<b>Ntfy</b> (pronounce: <i>notify</i>) is a simple HTTP-based <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern">pub-sub</a> notification service.
|
|
It allows you to send notifications <a href="#subscribe-phone">to your phone</a> or desktop via scripts from any computer,
|
|
entirely <b>without signup or cost</b>. It's also <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy">open source</a> if you want to run your own.

There are many ways to use Ntfy. You can send yourself messages for all sorts of things: When a long process finishes or fails,
|
|
or to notify yourself when somebody logs into your server(s). Or you may want to use it in your own app to distribute messages to subscribed clients.
|
|
Endless possibilities 😀. Be sure to check out the <a href="#examples">examples below</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="publish" class="anchor">Publishing messages</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Publishing messages can be done via PUT or POST using. Topics are created on the fly by subscribing or publishing to them.
|
|
Because there is no sign-up, <b>the topic is essentially a password</b>, so pick something that's not easily guessable.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Here's an example showing how to publish a message using <tt>curl</tt>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
curl -d "long process is done" ntfy.sh/mytopic
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Here's an example in JS with <tt>fetch()</tt> (see <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/tree/main/examples">full example</a>):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', {<br/>
|
|
method: 'POST', // PUT works too<br/>
|
|
body: 'Hello from the other side.'<br/>
|
|
})
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="subscribe" class="anchor">Subscribe to a topic</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can create and subscribe to a topic either in this web UI, or in your own app by subscribing to an
|
|
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource">EventSource</a>, a JSON feed, or raw feed.
|
|
</p>
|

<div id="subscribeBox">
|
|
<h3 id="subscribe-web" class="anchor">Subscribe in this Web UI</h3>
|
|
<p id="error"></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Subscribe to topics here and receive messages as <b>desktop notification</b>. Topics are not password-protected,
|
|
so choose a name that's not easy to guess. Once subscribed, you can publish messages via PUT/POST.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<form id="subscribeForm">
|

<h3 id="subscribe-phone" class="anchor">Subscribe from your phone</h3>

You can use the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.heckel.ntfy">Ntfy Android App</a>
|
|
to receive notifications directly on your phone. Just like the server, this app is also <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android">open source</a>.
|
|
Since I don't have an iPhone or a Mac, I didn't make an iOS app yet. I'd be awesome if <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/4">someone else could help out</a>.

<h3 id="subscribe-api" class="anchor">Subscribe via your app, or via the CLI</h3>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Using <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource">EventSource</a> in JS, you can consume
|
|
notifications like this (see <a href="example.html">live example</a>):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
const eventSource = new EventSource('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic/sse');<br/>
|
|
eventSource.onmessage = (e) => {<br/>
|
|
// Do something with e.data<br/>
|
|
};
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
You can also use the same <tt>/sse</tt> endpoint via <tt>curl</tt> or any other HTTP library:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/sse<br/>
|
|
event: open<br/>
|
|
data: {"id":"weSj9RtNkj","time":1635528898,"event":"open","topic":"mytopic"}<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
data: {"id":"p0M5y6gcCY","time":1635528909,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","message":"Hi!"}<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
event: keepalive<br/>
|
|
data: {"id":"VNxNIg5fpt","time":1635528928,"event":"keepalive","topic":"test"}
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
To consume JSON instead, use the <tt>/json</tt> endpoint, which prints one message per line:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/json<br/>
|
|
{"id":"SLiKI64DOt","time":1635528757,"event":"open","topic":"mytopic"}<br/>
|
|
{"id":"hwQ2YpKdmg","time":1635528741,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","message":"Hi!"}<br/>
|
|
{"id":"DGUDShMCsc","time":1635528787,"event":"keepalive","topic":"mytopic"}
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Or use the <tt>/raw</tt> endpoint if you need something super simple (empty lines are keepalive messages):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/raw<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
This is a notification<br/>
|
|
And another one with a smiley face 😀

<h3 id="fetching-cached-messages" class="anchor">Fetching cached messages (<tt>since=</tt>)</h3>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Messages are cached on disk for {{.CacheDuration}} to account for network interruptions of subscribers.
|
|
You can read back what you missed by using the <tt>since=</tt> query parameter. It takes either a
|
|
duration (e.g. <tt>10m</tt> or <tt>30s</tt>), a Unix timestamp (e.g. <tt>1635528757</tt>) or <tt>all</tt> (all
|
|
cached messages).
|
|
</p>

</code>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="polling" class="anchor">Polling (<tt>poll=1</tt>)</h3>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
You can also just poll for messages if you don't like the long-standing connection using the <tt>poll=1</tt>
|
|
query parameter. The connection will end after all available messages have been read. This parameter can be
|
|
combined with <tt>since=</tt> (defaults to <tt>since=all</tt>).
|

curl -s "ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?poll=1"

|
<h3 id="multiple-topics" class="anchor">Subscribing to multiple topics (<tt>topic1,topic2,...</tt>)</h3>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
It's possible to subscribe to multiple topics in one HTTP call by providing a
|
|
comma-separated list of topics in the URL. This allows you to reduce the number of connections you have to maintain:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic1,mytopic2/json<br/>
|
|
{"id":"0OkXIryH3H","time":1637182619,"event":"open","topic":"mytopic1,mytopic2,mytopic3"}<br/>

<h3 id="example-alerts" class="anchor">Example: A long process is done: backups, copying data, pipelines, ...</h3>

<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|

I started adding notifications pretty much all of my scripts. Typically, I just chain the <tt>curl</tt> call
|
|
directly to the command I'm running. The following example will either send <i>Laptop backup succeeded</i>
|
|
or ⚠️ <i>Laptop backup failed</i> directly to my phone:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
rsync -a root@laptop /backups/laptop \<br/>
|

&& zfs snapshot ... \<br/>
|
|
&& curl -d "Laptop backup succeeded" ntfy.sh/backups \<br/>

<b id="multiple-subscribers" class="anchor">What happens if there are multiple subscribers to the same topic?</b><br/>
|
|
As per usual with pub-sub, all subscribers receive notifications if they are

subscribed to a topic.
|

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b id="can-you-spy-on-me" class="anchor">Will you know what topics exist, can you spy on me?</b><br/>
|
|
If you don't trust me or your messages are sensitive, run your own server. It's <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy">open source</a>.
|
|
That said, the logs do not contain any topic names or other details about you.
|
|
Messages are cached for {{.CacheDuration}} to facilitate service restarts, message polling and to overcome
|
|
client network disruptions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b id="selfhosted" class="anchor">Can I self-host it?</b><br/>
|
|
Yes. The server (including this Web UI) can be self-hosted, and the Android app supports adding topics from
|
|
your own server as well. There are <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy#installation">install instructions</a>
|

on GitHub.

<p>
|
|
<b id="why-firebase" class="anchor">Why is Firebase used?</b><br/>
|
|
In addition to caching messages locally and delivering them to long-polling subscribers, all messages are also
|
|
published to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) (if <tt>FirebaseKeyFile</tt> is set, which it is on ntfy.sh). This
|
|
is to facilitate instant notifications on Android.

|
<h2 id="privacy" class="anchor">Privacy policy</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Neither the server nor the app record any personal information, or share any of the messages and topics with
|
|
any outside service. All data is exclusively used to make the service function properly. The one exception
|
|
is the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) service, which is required to provide instant Android notifications (see
|
|
FAQ for details).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The web server does not log or otherwise store request paths, remote IP addresses or even topics or messages,
|
|
aside from a short on-disk cache (for {{.CacheDuration}}) to support service restarts.
