Notifications from the server? (lemmy.world)

Hey gang, recently rebuilt my home server using docker and portainer and I've been having a blast curating the different things on it. Homehub has the spouse absolutely stoked and she asked if I could get it to send notifications. I honestly have no Idea so I thought I'd ask here.

Is there a reliable way to send notifications from a home server to smart phones? I'm already set up for remote access, but I'm still new enough that I don't even know how to look for that.

Most applications/services offer mail as notification channel. Even old school unix utilities such as cron support sending mail (through the system MTA). I use msmtp. Then configure K-9 mail or any decent mail client on your phone, setup filters so that mail from your services ends up in a high priority folder in your mailbox with notifications enabled.

I want to be able to receive notifications both on mobile and desktop, this is the only reasonable option I found and have been running with it for > 10 years.
