Thanks, both you and https://david.shanske.com have recommended Pushover and it seems to be OK price and rate limit wise so I think I'll look into it. It helps that I don't need to create an Android app myself to receive notifications, unlike https://pushy.me

 Note

What are folks using for free/low cost notifications for personal projects? I know https://indigenous.realize.be uses https://pushy.me and until now I've used https://pushbullet.com, but given https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/01/yelaf/ I may need to replace it with something more substantial

No worries - they're every two weeks! They're also more self-directed so being a less-experienced member there is more than ok, but depending on who's there it may be more conversations about what you're doing rather than technical help

This looks awesome, great stuff! If you want to come work on it with like minded folks, I organise #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham, next event on Feb 5th https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-8IgcYeAQhIKX

Anybody can write good bash (with a little effort)

I used to write a lot of shell scripts before realising that what I was trying to do was treat shell scripting as a "full" scripting language (I won't define here what I mean by "full").

Its not - reach for a higher level scripting language like Ruby or Python when things are getting more complicated, and allow shell scripts to glue things together, or be for quick tasks maybe a few lines long.

When you do write them, this advice is great but it's definitely worth gaining understanding of when you should and shouldn't use them.

I've been self hosting #Matomo for several years now, and haven't found it too much work, as I've got a really hacky database backup script and otherwise it handles things well - I'd recommend giving it a go again!
