The ability to have Matrix as a notification agent would be great.

Also having a section for custom agents.

 

An example script to send a message to Matrix room (inc E2EE) 1 2

duplicate access token in piped url

Should it be of interest, I'm working round the limited notification agent options via Mailrise (uses apprise api).  Thanks to the Compose Manager plugin, it is very easy to run on the unraid server itself.

Would love to see native support for Matrix notifications.

MeToo

Oh just to let you know, I've implemented Pushbits notifications into Unraid which is a notification agent for Matrix-Synapse.

 

Pushbits is based on the Gotify API and is working really well with Unraid.

 

You can find the Docker container also in the CA App.

EDIT: It looks something like that in the Unraid GUI:

 

And if you click test you get this:

 

The notifications are also color coded for Normal, Warning and Alert messages if enabled in Pushbits.

I just had a go at pushbits and it's very buggy and I couldn't get it working. I formally request direct to Matrix or Apprise as a notification agent. Thanks!

Can you please be a bit more specofic what is buggy?

 

I’m using it for years now and it sent me thousands of push notifications without an issue:

Sorry for my question in this old message.

 

But how use the script ( firts message ) with unRaid?? With PushBits? How

 

Thanks a lot

You don't need the script anymore.

 

Just go to Settings -> Notification Settings, scroll down to PushBits and configure it:

So:
- Token: Matrix token
- URL: Matrix server address
But then, how will the room be reported?

And thanks for your reply.

 

Update:
Now I've seen it, it acts as an intermediary between unRaid and Matrix ( pushbits )

And from what I see, there's also a Docker version. Correct? Is it available on unRaid or Docker Hub?

Thanks for everything.

Yes.

Both:

 

Please refer to the documentation on how to set up PushBits, I have it now running for years and it just works.

I trying to install on unRaid, copy the config.example.yml and put the information:

 

debug: false

    listenaddress: ''
    port: 8080
    trustedproxies: []

alertmanager:

repairbehavior:

And I watch this error:

Where is the problem? Because the MatrixID is with information.

 

Thanks a lot

Maybe this is the issue…

Yes, but if matrixid is not blank.

 

admin: 
  name: 'admin' 
  password: 'admin' 
  # [required] 
  matrixid: '@myUser:matrix.myServer.org' 
matrix: 
  homeserver: 'https://matrix.myServer.org' 
  # [required] 
  username: 'myUser' 
  # [required] 
  password: 'myUser'

 

the MatrixID is

'@myUser:matrix.myServer.org'

Sorry but if PushBits says that it's empty, it's empty, can't help here since it is working fine over here.

 

Are you sure that your editor didn't change the formatting from the file?

It downloads the file and I'll redo it.  Although the editor I'm using is VI.

 

Thanks again for everything...

I've already gotten it working correctly through Docker and with my Matrix server.
It took me a while to figure out how to use it, because the Pushbits Git information is a bit sketchy, and their website doesn't really explain how to get it working.
But looking at the issues people have posted, I finally understood how everything worked.

Thanks for everything.

Now enjoy it and see if I can get more out of Pushbits by using it with other applications.

PS: Will it work with FlexGet?

Granted that I don‘t know what FlexGet is, PushBits is almost the same as Gotify in terms of how you send messages, so to speak, if it supports Gotify it supports PushBits.

Flexget is a service that allows you to automate many things (downloading podcasts and reorganizing them, downloading and reorganizing series, movies, and much more). The only drawback is that the configuration is a bit complicated because everything is done through a YAML file that you have to build gradually.
It also has several notification options that you can use, so that after completing a task, it notifies you via message. But the problem is that it uses an older version of Matrix and cannot be used to send these notifications with newer versions.
And this is where I have to agree with you completely. Since PushBits emulates Gotify, what I've done is use Flexget's ability to use Gotify but using PushBits data, and now it's working perfectly.
The only drawback I can find is that you can't send a message to Matrix with an attached image. It's a shame, but it seems to me the problem isn't with FlexGet or PushBits, but with Matrix's own protocol.

Thanks again for all the help you've provided.
