What is ntfy?

Your own ntfy server for every push alert.

Your Backup script finishes, a disk fills up, someone logs in via SSH, and your phone buzzes right away. That is ntfy: an open-source push notification service where any script, cron job or app sends a simple HTTP POST or PUT to a topic, and every phone or browser subscribed to that topic gets the message. On your own VPS, those topics, messages and users stay on a server you control.

Coolify handles the setup: pick ntfy in the marketplace, deploy it in one click, add your subdomain and subscribe in the iOS or Android app. No hand-written Docker Compose file or reverse proxy needed. With root access you still decide the rest: lock topics down with users and access tokens, tweak the config over SSH, and run Home Assistant, uptime checks or CI runners next to ntfy that report straight to it.

Your own ntfy server for every push alert.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Ntfy

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

Ntfy hosting means running the open-source ntfy push notification server on your own VPS. ntfy turns any HTTP PUT or POST into a push notification: your scripts publish to a topic, and every phone, browser or desktop subscribed to it gets the message. At ZAP-Hosting you deploy ntfy in one click via Coolify and keep full root access.

  • Open-source pub-sub notification server
  • Apps for iOS, Android and the web

Order your VPS, open Coolify and pick ntfy from the one-click marketplace. Coolify pulls the container, starts the service and can put it behind your domain with HTTPS. You don't have to write a Docker Compose file or set up a reverse proxy by hand. If you prefer, you can still install ntfy manually over SSH. One-Click Apps guide in the Help Center

  • Order the VPS
  • Deploy ntfy in Coolify
  • Subscribe to your topics in the app

The ntfy software is open source and free to use. When you self-host it, you pay only for the VPS it runs on. In return you get a private server with your own users, access rules and limits instead of a shared public instance. Current prices for every plan are shown in the pricing section of this page.

  • Software: open source
  • You pay for the VPS only

ntfy itself is lightweight and needs few resources, so you mainly size your VPS for everything else you want on it, such as Home Assistant, uptime monitoring or CI runners, plus the attachments you keep. If your setup grows, you can move to a bigger plan later.

  • ntfy alone uses little RAM and CPU
  • Plan for the apps you run next to it

Yes. In the ntfy app, add a subscription, choose to use another server and enter your server URL, then subscribe to your topics. Protected topics ask for your username and password. On iOS, instant delivery for self-hosted servers runs through the upstream ntfy.sh relay, which you enable with one setting in your server config.

  • Enter your own server URL in the app
  • Sign in for protected topics

You decide who gets in. ntfy supports users, access tokens and per-topic read and write rules, and with deny-all as the default access nobody can read or publish without permission. Coolify can serve ntfy over HTTPS on your own subdomain, the VPS sits in a DDoS-protected network, and you control when updates are applied.

  • Users and access tokens
  • Deny-all default access
  • HTTPS on your own subdomain

Yes. Point a domain or subdomain such as ntfy.example.com to your VPS IP with an A record, then add it to the ntfy service in Coolify. A dedicated subdomain gives the apps a clean base URL and lets Coolify request the HTTPS certificate for it.

  • A record to your VPS IP
  • Set the domain in Coolify

Yes. It's a full VPS with root access, so you can deploy more apps from the Coolify marketplace or install anything else yourself. Many self-hosters run Home Assistant, uptime monitoring or Backup tools next to ntfy and let them send their alerts straight to it. Coolify guide in the Help Center

  • More apps from the Coolify marketplace
  • Root access for your own installs

Every VPS gets one automatic daily Backup, included without ZapX Pass. With ZapX Pass you can see and restore those daily Backups, create your own manual Backups and snapshots, keep daily Backups for longer and manage your Backup slots and storage limit.

  • Daily automatic Backup included
  • Restore and snapshots with ZapX Pass

Yes, you can cancel anytime in your dashboard. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term, and your ntfy server keeps running until then. How cancellation works

  • Cancel anytime in the dashboard
  • Takes effect at the end of the term

Why don't my iPhone notifications arrive from my ntfy server?
On iOS, instant push for self-hosted servers goes through the upstream ntfy.sh relay. Check that upstream-base-url is set in your server config and that base-url matches the URL in the app. I can walk you through both.
