Without a user, the app cannot sign in or receive notifications. ### How can I confirm Gotify is delivering notifications after setup? Send a test message using an app ID, title, message, and priority. If it arrives, the server and app are connected correctly. ### Which reverse proxies are covered by the Gotify documentation? The documentation lists reverse proxy guidance for Apache, Caddy, HAProxy, Nginx, and Traefik. ### Is there a guide for updating Gotify to 3.x? Yes, the documentation includes a migration guide for 3.x. ## Alternatives - AirDroid: A device management platform for seamless remote control, file transfers, notifications, and screen mirroring across devices without networ… - Amazon Simple Notification Service: Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a push messaging service that makes it simple & cost-effective to push to mobile devices &a… - Pushbullet: Send links, files, photos, lists, and notes instantly between devices, mirror phone notifications to desktop, and access clipboard syncing… - Pushover: Pushover is a simple push notification service that integrates easily into web apps, network monitoring systems, shell scripts, and anythin… - ntfy: Ntfy is a simple HTTP-based publish-subscribe notification service that lets you send push notifications to your phone or desktop from any… --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/66/gotify), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
