What is Pushover?

Pushover is service that enables you to receive instant push notifications on your phone/tablet/PC from a variety of sources. With Cloudbox, you can have notifications sent with many different events.

  1. Edit the settings.yml file.

      nano ~/cloudbox/settings.yml

      backup:

    pushover_app_token:
    pushover_user_key:

  3. Ctrl-x, y, and enter to save.

Tip: If you have a Plexbox/Feederbox setup, you can create 2 different applications within Pushover specify "Plexbox Backup" and "Feederbox Backup" as their names.

UnionFS Cleaner

To have Pushover send you alerts every time a UnionFS Cleaner task starts and finishes, follow to steps below.

  1. Edit the Unionfs Cleaner config.json file:

    nano /opt/unionfs_cleaner/config.json

     "pushover_app_token": "",
 "pushover_user_token": "",

  3. Ctrl-x, y, and enter to save.

  4. UnionFS Cleaner will restart itself when it detects config.json has changed.

Plex Requests

Pushover can send notifications whenever an event occurs in Plex Requests (e.g. media is requested by someone).

  • Plex Requests -> Admin -> Notifications -> check "Enable Pushover notifications" and type in your Pushover User Key and the Application Token (you can click the "Test Pushover" to check if it's working ok) -> Click "Update Settings".

Pushover can send you notifications whenever an event occurs with Plex (e.g. someone starts watching something, new media is added, etc)

  1. Enable notifications: PlexPy -> Settings -> Notification Agents -> Click the gray "bell" icon next to "Pushover" -> and select when you want to be alerted -> Click "close". The "bell" icon will turn yellow.
