Gotify is an open-source, self-hosted notification server where you can push notifications to your applications or clients. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Gotify on Windows 10.
Download Go from the official website: https://golang.org/dl/
At the time of writing, the latest version was go1.16.5.windows-amd64.msi. After downloading the MSI file, click on it to start the installation wizard.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install Go. Remember to select the option to add Go to the PATH environment variable during the installation process.
Once Go has been installed successfully, press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type cmd and press Enter. This will open the Command Prompt.
In the Command Prompt, type the following command to check if Go has been installed correctly: go version. If Go has been installed successfully, it will display the version number. For example: go version go1.16.5 windows/amd64.
Next, we need to install Gotify. Open the Command Prompt again and type the following command to install Gotify: go get -u github.com/gotify/server.
Wait for the installation to complete. Once the installation is finished, Gotify will be installed in your GOPATH\bin directory.
To start Gotify, navigate to the GOPATH\bin directory in the Command Prompt and type the following command: gotify. This will start the Gotify server in the Command Prompt. Keep the window open for the server to run.
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8080. Gotify will ask for your initial account credentials. Enter your desired username and password.
You can now start using Gotify to push notifications to your applications or clients.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Gotify on Windows 10. Once installed, you can use Gotify to push notifications to your applications or clients. With its simple setup process and ease of use, Gotify is an excellent solution for self-hosted notification servers.
