Pushtify

Pushtify is a Gotify to Pushover forwarder:

• Gotify: a self hosted Open Source notification system, with an Android app.
• Pushover: a PaaS closed source notification system. Available on iOS and Android.

Why this container image?

When I moved from Android to iOS, I was just too lazy to reconfigure the multiple dozens of apps that were sending notifications to my Gotify instance.

How it works

This container constantly listens for Gotify notifications through websocket and forwards received notifications to Pushover.

It uses the ntfy Python library to forward messages.

If the connection to Gotify is lost, the container will reinitiate the connection.

Requirements

• a client token in Gotify
• the gotify hostname
• a pushover user key

Installation with Docker or Podman

docker run --name pushtify \
  -e GOTIFY_TOKEN=zzz \
  -e GOTIFY_HOST=gotify.example.org \
  -e GOTIFY_PROTOCOL=https \
  -e PUSHOVER_USERKEY=xxx \
  ghcr.io/sebw/pushtify:latest

podman run --name pushtify \
  -e GOTIFY_TOKEN=zzz \
  -e GOTIFY_HOST=gotify.example.org \
  -e GOTIFY_PROTOCOL=https \
  -e PUSHOVER_USERKEY=xxx \
  ghcr.io/sebw/pushtify:latest

If GOTIFY_PROTOCOL is not defined, HTTPS is assumed.

Building the container image yourself

git clone https://github.com/sebw/pushtify
cd pushtify
docker build -t pushtify:latest .

Running Pushtify on Kubernetes

git clone https://github.com/sebw/pushtify
cd pushtify/kubernetes
vim deployment.yaml (edit your variables, ideally store them as k8s secrets)
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

If connection to Gotify websocket is lost, the Python script will stop and the liveness probe will fail, triggering a restart of the pod.

Message Priorities

Gotify and Pushover implement priorities.

I took the liberty to map priorities in such a way:

Gotify Behavior	Gotify Priority	Pushover Priority	Pushover Behavior
No notification	0	-1	Low priority
Icon in notification bar	1 - 3	0	Normal priority
Icon in notification bar + Sound	4 - 7	1	High Priority
Icon in notification bar + Sound + Vibration	8 - 10	2	Emergency priority
