Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Nextcloud notify_push is great, but it is included for Linux aarch64, armv7 and x86_64 only. FreeBSD is missing, while it can easily be included in the Nextcloud release process. I feel a bit frustrated to build notify_push and testing with occ with every Netxcloud update myself; mundane work that can be automated to benefit all FreeBSD admins.

Describe the solution you'd like
Include fbsd_amd64 or fbsd_x86_64 in directory:
/NEXTCLOUD_ROOT/apps/notify_push/bin/
Execute in the release build process (generic FreeBSD fits-all):
cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-freebsd

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually running cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-freebsd, moving compiled push_notify to correct location and re-running occ to check whether all is ok over-and-over again every update.

Additional context
No other context. Except a "thank you" for considering!

Research direction

Start by locating the release build process and the /NEXTCLOUD_ROOT/apps/notify_push/bin/ directory. Run cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-freebsd and verify that the resulting FreeBSD binary is included in every release at the expected path and works with occ.
