#SelfHosting community, how do you get notifications about your projects?

I'm setting up a couple of #BASH #Scripts to back things up and notify me about events on my #RaspberryPi, but I've hit some roadblocks. Here's my situation:

- I know #email is one option, but I'm not set up for it yet. My domain is on porkbun.com, but its nameservers point to vultr.com, where my #WordPress site is hosted. The Vultr server is managed by a friend, so I don't have access to add #DNSRecords for platforms like #Brevo. I've asked him to add the records but am waiting on that.

- I've been using a #Discord webhook, but I've run into issues with rate limiting when scripts send too many messages. Long messages also cause errors.

Now, I'm exploring other ways to send notifications. Does anyone have suggestions for reliable methods or tools that work well in self-hosted setups?

Hello world!

I'm a #genderqueer #postchristian #musician that found their way to the fediverse amongst the madness of 2020.

I will occasionally post original #digitalcollage and sound clips of #noise and #music. You might soon find music at bandcamp/tremortwins.

I'm interested in #LinuxAudio #sox #tmux #git #bashscripts and living the #CLI life.

I'm enjoying personal growth and self-discovery, and am looking forward to discovering interesting people on Mastadon! :-)
