if you're using swag, you can just add to the ntfy container label, swag=enable if swag has auto-proxy enabled.
I don't know what swag is, I currently use authelia with nginx proxy manager and it is impossible to use it with a local ntfy server, I have tried a thousand ways and ntfy https://ntfy.sh/ is not viable without a dashbord web interface protected by a user and pass
And how do you want to send alerts with authelia in front?
Btw are you aware of authentication within ntfy? https://reddit.com/r/selfhosted/s/1IoWDROCD5
So I ask is there any way to password protect the ntfy dashboard on the server?
in fact i run ntfy server on docker on a vps tied with a cronjob but it scares me to think that anyone can manipulate and see my complete dashboard.
Then use it through a VPN (e.g. WireGuard), that's how I do it. Only expose services to the internet if you really have to.
I have it also in a vpn wireguard and I do portforwarding from a local machine using a vps bridge but the point is not that the point is that lan or wan should have an authentication panel is basic in any web application I do not understand how ntfy has not done that yet.
Sorry my bad, but why does it matter as long as you secure any channel?
you have to set the setting to make it reverse proxy aware. swag is a nginx based reverse proxy with a lot of builtin configs for various services and customizations.
if you really don't want anyone to access your topics, you can set default permissions to none and then manually allow per topic for each user (selfhosted ntfy)
For sure set the authentication inside NTFY itself. In terms of protecting NTFY with Authelia that is what I did to allow iOS app to receive notifications and being able to see the messages in the app.
Add below in Authelia configuration.yml
- domain: 'ntfy.example.com'
resources:
- '^/yourtopic/json\?poll=1&'
methods:
- GET
policy: bypass
change domain to your NTFY hostname and 'yourtopic' to your topic name.
I have a default config that protects everything else and bypass only this one so if you try to access your NTFY URL in the browser it will ask you to authenticate, but the iOS app will be able to do get the message from your NTFY server bypassing Authelia. Obviously, the topic itself requires built-in NTFY authentication so no one without the credentials cannot get the messages and no one can push new messages as well.
Not sure how it would work with Android but you can protect your NTFY instance with Authelia and then see in nginx logs what URIs Android app is trying to reach and figure out what is required to get it work. Hope that helps a bit ;)
So do you add 'ntfy.example.com' in your one/two_factor policies? And then a separate 'ntfy.example.com' with the resource regex for bypass policy?
For example:
- domain:
- ntfy.example.com
policy: two_factor
subject:
- ["group:admins"]
- domain:
- ntfy.example.com
methods:
- GET
resources: '^/test([/?].*)?$'
policy: bypass
I think it is the other way around. In the config file you first add more specific policy, and then the more general one. Because the first policy that the request matches will apply and next rules will not apply. Please refer to the docs, everything is there. There is also a specific section for rule matching.
