl https://deb.gotify.net/public-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
After that, run the following command to add the repository:
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.gotify.net/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gotify.list
With the repository added, update the package list again by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Lastly, install Gotify on your system using the following command:
sudo apt-get install gotify-server
After the installation is complete, you need to configure Gotify to your preference. The configuration file can be found at /etc/gotify/config.yml and can be edited using your preferred text editor.
Before making any changes, make a copy of the original configuration file by running the following command:
sudo cp /etc/gotify/config.yml /etc/gotify/config.yml.bak
You can now edit the configuration file to match your needs. For example, to change the Gotify port to 8080, find the following line in the file:
addr: :80
And replace it with:
addr: :8080
Once you have finished making the changes, save and close the file.
Finally, you can start Gotify by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start gotify
You can check the status of Gotify by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status gotify
If everything is working fine, you should see the status as "active (running)". You can also enable Gotify to start at boot time by running the following command:
sudo systemctl enable gotify
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Gotify on POP! OS Latest, configure it to your needs, and start it as a system service. With Gotify installed, you can start using it to send push notifications to different devices via the API.
