Apprise

Ever wanted to broadcast a single notification over Matrix, ntfy, PagerDuty, and AWS SES? That’s what Apprise is good for. Here’s the initial docker-compose.yml I used to try it out:

docker-compose.yml

services:
  apprise:
    image: caronc/apprise:latest
    container_name: apprise
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    volumes:
      - /var/lib/apprise/config:/config

---

Accessing APPRISE_IP:8000 presents a dashboard. In the sidebar, choose “New Configuration” to create a new endpoint that is capable of broadcasting to the services mentioned above.

Apprise Syntax §

There’s syntax for adding each service, luckily they’re well documented in the apprise/wiki and on the “Apprise Details” page within the dashboard.

Examples §

pagerduty://{integration_key}@{api_key}
ntfy://{token}@{hostname}/{targets}
discord://{botname}@{WebhookID}/{WebhookToken}/

Usage §

Once the endpoint is configured, there are instructions for using it on the “Overview” tab in the Apprise web interface:

curl -X POST \  
    -F "body=Test Message" \  
    -F "tags=all" \  
    https://apprise.mydomain.com/notify/xyWOOAt2vHscUJ4kh0nTOdR39aI3g/Wm0p8LODPipnrVMajdwUzCi3H36nINXy3f

We’d expect a notification to be broadcast using every service configured.
