Hey everyone,

We've just released Apprise-Go, a port of Apprise reimplemented in Go. For those unfamiliar, Apprise is very popular selfhosted notification library that supports 80+ services (Discord, Slack, Telegram, email, webhooks, and many more) through a unified API.

Why we built this:

While Apprise is fantastic, there are scenarios where a Python runtime isn't ideal—embedded systems, minimal containers, resource-constrained hardware, or situations where you just want a single binary you can drop anywhere and have it work immediately.

What we delivered:

1. Single binary under 4MB (compressed)

2. Zero dependencies (no Python, no pip, no venv)

3. True cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS, ARM, x86)

4. 1:1 compatibility with Apprise semantics and design

Current status:

We've achieved core feature parity, but not all notification targets have been fully tested. We're actively seeking community feedback and contributions to reach the same level of quality as the original Apprise project.

Important note:

This isn't a fork or competition—it's a companion implementation meant to extend Apprise's reach to environments where Go is a better fit. Massive credit to Chris Caron for years of maintaining Apprise and building such a solid foundation to work from.

We'd love your feedback, bug reports, and contributions. If you find issues with specific notification services, please open an issue on our repo!

Pretty excited about this, solid notifications support is something that has been missing from Unraid for a while, imo. Is the plan to include this as part of a future core Unraid release or will it become a plugin? Do you have an ETA for a stable/tested release? Thanks!

Official plugin spotted. ;)

You can find it in Apps now.

"Installs the apprise-go CLI as /usr/bin/apprise and adds an Apprise target under Settings > Notifications > Notification Agents."

Yes, this is the plan! Look for a full video on this coming soon https://www.youtube.com/@uncastshow

Just watched the vid... could you guys do a followup on how to configure other docker apps like Sonarr to use Apprise-Go to send notifications?

Does it support --attach? Can't make it to work...

Not yet but it will shortly!

Great! Thanks!

I have something strange. I installed the plugin and set it up in Notifications settings with my Pushover-url. It works great. A bit too great, even...

I get all notifications twice. Once with a number in the title (like 1785442502, changing every time), once without. I switched it off again in the settings and now I get every notification once.

So something is sending the notification as well. Am I missing something?

My apprise-container is running on a secondary server on my network and apprise is only using my pushover-url. Pushover itself is disabled in the notifications-menu.

Thanks in advance!

I Figured out why this is happening - and I think fixed it. If you continue to have issues you can likely reboot your server to fix this (was due to a file name change that wasn’t cleaned up)
