Gotify - Older Notifications cleanup

This script allows you to automatically remove old Notifications based on date. You can specify ApplicationID and remove Notifications for particular Application.

Configuration

Via config file or variables

Following configuration is needed. You can keep it directly in script (do not forget to apply chmod 750 or even chmod 500) or in a CentralConfigFile.

GotifyDomain="server.com/gotify" Your Domain with Path to Gotify. Only HTTPS is supported and not needed to list here.

GotifyApplicationId=10 Gotify Application ID, please keep it Empty if you would like to perform cleanups for all Applications.

GotifyClientToken="xxxxxxxxxx" Gotify Client Token. It is needed to have right to delete Notifications. Please generate one in Gotify.

keepDays=7 Days to keep Notifications, E.g., everything older than 7 days will be removed.

CentralConfigFile="/etc/gotify-delete-old-notifications.conf" Allows you to move configuration to different location and ensure better security. If CentralConfigFile configured and exist, it will overrule configuration in script.

Via parameters

Now you can set parameters to the Script to specify all different variables.

Options could be:

• -d Set Gotify Path and Port as: server.com:8080/gotify. HTTPS is only supported protocol, you do not need to set it.
• -c <token> Set Client Token for Gotify.
• -a <ID> Set Gotify Application ID. E.g., 10 than messages only for application 10 will be deleted.

• -g Work Globally for all applications, could not be combined with -a.
• -f <path> Custom path to config file, default /etc/gotify-delete-old-notifications.conf.
• -s Show current active configuration and exit. E.g.:

  ./gotify-delete-old-notifications.sh -s

  Gotify Application ID:       10
  Gotify Client Token:         xxxx...
  Days to keep messages:       7
