Hi I’m Phil 👋, I’m a software engineer, and I maintain an open source push notification tool called ntfy. I’m also German 🇩🇪, and a big fan of 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸, and a dad of two 👦👧
Go to “http://ntfy.example.com/mytopic/json?poll=1”
With your selfhosted URL and your topic filled in. See what you get back. You can also enable debugging to see if there any clues in the logs, both Android or the server.
Can you elaborate what you mean by “it is asking”? Are you using the Android app or iOS app? Which screen? Can you provide a step by step of what you’re doing, or a screenshot?
Use ntfy.sh. It’s open source and has a free server.
Disclaimer: I made it ;-)
Thank you for contributing to the magic of the old school internet.
My question: How does one get to write an RFC? Do you have to become part of a certain group, or just be known in certain circles, or do you just start writing and then submit it somewhere? If I had a great idea that I think should become an RFC, what is the process to make this a reality?
--message-expiry-duration
is an option that you can pass when creating a new tier (in your selfhosted instance). It is equivalent to thecache-duration
for users publishing in that tier.For instance, if you are a ntfy Pro user, your messages are cached much longer than the normal 12h (see https://ntfy.sh/v1/tiers).
The naming is a little odd. I think
cache-duration
should probably be called something else.
