Gotify

Gotify is a simple, self-hosted server for sending and receiving push notifications, distributed as a small Go binary or an official multi-arch Docker image.

Target: Any Docker hostUtilitiesOfficial homepage ↗Official docs ↗
This guide is synthesized from Gotify's own official documentation, linked above — always cross-check exact package/version names there before running these commands on a production server, since distro and project versions move over time.

  1. 1Create a data directory

    mkdir -p /var/gotify/data

  2. 2Run the Gotify container

    docker run -p 80:80 -v /var/gotify/data:/app/data gotify/server

    An alternate image is available at ghcr.io/gotify/server. /app/data holds the SQLite database, images and certificates — back it up.

  3. 3First login

    Log in with the default admin account and change the password immediately.

    Default credentials: admin / admin
