# ntfy Notification Module Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Add a `my.profiles.ntfy` NixOS module that runs an auth-required self-hosted ntfy server on jupiter, exposes a homepage tile, and wires a Home Assistant `rest_command` for publishing notifications.
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture:** A single profile module under `modules/environments/ntfy/`, following the repo's `my.profiles.<name>` pattern. It configures `services.ntfy-sh` with `auth-default-access = deny-all`, opens the firewall, registers a homepage tile, and — when the home-assistant profile is enabled — merges a `rest_command.ntfy_send` into `services.home-assistant.config`. No secrets touch the Nix store; credentials are provisioned manually by the operator, and the only secret lives in HA's `secrets.yaml`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tech Stack:** Nix (flake-parts NixOS config), nixpkgs `services.ntfy-sh`, `services.home-assistant`, nixfmt-rfc-style.
|
||||
|
||||
## Global Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
- Follow the profile pattern exactly: `let cfg = config.my.profiles.<name>; in { options.my.profiles.<name>.enable = lib.mkEnableOption "..."; config = lib.mkIf cfg.enable { ... }; }`.
|
||||
- Namespace is `my.profiles.ntfy`.
|
||||
- Homepage self-registration uses `my.homepage.services` (list of `{ group; name; description; href; icon; }`).
|
||||
- `hostName` is bound from `config.networking.hostName`, matching sibling modules.
|
||||
- All `.nix` files must be formatted with `nixfmt-rfc-style`.
|
||||
- No secret values may appear in any `.nix` file (nothing enters the Nix store). The only secret is `ntfy_password` in `/var/lib/hass/secrets.yaml`, provisioned by hand.
|
||||
- Evaluation check used throughout (runs on darwin without a Linux builder):
|
||||
`nix eval '.#nixosConfigurations.jupiter.config.system.build.toplevel.drvPath'`
|
||||
- Do NOT run `nixos-rebuild` or SSH to jupiter; deploy + provisioning are operator steps the user runs on the host.
|
||||

||||
### Task 1: Create the ntfy server module (server + homepage tile)
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Create: `modules/environments/ntfy/default.nix`
|
||||
- Modify: `modules/environments/default.nix` (add `./ntfy` to `imports`)
|
||||
- Modify: `machines/jupiter/environments.nix` (enable the profile)
|
||||
|
||||
**Interfaces:**
|
||||
- Consumes: `config.networking.hostName`; `services.ntfy-sh` (nixpkgs); `my.homepage.services` (repo homepage module).
|
||||
- Produces: option `my.profiles.ntfy.enable` (bool), `my.profiles.ntfy.port` (port, default 2586), `my.profiles.ntfy.topic` (str, default "ha"), `my.profiles.ntfy.haIntegration.enable` (bool, default true). Later tasks rely on `cfg.port`, `cfg.topic`, and `cfg.haIntegration.enable`.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 1: Create the module file**
|
||||
|
||||
Create `modules/environments/ntfy/default.nix`:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# self-hosted push notification server (ntfy)
|
||||
{
|
||||
config,
|
||||
lib,
|
||||
...
