Gotify

I am moving away from Discord in favor of Gotify. Unfortunately, I'm told there is no mobile app for iOS. Even though there is a Gotify template for Unpackerr, I could not get it working. Other than that, I like it much more. {.is-info}

Discord

There are so many ways to get notifications, there could be an entire wiki dedicated to that alone. For simplicity's sake, we are going to go with Discord here. The prerequisite here is that you have signed up for a Discord account.

Setting Up A Server

Start by launching Discord and set up a private server, calling it whatever you want. Follow the steps:

  1. Click “Create My Own”

  2. Add a Text Channel. Slide the slider to Private Channel. Skip the step when it asks you to add moderators.

  1. Click the cog icon next to the channel name and then click the Integrations tab in the left pane. Click Create Webhook, the expand the Spidey Bot box, and Copy the Webhook URL.

  1. Paste that to a text doc somewhere because we will need it later. 

TrueNAS

Now that we have a Discord server to push to, let's enable TrueNAS to notify us of alerts.

  1. Click on the Alert Bell in the top right corner, then the Cog icon to bring us to Alert Settings. 

  1. Add an alert using the blue button
  2. Add the description and choose Slack for the Type
  3. Paste the webhook into the bottom box and add “/slack” to the end with no spaces
  4. Send the Test Alert to make sure you did it correctly.

Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr

Since all the *arrs are basically the same UI, we will follow the same steps for all of them.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Connect (on Prowlarr its Settings > Notifications)
  2. Click the + box. Select Discord. 

  1. Paste the webhook to the Webhook URL box

I suggest you deselect some of the check boxes though, otherwise you will be getting alerts all the time. Usually I just have grab, import, added, health issue, and manual interaction to keep the noise down. {.is-info}

Unpackerr

Since this is command line, it will be a little uglier, but no less difficult. 

If you are using Docker, you will see the section for Webhook in the config file. These are the values which need to be modified:

Config Name Variable Name Default / Note
webhook.url UN_WEBHOOK_0_URL paste your Discord webhook URL here
webhook.name UN_WEBHOOK_0_NAME call this Discord
webhook.nickname UN_WEBHOOK_0_NICKNAME leave default
webhook.channel UN_WEBHOOK_0_CHANNEL leave default
webhook.timeout UN_WEBHOOK_0_TIMEOUT leave default
webhook.silent UN_WEBHOOK_0_SILENT leave default
webhook.ignore_ssl UN_WEBHOOK_0_IGNORE_SSL leave default
webhook.exclude UN_WEBHOOK_0_EXCLUDE leave default
webhook.events UN_WEBHOOK_0_EVENTS leave default
webhook.template_path UN_WEBHOOK_0_TEMPLATE_PATH leave default
webhook.template UN_WEBHOOK_0_TEMPLATE use “discord”
webhook.content_type UN_WEBHOOK_0_CONTENT_TYPE leave default

In TrueNAS, we only need to add 3 values in the Extra Environment Variables for Unpackerr:

Name Value
UN_WEBHOOK_0_URL enter webhook here
UN_WEBHOOK_0_NAME Unpackerr/Discord
UN_WEBHOOK_0_TEMPLATE discord

Jellyseerr

  1. Navigate to Settings > Notifications > Discord
  2. Paste your webhook in the correct box.

Emby

If you do not have the Premium version of Emby, this will not work because it requires an add-on {.is-danger}

  1. Navigate to Settings > Advanced > Plugins
  2. Click the tab at the top to select Catalog
  3. Scroll down to the Notifications section and look for the Discord option.

  1. Once it is installed and you have rebooted your server, navigate to Settings > Notifications
  2. Click Add Notification. Select Discord and enter the following values:
Field Value
Name Emby
LabelDiscordWebhookUrl paste webhook here
LabelWebhookUsername Emby
Events select the events you want to be notified for
External select the last 2 checkboxes for External | External Notification via Emby Server API
  1. Click Save

Uptime Kuma

  1. Navigate to Settings > Notifications > Setup Notification
  2. Paste your webhook URL and give it a friendly name.
  3. Enable the two sliders at the bottom to enable the notification by default and apply it to existing monitors.
