I self host several things including ntfy, so is there any way to use that for notifications?

Yes, @oranki@lemmy.world made a post about this in !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/23207036

This requires a custom server-side application to be running though. You can upvote this feature request for Proton to finally implement native UnifiedPush support: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/47423924-support-unifiedpush-for-android-notifications



Notesnook is truly awesome, I’m really excited for their upcoming self-hostable sync server


Yes, there are no limitations. I’ve been using it since January and it’s been fantastic. Just keep in mind that there are multiple versions of Molly, and UnifiedPush support is not included in the main version. You either need to pull the APK from the mollyim-android-unifiedpush repo, or add the Molly F-Droid repo and download the UnifiedPush version from there. For the UnifiedPush client, you just need to download ntfy from F-Droid, GitHub or Google Play, go to the settings, set the server to https://ntfy.adminforge.de, and set the Connection protocol to WebSockets. In the Molly-UnifiedPush app, go to Settings -> Notifications, set the server to https://molly.adminforge.de and set the Delivery Method to UnifiedPush. I know that my explanation wasn’t particularly great, but it should work. Will soon post a better guide to !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com


Try Molly, it’s a fork of the Signal client for Android, which improves battery life (even with WebSockets) or alternatively allows you to use UnifiedPush. Signal doesn’t support UP natively, but Molly has created a bridge called mollysocket, which takes Signal notifications and forwards them to your UnifiedPush server of choice. You can self-host it, or just use a public instance like https://adminforge.de/services/mollysocket/. They also host an instance of ntfy (UnifiedPush server) at ntfy.adminforge.de. If you have questions on how to set this up, feel free to DM me. But it’s pretty easy and you don’t need to self-host anything. And it’s perfectly secure, because although the mollysocket server is added as a linked device in Signal, it doesn’t get the encryption keys to your messages. So it can’t decrypt your messages or see the content of your notifications.


Signal has their own implementation of notifications, which uses WebSockets. It works, and it doesn’t rely on Google, but it eats up battery like crazy. If every app did this, you would have a battery life of an hour. That’s why UnifiedPush is a better solution.


Ok now I get what you mean - I fully agree. UserVoice really sucks as a platform, but there aren’t many good alternatives and I imagine they don’t let you migrate and move the existing feature requests, so Proton is stuck with them.




Not without Google Play services, that’s why we need UnifiedPush support




You can always physically disconnect/remove the cellular modem entirely.




I have a custom x86 Router/Firewall running the BSD-based OPNSense Firewall OS. Setting up Proton VPN is pretty simple, they even have a guide: https://protonvpn.com/support/protonvpn-opnsense-wireguard/



True, the Linux app (both the old and the new one) sucks to the point, where I gave up and just put my Linux PC behind a network-wide VPN (which is set up using a Wireguard profile)


Where did you download it? I couldn’t find it on GitHub Releases.


https://github.com/ProtonVPN/android-app/releases/tag/5.1.51.3 I couldn't find any announcement on the Proton VPN blog or Mastodon?