|
||||
}:
|
||||
let
|
||||
cfg = config.my.profiles.ntfy;
|
||||
hostName = config.networking.hostName;
|
||||
in
|
||||
{
|
||||
options.my.profiles.ntfy = with lib; {
|
||||
enable = mkEnableOption "ntfy notification server";
|
||||
|
||||
port = mkOption {
|
||||
type = types.port;
|
||||
default = 2586;
|
||||
description = "HTTP port ntfy listens on.";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
topic = mkOption {
|
||||
type = types.str;
|
||||
default = "ha";
|
||||
description = "Topic Home Assistant publishes notifications to.";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
haIntegration.enable = mkOption {
|
||||
type = types.bool;
|
||||
default = true;
|
||||
description = "Wire a Home Assistant rest_command that publishes to ntfy.";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
config = lib.mkIf cfg.enable {
|
||||
services.ntfy-sh = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
settings = {
|
||||
base-url = "http://${hostName}:${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
listen-http = ":${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
auth-file = "/var/lib/ntfy-sh/user.db";
|
||||
auth-default-access = "deny-all";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ cfg.port ];
|
||||
|
||||
my.homepage.services = [
|
||||
{
|
||||
group = "Services";
|
||||
name = "ntfy";
|
||||
description = "Push notifications";
|
||||
href = "http://${hostName}:${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
icon = "ntfy.svg";
|
||||
}
|
||||
];
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 2: Register the module in the environments import list**
|
||||
|
||||
In `modules/environments/default.nix`, add `./ntfy` to the `imports` list (place it near the other service modules, e.g. after `./home-assistant`):
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
./home-assistant
|
||||
./ntfy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 3: Enable the profile on jupiter**
|
||||
|
||||
In `machines/jupiter/environments.nix`, inside the `my.profiles = { ... }` block, add:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
ntfy.enable = true;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 4: Format the new file**
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `nixfmt-rfc-style modules/environments/ntfy/default.nix`
|
||||
Expected: exits 0, no diff on re-run.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 5: Evaluate the configuration**
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `nix eval '.#nixosConfigurations.jupiter.config.system.build.toplevel.drvPath'`
|
||||
Expected: prints a `/nix/store/...-nixos-system-jupiter-*.drv` path with no evaluation errors. (This forces full module-system evaluation, catching option/type mistakes, without building a Linux derivation.)
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 6: Confirm the ntfy settings evaluate as expected**
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `nix eval --json '.#nixosConfigurations.jupiter.config.services.ntfy-sh.settings'`
|
||||
Expected JSON includes `"auth-default-access":"deny-all"`, `"listen-http":":2586"`, and `"base-url":"http://jupiter:2586"`.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add modules/environments/ntfy/default.nix modules/environments/default.nix machines/jupiter/environments.nix
|
||||
git commit -m "feat(ntfy): add self-hosted notification server module

|
||||
### Task 2: Wire the Home Assistant rest_command
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Modify: `modules/environments/ntfy/default.nix` (add HA integration block)
|
||||
|
||||
**Interfaces:**
|
||||
- Consumes: `cfg.port`, `cfg.topic`, `cfg.haIntegration.enable` (Task 1); `config.my.profiles.home-assistant.enable`; `services.home-assistant.config` (nixpkgs / repo home-assistant module).
|
||||
- Produces: `services.home-assistant.config.rest_command.ntfy_send`, callable from HA automations as `service: rest_command.ntfy_send`.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the HA integration block to the module**
|
||||
|
||||
The module currently has a single `config = lib.mkIf cfg.enable { ... };`. Change it to merge two conditional configs with `lib.mkMerge` so the HA wiring is gated independently. Replace the `config = lib.mkIf cfg.enable { ... };` assignment with:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
config = lib.mkMerge [
|
||||
(lib.mkIf cfg.enable {
|
||||
services.ntfy-sh = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
settings = {
|
||||
base-url = "http://${hostName}:${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
listen-http = ":${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
auth-file = "/var/lib/ntfy-sh/user.db";
|
||||
auth-default-access = "deny-all";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ cfg.port ];
|
||||
|
||||
my.homepage.services = [
|
||||
{
|
||||
group = "Services";
|
||||
name = "ntfy";
|
||||
description = "Push notifications";
|
||||
href = "http://${hostName}:${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
icon = "ntfy.svg";
|
||||
}
|
||||
];
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
(lib.mkIf (cfg.enable && cfg.haIntegration.enable && config.my.profiles.home-assistant.enable) {
|
||||
services.home-assistant.config.rest_command.ntfy_send = {
|
||||
url = "http://${hostName}:${toString cfg.port}/${cfg.topic}";
|
||||
method = "POST";
|
||||
payload = "{{ message }}";
|
||||
content_type = "text/plain";
|
||||
username = "homeassistant";
|
||||
password = "!secret ntfy_password";
|
||||
headers = {
|
||||
Title = "{{ title | default('Home Assistant') }}";
|
||||
Priority = "{{ priority | default('default') }}";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
})
|
||||
];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(The first `mkIf cfg.enable` block is identical to Task 1's config body — it is repeated here because the whole `config` assignment is being replaced with the `mkMerge` form.)
