ntfy server v1.29.1

Released November 17, 2022

This is mostly a bugfix release to address the high load on ntfy.sh. There are now two new options that allow synchronous batch-writing of messages to the cache. This avoids database locking, and subsequent pileups of waiting requests.

Bug fixes:

  • High-load servers: Allow asynchronous batch-writing of messages to cache via cache-batch-* options (#498/#502)
  • Sender column in cache.db shows invalid IP (#503)

Documentation:

  • GitHub Actions example (#492, thanks to @ksurl)
  • UnifiedPush ACL clarification (#497, thanks to @bt90)
  • Install instructions for Kustomize (#463, thanks to @l-maciej)

Other things:

  • Put ntfy.sh docs on GitHub pages to reduce AWS outbound traffic cost (#491)
  • The ntfy.sh server hardware was upgraded to a bigger box. If you'd like to help out carrying the server cost, sponsorships and donations 💸 would be very much appreciated

ntfy server v1.29.0

Thanks to some love on HN, we got so many new ntfy users trying out ntfy and joining the chat rooms. Welcome to the ntfy community to all of you! We also got a ton of new sponsors and donations 💸, which is amazing. I'd like to thank all of you for believing in the project, and for helping me pay the server cost. The HN spike increased the AWS cost quite a bit.

This release brings two new CLI options to wait for a command to finish, or for a PID to exit. It also adds more detail to trace debug output.

ntfy iOS app v1.2

Released June 16, 2022

This release adds support for authentication/authorization for self-hosted servers. It also allows you to set your server as the default server for new topics.

Bug fixes:

  • Add validation for selfhosted server URL (#290)

ntfy server v1.25.2

Released June 2, 2022

This release adds the ability to set a log level to facilitate easier debugging of live systems. It also solves a production problem with a few over-users that resulted in Firebase quota problems (only applying to the over-users). We now block visitors from using Firebase if they trigger a quota exceeded response.

On top of that, we updated the Firebase SDK and are now building the release in GitHub Actions. We've also got two more translations: Chinese/Simplified and Dutch.

Features:

  • Advanced logging, with different log levels and hot reloading of the log level (#284)

Bugs:

  • Respect Firebase "quota exceeded" response for topics, block Firebase publishing for user for 10min (#289)

ntfy iOS app v1.1

Released May 31, 2022

In this release of the iOS app, we add message priorities (mapped to iOS interruption levels), tags and emojis, action buttons to open websites or perform HTTP requests (in the notification and the detail view), a custom click action when the notification is tapped, and various other fixes.

It also adds support for self-hosted servers (albeit not supporting auth yet). The self-hosted server needs to be configured to forward poll requests to upstream ntfy.sh for push notifications to work (see iOS push notifications for details).

Features:

  • Message priority support (no ticket)
  • Tags/emojis support (no ticket)
  • Action buttons support (no ticket)
  • Click action support (no ticket)

Bug fixes:

  • iOS UI not always updating properly (#267)

ntfy server v1.24.0

Released May 28, 2022

This release of the ntfy server brings supporting features for the ntfy iOS app. Most importantly, it enables support for self-hosted servers in combination with the iOS app. This is to overcome the restrictive Apple development environment.

Features:

  • Regularly send Firebase keepalive messages to ~poll topic to support self-hosted servers (no ticket)
  • Add subscribe filter to query exact messages by ID (no ticket)
  • Support for poll_request messages to support iOS push notifications for self-hosted servers (no ticket)

ntfy iOS app v1.0

Released May 25, 2022

This is the first version of the ntfy iOS app. It supports only ntfy.sh (no selfhosted servers) and only messages + title (no priority, tags, attachments, ...). I'll rapidly add (hopefully) most of the other ntfy features, and then I'll focus on self-hosted servers.

The app is now available in the App Store.
