Tell All

Swiss Army knife for local and network notifications.

Note -- This project is a work in progress and is subject to change. Especially the configuration file format.

TODO

• Complete Nix Home Manager Module

Description

At its core, Tell All is a notification service designed for use amongst personal machines and home lab style servers.

When running, it can:

• Ingest notifications via HTTP
  • Compatible with the following clients:
    • Gotify (/gotify)
    • Ntfy (/ntfy)
• Ingest notifications via MQTT
• Service those notifications via:
  • Anything supported by Shoutrrr
  • Local desktop notifications via Beeep

Use Cases

* Send a notification to every device you use from any server/desktop you use
* Send a notification to your phone when a long running task completes
* Use as a bridge from Gotify/Ntfy to another 3rd Party Service (Slack, Discord, etc)

Config Example

# System name, defaults to the system's hostname if not set.
# Should be unique if you have multiple instances of Tell All running.
name: "HostName" 

# Prefix used for the MQTT connection, default is 'tellall'.
prefix: "tellall" 

# Debug mode, set to true for verbose logging.
debug: false 

# MQTT connection string, required to connect to the MQTT broker.
mqtt_connection: "tcp://localhost:1883"

# Path to the file containing the MQTT secure connection configuration.
# If this is set, the MQTT connection string will be ignored.
mqtt_secure_connection: "/path/to/secure/connection/file"

# HTTP server configuration.
http_server:
  # Enable or disable the HTTP server.
  enabled: true 

  # Port number on which the HTTP server will listen.
  port: "8080" 

  # Hostname for the HTTP server, defaults to 'localhost'.
  host: "localhost" 

# List of listeners, an array of strings representing different services to listen to.

Compatibility with Gotify/Ntfy

Tell All is compatible with both Gotify and Ntfy style requests, but it does not support all the features of either.

Gotify

curl "http://localhost:8080/gotify/message" -F "title=My Title" -F "message=Hello World"

Ntfy

Ntfy supports topics at this time, so changing all to the device name will send the notification to only that device.

curl \
  -H "Title: My Title" \
  -d "Hello World" \
  http://localhost:8080/ntfy/all

FAQ

• Is this a replacement for Gotify/Ntfy?
  • For some use cases it might be, but its not intended to ever be as feature rich. The original goal was to provide a lightweight networked notification based on MQTT for my computers at home, but I decided to add mobile support via Pushover and then expanded the project.
• Is there any authentication?
  • The MQTT side can be secured by using the mqtt_secure_connection option, but the HTTP side you will need to bring your own authentication (or don't expose it to the internet). I'm open to adding it if there is a need for it.
