Web Push Notification Agent plugin for Unraid

An Unraid plugin to add browser push notifications.

What is it?

You know, that's the notification you receive in the top/bottom right corner of your desktop computer or in the notification panel on your mobile device.

Take a quick look to this Push notifications overview article.

Usage

1. Browse the Unraid notifications settings page (over a HTTPS connection with a valid certificate) with the device you want to receive notifications on.
2. Click on "Request permission and register" button to allow notifications in your browser.

Notification will be send to your devices through push service. Both your Unraid and devices must have access to internet. No need to keep Unraid web UI open to receive them.

On desktop, your browser must be open to receive notifications, otherwise they will be pending until opened.

To enable push notifications on Apple iPhone/iPad, add Unraid notifications settings page to the Home Screen.

If you have issue, try to clear notification permissions and browser cache.

I don't have access to an iPhone/iPad, so I can't test on it.

Mobile devices

Notification may not arrive instantly. It will depend on several factors: OS deep sleep, power management profile, frozen application when idle, battery level, network usage, ... and the way notifications are implemented (see this comment for Android on Chromium Issue Tracker).
