Overview

Watchtower has a number of legacy notification configuration options that will be removed with the release of Watchtower v2.

This deprecation and eventual removal of legacy notification configuration options is a long-term migration that started with the refactoring of Shoutrrr into a separate notification library. The removal of the legacy notification configuration options is simply a removal of an unnecessary abstraction layer in favor of using Shoutrrr URL’s directly.

In order to continue receiving notifications, users will need to add Shoutrrr URL’s directly using the NOTIFICATION URL configuration option.

Watchtower users do not need to install any new software to implement Shoutrrr URL’s.

Use Watchtower’s CLI migration tool to help convert legacy email configurations to Shoutrrr URLs or use the Shoutrrr Playground to help convert configurations for other services to Shoutrrr URLs.
