Cloudbox Backup

To have Pushover send you alerts every time a Cloudbox backup task starts and finishes, follow to steps below.

1. Create a Pushover application for "Cloudbox Backup" (see Step 5 here).

   Tip: If you have a Mediabox/Feederbox setup, you can create 2 different applications within Pushover specify "Mediabox Backup" and "Feederbox Backup" as their names.

2. Open the accounts.yml file.

   • For encrypted accounts.yml:

     ansible-vault edit accounts.yml

   • For plain text accounts.yml:

     nano accounts.yml

3. Type in your Pushover User Key and the Application Token (from Step #1) under "pushover" (without quotes).

   pushover:
     app_token:
     user_key:
     priority

4. Ctrl+X Y Enter to save.

Cloudplow

Cloudplow can send notifications when it:

• starts an upload task.
• is put into a ban sleep.
• is restored after a ban sleep.
• completes an upload task.

To setup notifications, follow the steps below:

1. Create a Pushover application for "Cloudplow" (see Step 5 here).

2. Edit the Cloudplow config.json file:

   nano /opt/cloudplow/config.json
   

3. Add the following notification section and type in your Pushover User Key and the Application Token (from Step #1) within the quotes (""). Take a look at an example of this here.

   "notifications": {
       "Pushover": {
           "app_token": "XXXXXXXXXXX",
           "service": "pushover",
           "user_token": "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
           "priority": 0
        }
    },

4. Ctrl+X Y Enter to save.

5. Restart CP after changes: sudo systemctl restart cloudplow.

Plex Requests

Pushover can send notifications whenever an event occurs in Plex Requests (e.g. media is requested by someone).

• Create a Pushover application for "Plex Requests" (see Step 5 here).

• Plex Requests -> Admin -> Notifications -> check "Enable Pushover notifications" and type in your Pushover User Key and the Application Token (you can click the "Test Pushover" to check if it's working ok) -> Click "Update Settings".

PlexPy

Pushover can send you notifications whenever an event occurs with Plex (e.g. someone starts watching something, new media is added, etc)

1. Create a Pushover application for "PlexPy" (see Step 5 here).

2. Enable notifications: PlexPy -> Settings -> Notification Agents -> Click the gray "bell" icon next to "Pushover" -> and select when you want to be alerted -> Click "close". The "bell" icon will turn yellow.
