Security

Users

You can securise your topic and ntfy instance by only allowing connected users. For that follow the next instructions:

  • add to your docker-compose the following
environment:
      NTFY_ENABLE_LOGIN: true                  # Enable the login module
      NTFY_AUTH_FILE: /var/lib/ntfy/auth.db    # Create the users/ACL database
      NTFY_AUTH_DEFAULT_ACCESS: deny-all       # If the user isn't in an ACL he can't see any topic can be change by write/read-only
  • connect to your docker by shell and create your users, the password for the user will be asked after hit enter for the command
ntfy user add --role=<admin/user> <username>

ACL

To allow your user to use the different topics you can setup ACLs, use the following command:

ntfy access <username> <topic> <read/write/read-write/deny>
