There is no Windows version to self-host ntfy

Open JPElectron opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

It would seem the ntfy windows version is only for displaying notifications and not acting as a self-hosted server ???

Could a Windows server version which runs on a custom TCP port be released?

This would be very desirable for home automation setups where the less-than-stellar vendor only supports their own notification method but it's very slow or down most of the time.... Some example applications that run on Windows but notifications arrive too late or not at all: HomeSeer, NxWitness, Sighthound video, SyncBackSE

Yeah, I could run it in Docker, but ... why?

As of today, I have no desire to support the ntfy server on Windows. The client is relatively trivial, but for Windows, it'll likely require more work. If somebody put in the work to adjust and compile it for Windows, I'd likely be alright with it, but I won't put work into it.

Why not run it in WSL2? I run a Nextcloud server in WSL2 and it's just as stable as a standalone server.

Yeah, but then I'm having to run WSL also... I guess I'll take the hint dev dislikes Windows and I should go elsewhere, like Gotify or other suggestion?
