Ansible role ntfy

Installs and configures ntfy (server) on linux systems.

Requirements

No special system requirements. ansible_version_minimum: "4.0.0" or newer is required.d.

Role Variables

Here comes a list of variables you can change to meet your requirements. The defaults are listed alongside the variable names.

Version variables

---

ntfy_version: latest

Determines which version of ntfy you want to install. Valid values are latest or precise versions like 2.0.0.

Installation variables

---

ntfy_installation_mode: binary

There are three possible ways to install ntfy:

• binary: Install ntfy by downloading a binary release file.
• package_download: Download a platorm specific installation package (.deb, .rpm) for installation. This is supported by operating systems of the Debian and RedHat family.
• package_repo: A repo is added to the standard package management toolchain and ntfy is installed from this repo afterwards. This is only supported by operating systems of the Debian family.

---

Only used when binary is the installation mode.

Choose whether to install a systemd service unit along with the binary.

Configuration variables

ntfy_config_mode: dict

Choose how you want to configure the ntfy server instance (will be written to /etc/ntfy/server.yml). Look at the ntfy server settings documentation for valid values. The ways for configuration are:

• dict: A dictionary defined via ntfy_config_dict will be used for that.
• template: A template will be used that is set via ntfy_config_template.

ntfy_config_dict:
  base-url: "http://localhost"
  cache-file: "{{ ntfy_dirs_cache }}/cache.db"
  attachment-cache-dir: "{{ ntfy_dirs_attachment }}"

Build a dictionary that takes the same keys/values that are allowed by the ntfy server configuration.
