# Installing ntfy
|
|
The `ntfy` CLI allows you to [publish messages](publish.md), [subscribe to topics](subscribe/cli.md) as well as to
|
|
self-host your own ntfy server. It's all pretty straight forward. Just install the binary, package or Docker image,
|
|
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 or you want to use the ntfy CLI**.
|
|
If you just want to [send messages using ntfy.sh](publish.md), you don't need to install anything. You can just use
|
|
`curl`.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
1. Install ntfy using one of the methods described below
|
|
2. Then (optionally) edit `/etc/ntfy/server.yml` for the server (Linux only, see [configuration](config.md) or [sample server.yml](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/blob/main/server/server.yml))
|
|
3. Or (optionally) create/edit `~/.config/ntfy/client.yml` (or `/etc/ntfy/client.yml`, see [sample client.yml](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/blob/main/client/client.yml))
|
|
|
|
To run the ntfy server, then just run `ntfy serve` (or `systemctl start ntfy` when using the deb/rpm).
|
|
To send messages, use `ntfy publish`. To subscribe to topics, use `ntfy subscribe` (see [subscribing via CLI][subscribe/cli.md]
|
|
for details).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Arch Linux
|
|
ntfy can be installed using an [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ntfysh-bin/). You can use an [AUR helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers) like `paru`, `yay` or others to download, build and install ntfy and keep it up to date.
|
|
```
|
|
paru -S ntfysh-bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, run the following commands to install ntfy manually:
|
|
```
|
|
curl https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/ntfysh-bin.tar.gz | tar xzv
|
|
cd ntfysh-bin
|
|
makepkg -si
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## NixOS / Nix
|
|
ntfy is packaged in nixpkgs as `ntfy-sh`. It can be installed by adding the package name to the configuration file and calling `nixos-rebuild`. Alternatively, the following command can be used to install ntfy in the current user environment:
|
|
```
|
|
nix-env -iA ntfy-sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## macOS
|
|
The [ntfy CLI](subscribe/cli.md) (`ntfy publish` and `ntfy subscribe` only) is supported on macOS as well.
|
|
To install, please download the tarball, extract it and place it somewhere in your `PATH` (e.g. `/usr/local/bin/ntfy`).
|
|
|
|
If run as `root`, ntfy will look for its config at `/etc/ntfy/client.yml`. For all other users, it'll look for it at
|
|
`~/Library/Application Support/ntfy/client.yml` (sample included in the tarball).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/releases/download/v1.25.0/ntfy_v1.25.0_macOS_all.tar.gz > ntfy_v1.25.0_macOS_all.tar.gz
|
|
tar zxvf ntfy_v1.25.0_macOS_all.tar.gz
|
|
sudo cp -a ntfy_v1.25.0_macOS_all/ntfy /usr/local/bin/ntfy
|
|
mkdir ~/Library/Application\ Support/ntfy
|
|
cp ntfy_v1.25.0_macOS_all/client/client.yml ~/Library/Application\ Support/ntfy/client.yml
|
|
ntfy --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
If there is a desire to install ntfy via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), please create a
|
|
[GitHub issue](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues) to let me know. Also, you can build and run the
|
|
ntfy server on macOS as well, though I don't officially support that. Check out the [build instructions](develop.md)
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
The [ntfy CLI](subscribe/cli.md) (`ntfy publish` and `ntfy subscribe` only) is supported on Windows as well.
|
|
To install, please [download the latest ZIP](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/releases/download/v1.25.0/ntfy_v1.25.0_windows_x86_64.zip),
|
|
extract it and place the `ntfy.exe` binary somewhere in your `%Path%`.
|
|
|
|
The default path for the client config file is at `%AppData%\ntfy\client.yml` (not created automatically, sample in the ZIP file).
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
There is currently no installer for Windows, and the binary is not signed. If this is desired, please create a
|
|
[GitHub issue](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues) to let me know.
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
The [ntfy image](https://hub.docker.com/r/binwiederhier/ntfy) is available for amd64, armv6, 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](config.md#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/server.yml`.
|
|
|
|
Basic usage (no cache or additional config):
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -p 80:80 -it binwiederhier/ntfy serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With persistent cache (configured as command line arguments):
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run \
|
|
-v /var/cache/ntfy:/var/cache/ntfy \
|
|
-p 80:80 \
|
|
-it \
|
|
binwiederhier/ntfy \
|
|
--cache-file /var/cache/ntfy/cache.db \
|
|
serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With other config options, timezone, and non-root user (configured via `/etc/ntfy/server.yml`, see [configuration](config.md) for details):
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run \
|
|
-v /etc/ntfy:/etc/ntfy \
|
|
-e TZ=UTC \
|
|
-p 80:80 \
|
|
-u UID:GID \
|
|
-it \
|
|
binwiederhier/ntfy \
|
|
serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using docker-compose with non-root user:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
version: "2.1"
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
ntfy:
|
|
image: binwiederhier/ntfy
|
|
container_name: ntfy
|
|
command:
|
|
- serve
|
|
environment:
|
|
- TZ=UTC # optional: set desired timezone
|
|
user: UID:GID # optional: replace with your own user/group or uid/gid
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- /var/cache/ntfy:/var/cache/ntfy
|
|
- /etc/ntfy:/etc/ntfy
|
|
ports:
|
|
- 80:80
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If using a non-root user when running the docker version, be sure to chown the server.yml, user.db, and cache.db files to the same uid/gid.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you may wish to build a customized Docker image that can be run with fewer command-line arguments and without delivering the configuration file separately.
|
|
```
|
|
FROM binwiederhier/ntfy
|
|
COPY server.yml /etc/ntfy/server.yml
|
|
ENTRYPOINT ["ntfy", "serve"]
|
|
```
|
|
This image can be pushed to a container registry and shipped independently. All that's needed when running it is mapping ntfy's port to a host port.
|
