Why does the self-hosted edition have this restriction? If the software is truly OSS, the limit could be trivially patched. But this kind of restriction just does not inspire much confidence in the project to be honest.
- lstodd 9mo agoBecause mobile notifications require integration with operators and cost money. This is not about the ones that are pushed over IP, this is about mobile push.
- wolvoleo 9mo agoIt doesn't require operator involvement, you can just integrate with FCM and APN?
- odo1242 9mo agoFCM and APN are the operators
- xethos 9mo agoMobile notifications do not require outside operators. UnifiedPush / ntfy is FLOSS, and allows for a single background connection for multiple apps / notification channels. It can also be self-hosted (and I do!) This puts the operational costs (number of devices and notifications) on whomever is running the server - and because of how valuable metadata is, I expect them to be run in-house by governments
- lstodd 9mo agoWell I guess you can do the same with zulip, redirect notifications somewhere else that is. Never hosted zulip, but it should be more or less staightforward when hosting it yourself, the 10 free looks like a limit when using their endpoint, not universal.
