MultiNotify v1.1 (Beta)

This beta release brings major improvements and new features to MultiNotify, making it easier to run multiple bots, support more services, and send personalized alerts.

🚀 New Features

  • Expanded Multi-Platform Support
    Now fully compatible with Mattermost and Slack alongside Discord using native webhook support.
    MultiNotify can now notify multiple teams or services at once.

  • Discord DM-Only Mode
    Want private alerts? Leave DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL blank to run in DM-only mode, sending notifications directly to specified Discord users.

  • Advanced Flair Filtering
    Support for multiple flairs (comma-separated) so you can fine-tune which subreddit posts trigger alerts.

  • Multi-Bot Deployment Made Easy
    Use the provided docker-compose.yml to run multiple notifier instances (each with its own .env file) for different subreddits and configurations.

  • Startup Post Dump
    On launch, the bot will send the latest 10 posts from the configured subreddit so you can verify it’s working right away.

🛠 Improvements

  • Simplified .env configuration with clearer variables and safer defaults.
  • Enhanced debug mode (DEBUG=true) to send the last 10 posts once and exit — perfect for testing.
  • Improved error handling for Reddit API limits and webhook issues, with retry logic.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issues where blank DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL would break DM notifications.
  • Resolved webhook formatting bugs for Mattermost and Slack (uses plain text when embeds aren’t supported).
  • Improved stability during Reddit API hiccups with smarter retries.

📥 Installation & Upgrade

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/ethanocurtis/MultiNotify.git
cd MultiNotify

  2. Create and configure your .env file (see README for details).

  3. Start the bot with Docker:

    docker compose up -d --build
docker compose logs -f

  4. (Optional) Duplicate services in docker-compose.yml for multiple subreddit trackers:

    version: "3.8"
services:
  reddit-notifier-1:
    build: .
    env_file:
      - .env
    restart: unless-stopped
  reddit-notifier-2:
    build: .
    env_file:
      - .env.another
    restart: unless-stopped

⚠️ Beta Notes

  • Configuration validation is stricter, so double-check your .env syntax.
  • DM mode still requires a Discord bot token and user IDs for recipients.
  • This is a beta release — report issues or feedback on GitHub Issues.
