# 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,
2021-12-05 21:57:37 +01:00
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**.
2021-12-18 04:38:29 +01:00
If you just want to [send messages using ntfy.sh](publish.md), you don't need to install anything. You can just use
`curl`.
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
## 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))
2021-12-20 00:32:16 +01:00
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))
2021-12-18 04:38:29 +01:00
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).

2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
## 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.
2022-06-23 21:12:13 +02:00
To install, please [download the tarball](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/releases/download/v1.27.2/ntfy_1.27.2_macOS_all.tar.gz),
2022-06-23 20:33:51 +02:00
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
2022-06-23 21:12:13 +02:00
curl -L https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/releases/download/v1.27.2/ntfy_1.27.2_macOS_all.tar.gz > ntfy_1.27.2_macOS_all.tar.gz
tar zxvf ntfy_1.27.2_macOS_all.tar.gz
sudo cp -a ntfy_1.27.2_macOS_all/ntfy /usr/local/bin/ntfy
mkdir ~/Library/Application\ Support/ntfy
2022-06-23 21:12:13 +02:00
cp ntfy_1.27.2_macOS_all/client/client.yml ~/Library/Application\ Support/ntfy/client.yml
ntfy --help
```
!!! info
2022-06-23 20:33:51 +02:00
There is a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/286) about making ntfy installable via
[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). I'll eventually get to that, but I'd also love if somebody else stepped up to do it.
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.
2022-06-23 21:12:13 +02:00
To install, please [download the latest ZIP](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/releases/download/v1.27.2/ntfy_1.27.2_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).
2022-06-04 20:29:21 +02:00
Also available in [Scoop's](https://scoop.sh) Main repository:
2022-06-04 20:27:26 +02:00
`scoop install ntfy`
!!! 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.
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
## Docker
2022-04-25 04:25:34 +02:00
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.
2021-12-04 02:38:21 +01:00
The server exposes its web UI and the API on port 80, so you need to expose that in Docker. To use the persistent
2021-12-17 15:32:59 +01:00
[message cache](config.md#message-cache), you also need to map a volume to `/var/cache/ntfy`. To change other settings,
2021-12-19 04:02:36 +01:00
you should map `/etc/ntfy`, so you can edit `/etc/ntfy/server.yml`.
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
2022-09-03 21:34:34 +02:00
!!! info
Note that the Docker image **does not contain a `/etc/ntfy/server.yml` file**. If you'd like to use a config file,
please manually create one outside the image and map it as a volume, e.g. via `-v /etc/ntfy:/etc/ntfy`. You may
use the [`server.yml` file on GitHub](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/blob/main/server/server.yml) as a template.
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
Basic usage (no cache or additional config):
```
2021-12-17 15:32:59 +01:00
docker run -p 80:80 -it binwiederhier/ntfy serve
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
```
With persistent cache (configured as command line arguments):
```bash
docker run \
-v /var/cache/ntfy:/var/cache/ntfy \
-p 80:80 \
-it \
binwiederhier/ntfy \
2022-06-12 16:43:42 +02:00
serve \
--cache-file /var/cache/ntfy/cache.db
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
```
With other config options, timezone, and non-root user (configured via `/etc/ntfy/server.yml`, see [configuration](config.md) for details):
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
```bash
docker run \
-v /etc/ntfy:/etc/ntfy \
-e TZ=UTC \
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
-p 80:80 \
2022-06-02 01:49:08 +02:00
-u UID:GID \
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
-it \
2021-12-17 15:32:59 +01:00
binwiederhier/ntfy \
serve
2021-12-02 05:08:12 +01:00
```
2022-06-02 01:49:08 +02:00
Using docker-compose with non-root user:
2022-04-01 00:16:56 +02:00
```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
```
2022-06-02 01:52:37 +02:00
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.
