fpush

fpush

fpush is a small tool to send push notifications when photos in a given folder change.

The detected photo will be attached to the notification.

It uses Pushover to send push notifications to devices, so you will need an API key and a device key.

Usage

Set these environment variables:

• PUSHOVER_KEY Your API key
• PUSHOVER_RECIPIENT_KEY Your device key

Run the program like this:

fpush -path=/foo/bar

If you leave out the -path flag it will fall back to the current directory.

Background

I use this for my security camera which is a Raspberry Pi with a camera module that uses motion to detect changes in photos. I run fpush every five minutes as a cron job to see if there are new photos in motion's photos folder and notify me about them.