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 2: Format the file**
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `nixfmt-rfc-style modules/environments/ntfy/default.nix`
|
||||
Expected: exits 0, no diff on re-run.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 3: Evaluate the configuration**
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `nix eval '.#nixosConfigurations.jupiter.config.system.build.toplevel.drvPath'`
|
||||
Expected: prints a `.drv` path, no evaluation errors (confirms the `rest_command` merges cleanly into the HA config the home-assistant module already defines).
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 4: Confirm the rest_command evaluated into HA config**
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `nix eval --json '.#nixosConfigurations.jupiter.config.services.home-assistant.config.rest_command.ntfy_send'`
|
||||
Expected JSON includes `"url":"http://jupiter:2586/ha"`, `"username":"homeassistant"`, and `"password":"!secret ntfy_password"`.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add modules/environments/ntfy/default.nix
|
||||
git commit -m "feat(ntfy): wire Home Assistant rest_command publisher

## Operator steps (run by the user on jupiter — not part of the agent's task loop)
|
||||
|
||||
These require the host and manual credentials, so they are performed by the user after the branch is merged/deployed:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Deploy: `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake '.#jupiter'`
|
||||
2. Create ntfy users:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ntfy user add homeassistant # set a password
|
||||
ntfy access homeassistant ha write-only
|
||||
ntfy user add --role=admin admin
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Add the publisher password to Home Assistant secrets:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# /var/lib/hass/secrets.yaml
|
||||
ntfy_password: <the homeassistant user's password>
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Restart Home Assistant, then test from an automation / Developer Tools:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
service: rest_command.ntfy_send
|
||||
data:
|
||||
message: "ntfy test"
|
||||
title: "Home Assistant"
|
||||
priority: high
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. Subscribe from the ntfy app as `admin` to receive the message.

**Spec coverage:**
|

- Module structure + options → Task 1. ✔
|
||||
- Server config (deny-all, port, firewall) → Task 1 (steps 1, 6). ✔
|
||||
- Homepage tile → Task 1. ✔
|
||||
- Registration in `default.nix` + enable on jupiter → Task 1 (steps 2–3). ✔
|
||||
- HA `rest_command` wiring, gated on HA profile, `!secret` password → Task 2. ✔
|
||||
- Manual provisioning runbook → Operator steps section. ✔
|
||||
- Verification (eval/build + nixfmt) → per-task steps. ✔
|
||||
- Out-of-scope items (no seeding, no sops, no reverse proxy) → honored; no tasks added for them. ✔
|
||||
|
||||
**Placeholder scan:** No TBD/TODO/"handle edge cases". The one "similar to Task 1" note is accompanied by the full repeated code, per the no-placeholders rule. ✔
|
||||
|
||||
**Type consistency:** `cfg.port`/`cfg.topic`/`cfg.haIntegration.enable` defined in Task 1 and used identically in Task 2. `rest_command.ntfy_send` name consistent across Task 2 and operator steps. Homepage tile shape matches sibling modules. ✔

# ntfy self-hosted notification module — design
|
||||
|
||||
Date: 2026-07-05
|
||||
Target machine: jupiter
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Add a NixOS profile module that runs and configures a self-hosted
|
||||
[ntfy](https://ntfy.sh) notification server on jupiter, with authentication
|
||||
required, a homepage dashboard tile, and out-of-the-box plumbing so Home
|
||||
Assistant automations can publish push notifications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scope decisions (from brainstorming)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Service:** ntfy (self-hosted server), not Apprise/Gotify/HA-only.
