I understand that self-hosted Discourse instances do not get push notifications through the mobile app. However from reading through the meta topic about the app, it looks like notifications should still work using iOS’s background fetch (albeit a bit delayed). This doesn’t seem to work for my foru…

@pmusaraj nothing new on this front?

Sorry but self-hosted push notifications would mean you have to register an account with Apple. Discourse can not handle data of forums we do not host. No news here.

Thanks Sam. When you say register an act with apple, how would I do that as it’s not a dev act for an app but specifically a website using the discourse app. Is that possible??

You would have to Fork Discourse Hub Register a dev account with apple Repackage as a standalone app for your site Publish to the app store Build infra to handle the push notifications I am afraid there is no easy solution here, on Android - Google provide a public proxy. Apple do not do that.

What infra has to be built? I thought they were either handled by the discourse server itself or OneSignal (I can’t remember which).

We handle notifications for our customer on dedicated infrastructure we host. The notifications contain data we are allowed to handle, since we host the customers.

Sorry. Was thinking this was a different thread (this one: Whitelisted Discourse app with Push Notifications via OneSignal ) Edit: it’s probably worth noting that the thread I linked has ostensibly solved all of those problems. However, I’ve never done it myself.

Please consider offering it as a paid service. There are use cases where notifications are desired, while most of the discussion content (except for the data in the notification) should still remain on private servers.

We do offer it as a paid service, sign up for our hosting at https://discourse.org/buy
