Edge notifications

Edge can post a message to an ntfy topic after a job uploads successfully. Publishing is optional and best-effort: a failed notification never blocks an upload. This runs for scheduled cycles and Run Backup Cycle Now. Individual Force Upload actions currently bypass Edge’s notification step; Central can still notify when it stores that upload.

Central has its own, separate notification settings that fire when Central receives an upload. See Central notifications. Configure whichever side you prefer, or both.

Set up

Open the dialog

In Edge, click Configure ntfy.

Enter your server and topic

ntfy Server URL: for example https://ntfy.sh or your own server.
Topic: for example backups.

Test and save

Click Test to send a sample message, then Save.

If your ntfy server uses a private CA, add it under Trusted certificates.

Message template

The default message is:

Edge uploaded {{ edge_id }}/{{ edge_instance_id }} job {{ job_name }} to Central as {{ stored_as }}.

Write your own in Message Template. Defaults restores the default.

Placeholder	Value
`{{ edge_id }}`	This Edge’s ID
`{{ edge_instance_id }}`	This Edge installation’s instance ID
`{{ job_name }}`	Name of the backup job
`{{ stored_as }}`	Filename as stored on Central

Messages are sent with the header X-Relay-Event: upload-finished.
