Quick start
The fastest way to deploy Notifico is Docker. We will use RabbitMQ as an AMQP broker and SQLite as a database.
Run in your terminal
$ curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notificohq/notifico/refs/heads/main/examples/docker-compose.simple.yml
Configure your credentials
First, you need to set all the necessary service credentials. In this example, we use SMTP server because it is the easiest to configure.
Open docker-compose.yml, that you have just downloaded and replace SMTP credentials with yours:
If your SMTP username contains "@" sign, replace it with %40. All other characters must be urlencoded as well.
Example for Gmail
To use your Google account with SMTP, especially when using third-party applications like Notifico, it's recommended to create an App Password. This is a special password that allows the app to access your Google account securely without using your main account password. Here's how you can create an App Password for your Google account:
-
Enable 2-Step Verification: Before you can create an App Password, you need to have 2-Step Verification enabled on your Google account. You can enable it by going to your Google Account settings, selecting "Security," and then following the instructions under "2-Step Verification."
-
Create an App Password:
- Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
- Enter a new name for your App Password, for example
Notifico. - Google will provide you with a 16-character password. This is your App Password.
- Use the App Password: Replace the password field in your NOTIFICO_CRED_MAIL1 variable with the App Password you just generated. It should look something like this:
Run using docker compose
This command will download Notifico, start the dependencies and run all the necessary services.
Now, Notifico is up and running and the admin panel will be available here: http://localhost:8000.
Now, you can create your Event, Template and Pipeline.
