Thanks for the mention! It's satisfying to know so many people find my little utility useful.

It looks like my previous comment got removed because I added a link to the showcase part of my GitHub page (Apprise). I appeared to have broke some terms and conditions by doing this (oops). The reason I did it was to show that added a link back to your KZfaq video here (I hope you don't mind). Just a recap; I'm the developer of Apprise ;). Anyway, I'll just thank you again for your kind sharing of my library through this great video. Keep up your awesome work!

Fantastic!!! This is exactly what I have been looking for. Your post has been timely and thorough. Thanks Brandon!

This is awesome, I was looking to replace postfix in my lab and this will work perfectly. I decided to use docker and got it working.

This is something I should be able to use in a few weeks when I get my home lab reconfigured. I've never heard of this solution so your video is very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for highlighting this, and for the great content as always, Brandon! This is incredible and what I didn't even know I was needing. Such a great solution.

Thanks Brandon. I've started looking into these services after seeing them among the exhaustive list of supported services in Uptime Kuma. This was very helpful.

I use Proton Mail so I just built a tiny Protonmail gateway VM and use that for all my email alerts. Not only is it fast, but since it's Proton and sending to my Proton email account it's all encrypted.

Thank you for this! I've been semi-noodling on what to do with an old NAS that only has smtp messaging, and the gmail connection broke cause TLS v1.0. This hit my YT feed just in time!!

Thank you! Testing out mailrise configured to send to MQTT for a device that can only send SMTP. So far, have a subscriber setup to take in the message and reformat it to then check to see if the alerting is snoozed or not (configured using a Redis key and TTL) and if it's not, then publish to two topics. One of the topics is for alerting and the other is for logging., if it is snoozed it's only published to the logging topic.

This is just great content!!!

i think that important services need redundancy... so i'll use this, sure, BUT add other services in parallel, completely unrelated to this (EVERYTHING goes down, sooner or later...), on a different device, to push out same notifications but in different ways, for example a telegram bot...

Great video!. Is it possible to make a video setting up WhatsApp notification using the latest appraise revision. appraise added WhatsApp support but my old brain can't wrap around how to set it up. thx

Installing a python package globally/outside a virtual environment is not recommended.

This is a good tutorial and it works with Telegram and Discord but only if i send mails directly to the IP and Port of the Server with PowerShell or Telnet If i use Proxmox or Truenas the Domainname get a resolution to a public IP Adress kinda dumb but i tried manually set the resolution to my Mailrise VM but it still does not work it always sends them to the Public IP of that Domainname that goes to the Github page (and yes i flushed my dns cache) How did you solve that problem?

Would I be able to run mailrise on a raspberry pi, specifically the v1.2 version which has 1GB Ram?

It would be awesome if I could selfhost the whole thing cause I am a spook and have trust issues!

When I install pip, and then try to install mailrise with 'pip install mailrise' i get the message: error: externally-managed-environment. Any tips?

My dude. Love you but this vid is incomplete. Anyway you can put out a more detailed setup after we touch those files? seems from that point on you're doing things I can't replicate. And to be honest a majority of those that are watching these videos need step by steps including me. I need more help. Thanks always.

The best notification system I've found hands down is telegram.

Hello VirtualizationHowto, any chance for us to work together to feature and review our security camera system? Sincerely hope can reach cooperation with you!

Heh, I prefer notifications via email.

I can build you a custom iOS App for that, if you like ;)

Any support place for mailrise? I followed your steps and... mailrise barfs at me 😜😜. I checked the pushover configuration, was able to use arise command (works like a charm), but sending email.message to my mailrise host... no sugar, no love. The journalctl gives "WARNING:mailrise.skeleton:Unknown recipient:" error. Any suggestions?
