There is no iOS app for Gotify (yet). There is a blog post, that talks about a solution on how to send notifications from Gotify to iOS. You can read about it here https://the-empire.systems/gotify-ios-notifications.
Having it running in a container either standalone in Docker or in a Kubernetes cluster makes this a good solution where all dependencies are running isolted in a container.
This container connects to your Gotify server and pushes the messages to the configured backend(s). The backend is configured in a config file, which is then mounted into the container.
Note:
There is probably a better way of keeping the process running in the foreground besides running it in screen and sleeping forever. But it was the only way to keep the container up. Even if the shell script does not exit, when run manually, it does for some reason exit when run via ENTRYPOINT or CMD. Not sure why at this point.
Build the docker image, if you want to run it locally.
docker build -t gotify-ios .
I have images for x86_64 and arm64. If that suites you, below are two examples on how to run the container with the pre-build images from Docker Hub.
You need to set the following 2 variables for your environment and you should edit ntfy.yml with the backends you want to use. The example file includes the minimum settings for Pushover.
- GOTIFY_SERVER
- GOTIFY_TOKEN
Run the container like this.
docker run -d \
--name=gotify2ios \
-e "GOTIFY_SERVER=192.168.2.60" \
-e "GOTIFY_TOKEN=xxx" \
-v ~/.config/ntfy/ntfy.yml:/home/appuser/.config/ntfy/ntfy.yml \

In case you use macvlan where you containers have an ip address from your network.
docker run -d \
--name=gotify2ios \
--network=1_server_lan \
--ip=192.168.2.61 \
-e "GOTIFY_SERVER=192.168.2.60" \
-e "GOTIFY_TOKEN=xxx" \
-v ~/.config/ntfy/ntfy.yml:/home/appuser/.config/ntfy/ntfy.yml \
