Omni Notify

Currently only supports sending a Pushover notification when a YouTube channel goes live.

Setup

Use Docker Compose:

version: '3.7'
services:
  omni-notify:
    image: ghcr.io/micthiesen/omni-notify:latest
    container_name: omni-notify
    environment:
      - LOG_LEVEL=info
      - PUSHOVER_TOKEN=token
      - PUSHOVER_USER=user
      - YT_CHANNEL_NAMES=@some,@channel,@usernames
      - OFFLINE_NOTIFICATIONS=true
    restart: unless-stopped

You can find YouTube channel names from their channel page.

Usage

The service will check to see if a channel is live every 20 seconds. It will send a notification if the channel transitions from offline to live (or vice versa). The offline notifications can be disabled (see above).

How it Works

It looks for specific text on the channel's live page. Because of this, it could break if YouTube changes what the page looks like or if YouTube blocks the requests for some reason (it does not use the API).

Statuses are stored in a SQLite database, so they should be remembered between restarts.
