Introducing Apprise-Go

We've released Apprise-Go, a complete port of the popular self-hosting Apprise notification library. This self-contained binary (under 4MB) requires no Python runtime or dependencies and brings universal notifications to Unraid and beyond—supporting Discord, Slack, Telegram, email, webhooks, and dozens more services out of the box! Please help us test specific notification services! We’d like to give a special thanks to Chris Caron for creating and maintaining Apprise, and to everyone in the self-hosted community who continues to push these tools forward. Learn More
