ntfy Notification Setup

To enable ntfy notifications, you need the following:

• ntfy URL The base URL of your ntfy server including the topic (e.g., https://ntfy.example.com/alerts)

• ntfy Token An access token for authentication, generated per user

How to get the ntfy URL and Token

1. Install and set up your ntfy server (self-hosted or use https://ntfy.sh)

2. Choose a topic name (e.g. alerts) and include it in the URL: https://<your-ntfy-server>/<your-topic>

3. Create a user (if not already created)

4. Generate a token for the user using the following command:

   ntfy token add --expires=30d --label="notifications" <username>

5. List existing tokens to get the full token string:

   ntfy token list <username>

6. Use the token as a bearer token when sending messages, either in the Authorization header or in your tool's configuration.

Example Token Management Commands

ntfy token list                       # Show all tokens
ntfy token list alice                 # Show tokens for user 'alice'
ntfy token add alice                  # Create token for user 'alice' (never expires)
ntfy token add --expires=2d bob       # Create token for 'bob', expires in 2 days
ntfy token remove alice tk_...        # Delete a token
