Description

A simple tool to make sending notifications to ntfy.sh or your self-hosted instance easy and clean.

Usage

Example: echo test failure | ntfyr -t test -s http://ntfy.sh -G skull,failure -T 'Bad thing happened!'

ntfyr [-h] [-A ACTIONS] [-X ATTACH] [-C CLICK] [-D DELAY] [-E EMAIL]
      [-P {max,urgent,high,default,low,min,1,2,3,4,5}] [-G TAGS [TAGS ...]]
      [-T TITLE] [-m MESSAGE] [--timestamp [TIMESTAMP]] -t TOPIC [-s SERVER]
      [-u USER] [-p PASSWORD] [-o TOKEN] [-c CONFIG] [--debug]

Arguments

  -t TOPIC, --topic TOPIC              The topic to send the notification to. Required.
  -s SERVER, --server SERVER           The server to send the notification to. Defaults to https://ntfy.sh.
  -u USER, --user USER                 The user to authenticate to the server with.
  -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD     The password to authenticate to the server with.
  -o TOKEN, --token TOKEN              The token to authenticate to the server with.
  -c CONFIG [CONFIG ...], --config CONFIG [CONFIG ...] One or more configuration files with default values. The values in each file are merged onto the file after it (left to right) if more than one file is given. The values specified as arguments override the values in these files.
  -m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE        The body of the message to send. The default (or if "-"is given) is to read from stdin.
  --timestamp                          Add a timestamp to the message. If this argument is given without a value '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z' is used as the timestamp format. If the strig `%message` is in the format string it is replaced with the message after the timestamp is formatted.
  -h, --help                           Show this help message and exit.
  --debug                              Show extra information in the error messages.

Install

• Install via pipx:

  pipx install ntfyr

• Install system-wide with pipx:

  PIPX_HOME=/opt/pipx PIPX_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin pipx install ntfyr

• Install manually:

  git clone https://github.com/haxwithaxe/ntfyr.git
  cd ntfyr
  python3 setup.py install

Configuration

No configuration is required. However a config file with default values can be given via -c path/to/config.ini, --config path/to/config.ini, or in the default location at /etc/ntfyr/config.ini. Any of the long options (options beginning with --) without the leading dashes can be used to specify a default value for that option. For example the following sets a default server and credentials:

[ntfyr]
server = http://ntfy.example.com
user = alice
password = supersecret
timestamp = %%Y-%%m-%%d %%H:%%M:%%S %%Z

Commandline arguments override config values. Passing an option with an empty string will disable the default value in the config file. For example the following will disable the authentication that the above config enables:

ntfyr --user '' --password '' -t mytopic -m 'Hello world!'

The timestamp option requires the % symbols to be escaped by doubling them (%%).

Dependencies

This module depends on requests and tzlocal.
