Install your own ntfy server
Self-hosting your own ntfy server is pretty straight forward. Just install the binary, package or Docker image, then configure it and run it. Just like any other software. No fuzz.
!!! info The following steps are only required if you want to self-host your own ntfy server. If you just want to send messages using ntfy.sh, you don't need to install anything.
General steps
The ntfy server comes as a statically linked binary and is shipped as tarball, deb/rpm packages and as a Docker image. We support amd64, armv7 and arm64.
- Install ntfy using one of the methods described below
- Then (optionally) edit
/etc/ntfy/config.yml
(see configuration) - Then just run it with
ntfy
(orsystemctl start ntfy
when using the deb/rpm).
Binaries and packages
Please check out the releases page for binaries and deb/rpm packages.

Docker
The ntfy image is available for amd64, armv7 and arm64. It should be pretty straight forward to use.
The server exposes its web UI and the API on port 80, so you need to expose that in Docker. To use the persistent
message cache, you also need to map a volume to /var/cache/ntfy
. To change other settings, you should map /etc/ntfy
,
so you can edit /etc/ntfy/config.yml
.
Basic usage (no cache or additional config):
docker run -p 80:80 -it binwiederhier/ntfy
With persistent cache (configured as command line arguments):
docker run \
-v /var/cache/ntfy:/var/cache/ntfy \
-p 80:80 \
-it \
binwiederhier/ntfy \
--cache-file /var/cache/ntfy/cache.db
With other config options (configured via /etc/ntfy/config.yml
, see configuration for details):
docker run \
-v /etc/ntfy:/etc/ntfy \
-p 80:80 \
-it \
binwiederhier/ntfy
Go
To install via Go, simply run:
go install heckel.io/ntfy@latest
!!! info Please let me know if there are any issues with this installation method. The SQLite bindings require CGO and it works for me, but I have the feeling it may not work for everyone.
