Description

## ntfy by cloudimg

ntfy (pronounced notify) is the popular open source, self-hosted pub/sub notification service - publish a message to a topic with a single HTTP POST from any script, server or application, and receive it in real time on the web app, the Android and iOS apps, or any subscriber. A privacy-respecting alternative to hosted push services. This Amazon Machine Image delivers ntfy fully installed and configured, so a private notification service is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is ntfy 2.24.

## Application Stack

The ntfy server - a single Go binary that serves both the API and the web app - runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy. The datastore is an embedded SQLite database for accounts and the message cache.

## Secure First Boot

Access control defaults to deny-all, so only authenticated users can read or publish. On the first boot of every instance a one shot service recreates an empty authentication database and creates a single administrator account with a per-instance password written to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.

## Ready To Use

Sign in as the administrator, create topics and access tokens, and start publishing with a single curl call. Subscribe in the web app or connect the official mobile apps to receive notifications in real time.
