Notifo is an open-source notification service that allows developers to send push notifications directly to mobile devices or desktops. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Notifo on the latest version of POP! OS.
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
Notifo is written in the Go programming language, so we need to install Go before we can proceed.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install golang-go
go version
If the Go installation was successful, you should see the version of Go installed on your system.
git clone https://github.com/notifo-io/notifo.git
cd notifo
make build
If the installation was successful, you should see a message telling you that the build was successful.
Notifo uses environment variables to configure various aspects of the application. To configure Notifo, create a .env file in the project directory and set the following variables:
APP_ID=<your app id>
API_SECRET=<your api secret>
Replace <your app id> and <your api secret> with the values obtained from the Notifo Console.
To run Notifo, execute the following command in the project directory:
make run
If the application starts successfully, you should see the message "Starting server..." in the terminal.
You have now learned how to install Notifo on POP! OS Latest. You can now use Notifo to send push notifications to your devices or desktops.
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!
