Hi to everyone. I’m looking for a self hosted ntfy alternative which allows file attachment to notifications on iOS, I’m already hosting ntfy but unfortunately the iOS app is very basic and it does not support attachments.

    Instead of asking for a ntfy alternative, could you tell what you want to achieve? Because ntfy has several functions, primarily that of carrying notifications. And it seems that’s not what you want to achieve. Maybe you can find it here.

      I want to send a file to an iPad from a cron script. Currently I’m attaching it to a mail, but if the file is bigger than the max attachment size it won’t be sent. Also in this way I’m using an external service when it’s not needed, since both source and destination are on my lan. I tried ntfy because I was already using it for other tasks, so the server was already in place, but then I realized that iPad app is very limited. I also considered to set up a mail server, reachable only within my lan, but since that seems an overkill I’d like to find an alternative.

        Sounds like you want something like Syncthing instead. There are ios clients for it as well, Mobius gets recommended frequently.
