I can look into that but not sure how many people will use this app. So I went simple from the start.

Is there a way to test whether it's working? I created an application token in Pushover and popped it into the config, but My IP rarely changes and I'd like to make sure my configuration is actually working.

[xavierh]

When you start or restart the app it should send a pushover message. Check the log and it'll show you if the message was sent or if there was an error.

[Masterwishx]

@xavierh Are you planning to add discord and email in future ? pushover is not free like discord if you want to get notification in smartphone

 

[Masterwishx]

if you will have time and needs, you can check https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/Notify_discord for info, its using 

https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/{WebhookID}/{WebhookToken}

I've updated the app. Check out https://github.com/xavier-hernandez/docker-external-ip for more info. Basically just change NOTIFICATION_TYPE to APPRISE. Set parameter, APPRISE_TITLE to your title. Set a parameter, APPRISE_1, with whatever integration you want.

[Masterwishx]

Thank you so much , updated and will check it

 

[Masterwishx]

I saw you opened a github issue. I'm going to close that and reference it here. I think this is a better place to learn since there are additional people that can help since you might have Unraid questions as well.

Which notification are you trying to use, the default one is PushOver?

Was thinking to use it by email or discord. I saw appraise mode but not sure how to set that up either. I guess email or discord should be fine 

[xavierh]

@safiedin visit https://github.com/caronc/apprise for more information on the notifications and setups. 

 

For discord you need to first create a webhook on the discord side then add that to the docker compose file. From the link above you can get more information on the discord notification https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/Notify_discord and how to set that up.

 

For example.

- NOTIFICATION_TYPE=APPRISE
- APPRISE_TITLE=SomethingHere
- APPRISE_1=discord://webhook_id/webhook_token

 

Email would be similar to above. https://github.com/caronc/apprise#email-notifications

 

- NOTIFICATION_TYPE=APPRISE
- APPRISE_TITLE=SomethingHere
- APPRISE_1=mailto://mySendingUsername:[email protected][email protected]

 

You can also merge those two and it should work.

 

- NOTIFICATION_TYPE=APPRISE
- APPRISE_TITLE=SomethingHere
- APPRISE_1=discord://webhook_id/webhook_token
- APPRISE_2=mailto://mySendingUsername:[email protected][email protected]

So i need to install apprise app first in unraid? Then use the setting in docker to link to apprise?

No, apprise is already integrated into my docker image. Those commands that you add to your docker compose file, if your using that, gets passed into apprise within my docker image.
