Create a self-hosted instance of NTFY

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 Thanks for this - good find. I have to admit, I’ve not tested with an iPhone, and all of my development has been with Android.

[dave1904]

@phenomlab Same here but unfortunately we have a lot of iOS users on our forum. So before announcing I wanted to make sure it’s working for Desktop, Android and iOS.

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 A very wise choice!

hey @phenomlab sorry for bothering you again. I’ve tried to start ntfy as a service as you recommended. But now I don’t receive any more push notifications. Do I have to make ntfy “serve” like a service too?

[dave1904]

In the docs I found this:

ntfy serve (or systemctl start ntfy when using the deb/rpm)

isn’t this the same as sudo service ntfy start?

Yes, it is. I have mine running the same way.

[dave1904]

Yes is definitley running:

ntfy       20401  0.0  2.6 1200936 26232 ?       Ssl  15:33   0:00 /usr/bin/ntfy serve --no-log-dates
root       20470  0.0  0.0   8160   720 pts/1    S+   15:40   0:00 grep --color=auto ntfy

Any idea why it’s only working for me with ntfy serve?

edit: now I get the notifications. don’t know why but it took some time running as a service now

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 Yes, I’ve seen this myself. Not great when you think there is an issue with your install!

We got this working. I’m not sure if it was on my buddys end.

Here the steps:

1. Add new sub in ntfy app with the private ID and using another server (ntfy.mydomain.com)
2. In settings also use the ntfy url as default Server
3. add the upstream-base-url: “https://ntfy.sh” property in server.yaml and restart ntfy

thanks for the update!

Hi
Thanks for your explanations.
I tried this settings but still doesn’t work. I always have to slide down to see new messages.
Does anybody have the same trouble or a solution ?
Thank you

@sebmegag hi. Welcome aboard! I’ve tried this on both iPhone and Android and it works fine. Did you double check the config you have?
