ntfy.sh

ntfy.sh is an open-source push notification service. YipYap can publish alert notifications to an ntfy topic, which you can subscribe to on your phone, desktop, or any HTTP client.

FieldDescriptionExample
Server URLThe ntfy server URL. Use the public instance or self-hosted.https://ntfy.sh
TopicThe topic name to publish to.yipyap-alerts
TokenOptional access token for authenticated topics.
PriorityDefault message priority (1 to 5).4 (high)
  1. Go to Settings > Notifications > Add Channel > ntfy.
  2. Enter the server URL and topic.
  3. If your topic requires authentication, provide the access token.
  4. Click Save.

YipYap maps alert severity to ntfy priority levels:

Alert Statusntfy Priority
Down5 (urgent)
Degraded3 (default)
Recovered2 (low)

You can override these defaults in the channel settings.

If you run your own ntfy server, enter its URL instead of https://ntfy.sh. YipYap works with any ntfy-compatible server.

Install the ntfy app on your device and subscribe to the same topic you configured in YipYap. Notifications appear as push alerts on your phone or desktop.
