A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Help? So what I'm trying to do is get n8n to send my phone a notification that tells me there's new stories to read every time Miniflux does a pull.

I feel like this should be easy, but it's not. I initially had it just telling me every half hour, but that felt like a dirty workaround. Should I be looking at webhook? Or am I thinking about this wrong?

How would I get the timing right? It's matching the timing where I'm falling over

You could just poll it every few minutes via a cronjob and only send a notification if the numbers have increased.

Personally I use miniflux too in docker but I dont have a need for notifications.

Right now it's not in my muscle memory, so I need a prompt to keep me checking.
