## Notes

Gotify is a self-hosted message server. Applications send messages to it through a REST API, and clients receive them over a WebSocket connection. An Android app receives the messages on a phone, and a command line client can send them. The [install guide](https://gotify.net/docs/install) covers a Docker image, release binaries and a source build. The [push message docs](https://gotify.net/docs/pushmsg) show how a script or program calls the message endpoint, with examples in several languages. The server has a web interface for managing users, clients and applications, and it can sign users in through OpenID Connect.
