I just got e-mail notifications working. First I installed perl and the required modules into the image: apk add --no-cache perl perl-dev perl-socket6 perl-io-socket-inet6 perl-net-ssleay perl-io-socket-ssl Then I downloaded the sendEmail script and copied it into /usr/bin cd /tmp wget https://github.com/lucalandolfi/sendEmail/archive/refs/heads/master.zip unzip master.zip cp sendEmail-master/sendEmail.pl /usr/bin/sendEmail Finally I configured the following commands in Vorta under "Schedule -> Shell Commands": Pre-backup: sendEmail -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -u "Vorta backup started" -m "Vorta backup of $repo_url started" -o tls=yes -s mail.server.com:port -xu emailusername -xp emailpassword Post-backup: sendEmail -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -u "Vorta backup finished" -m "Vorta backup of $repo_url finished with returncode $returncode" -o tls=yes -s mail.server.com:port -xu emailusername -xp emailpassword Just make sure you replace sender address, receiver address, mail server and the credentials with your own ones. I used a fork of sendEmail from github, because the original version sendEmail-1.56 gave me the following error regarding the tls connection: invalid SSL_version specified at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 670 Is there any chance that this could be incorporated into the docker image?

First of all thank you for maintaining this container, it's working very nicely. Are there any news about a possibility to get some notifications from the container? Personally I would prefer email since I'm not using telegram. The lucky backup container (https://hub.docker.com/r/ich777/luckybackup) has email notifications using a simple perl script which gets the required configuration parameters over the command line. It's called sendemail. You can find it here https://github.com/mogaal/sendemail http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/ When the required perl modules are installed it even has TLS support. If you could incorprate this into the image, it would be easy to configure email notifications using the Pre-Backup und Post-Backup Shell Commands. I tried to copy the script and the perl binaries into the image myself, but i failed since sh claimed that it could not find the files although the permissions seemed to be correct. Or should I use the sendmail executable which can be found in the image? I had no luck using it either.
