How to send notif via Ntfy but not using httpS, only http (internal docker network)

[kuolemaaa]

I container that I use uses this shoutrrr library but it contact my ntfy instance by https.

The problem is that I want this container to contact my ntfy instance using the docker network without TLS

Took me a bit to solve this one, but you can accomplish this with a custom script.

I am currently using an app called Scrutiny that utilizes these shoutrr urls, so in my scrutiny.yaml file I applied the notify url like so;

version: 1
notify:
  urls:
    - "script:///opt/scrutiny/config/ntfy.sh"

and then create a script called ntfy.sh under my config directory that looks like this;

#! /bin/bash
curl 'http://ntfy/topic/publish?message=Hard+drive+errors+detected!&priority=high'

notice that my curl address is not a domain nor an IP address, it's simply http://ntfy .. assuming scrutiny and ntfy share the same docker network you can just leave this ntfy part as the declared container_name, docker's built in DNS will resolve it to the correct IP address in the docker network :)

This worked for me with a docker network that had no internet access to allow notifications to get through. The script I showed here is very basic and gets the job done in notifying you that something is wrong, but is not very descriptive of course .. I plan on making this ntfy.sh pass the proper information to ntfy eventually to get a proper notification.

If you create a better script at any point feel free to post it ! hope this helps.
