[ljapptest-art]

Summary

Implements the unified notification center as specified in Issue #13.

Changes Made

1. Complete README Documentation

• Architecture overview and service descriptions
• Quick start guide with environment setup
• Service configuration details (ntfy, Gotify, Apprise)
• Integration examples with other stacks
• Security best practices
• Troubleshooting guide

2. Docker Compose Stack

• ntfy server (latest) - Primary notification server
• Gotify server (latest) - Alternative notification server
• Apprise API (latest) - Multi-platform notification gateway
• Proper networking and volume configuration
• Health checks for all services

3. Unified Notification Script (scripts/notify.sh)

• Single interface for all notification channels
• Priority levels: low, default, high, urgent
• Automatic fallback from ntfy → Gotify → Apprise
• Integration with existing homelab services
• Error handling and logging

4. Configuration Files

• config/ntfy/server.yml - ntfy server configuration
• Proper authentication and authorization settings
• Rate limiting and cache configuration

Integration Points

• Alertmanager: Use notify.sh for alert notifications
• Backup scripts: Send completion/failure notifications
• CI/CD: Deployment notifications
• Custom scripts: Any service can use the unified script

Testing

# Test ntfy
./scripts/notify.sh alerts "Test" "This is a test notification"

# Test with priority
./scripts/notify.sh alerts "Urgent" "Critical alert" high

Closes

Closes #13
