This lab setup uses ntfy.sh, a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service, to send real-time alerts and messages. This guide explains how to use ntfy.sh to send and receive notifications.
ntfy.sh lets you send push notifications to your phone or desktop using simple HTTP requests or CLI commands. It's great for lab alerts, build systems, monitoring, or custom scripts.