|
||||
- **Access control:** authentication required (`auth-default-access = deny-all`).
|
||||
- **Home Assistant:** the module wires an HA `rest_command` so automations can
|
||||
send notifications out of the box.
|
||||
- **Credentials:** fully manual. The module runs the server and wires the HA
|
||||
plumbing, but does **not** seed users or store any secret. The operator
|
||||
provisions ntfy users/passwords by hand, and the only secret lives in Home
|
||||
Assistant's `secrets.yaml` — never in the world-readable Nix store.
|
||||
|
||||
## Module structure
|
||||
|
||||
New module at `modules/environments/ntfy/default.nix` following the repo's
|
||||
standard profile pattern (`my.profiles.<name>` with `options` +
|
||||
`config = lib.mkIf cfg.enable { ... }`).
|
||||
|
||||
Registration:
|
||||
1. Add `./ntfy` to the `imports` list in `modules/environments/default.nix`.
|
||||
2. Enable via `my.profiles.ntfy.enable = true;` in
|
||||
`machines/jupiter/environments.nix`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Options
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
options.my.profiles.ntfy = with lib; {
|
||||
enable = mkEnableOption "ntfy notification server";
|
||||
|
||||
port = mkOption {
|
||||
type = types.port;
|
||||
default = 2586;
|
||||
description = "HTTP port ntfy listens on.";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
topic = mkOption {
|
||||
type = types.str;
|
||||
default = "ha";
|
||||
description = "Topic Home Assistant publishes notifications to.";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
haIntegration.enable = mkOption {
|
||||
type = types.bool;
|
||||
default = true;
|
||||
description = "Wire a Home Assistant rest_command that publishes to ntfy.";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Server configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
config = lib.mkIf cfg.enable {
|
||||
services.ntfy-sh = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
settings = {
|
||||
base-url = "http://${hostName}:${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
listen-http = ":${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
auth-file = "/var/lib/ntfy-sh/user.db";
|
||||
auth-default-access = "deny-all";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ cfg.port ];
|
||||
|
||||
my.homepage.services = [
|
||||
{
|
||||
group = "Services";
|
||||
name = "ntfy";
|
||||
description = "Push notifications";
|
||||
href = "http://${hostName}:${toString cfg.port}";
|
||||
icon = "ntfy.svg";
|
||||
}
|
||||
];
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`hostName` is bound from `config.networking.hostName`, matching the pattern in
|
||||
the home-assistant and paperless modules.
|
||||
|
||||
## Home Assistant wiring
|
||||
|
||||
Applied only when ntfy, the HA integration flag, and the home-assistant profile
|
||||
are all enabled:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
lib.mkIf (cfg.enable && cfg.haIntegration.enable
|
||||
&& config.my.profiles.home-assistant.enable) {
|
||||
services.home-assistant.config.rest_command.ntfy_send = {
|
||||
url = "http://${hostName}:${toString cfg.port}/${cfg.topic}";
|
||||
method = "POST";
|
||||
payload = "{{ message }}";
|
||||
content_type = "text/plain";
|
||||
username = "homeassistant";
|
||||
password = "!secret ntfy_password";
|
||||
headers = {
|
||||
Title = "{{ title | default('Home Assistant') }}";
|
||||
Priority = "{{ priority | default('default') }}";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
- `services.home-assistant.config` is an attrset that NixOS merges, so adding
|
||||
`rest_command.ntfy_send` from this module composes with the config the
|
||||
home-assistant module already defines.
|
||||
- `password = "!secret ntfy_password"` is a whole-value `!secret` reference. The
|
||||
upstream home-assistant module unquotes such values when rendering the config
|
||||
(the same mechanism the repo already relies on for `!include`), so the secret
|
||||
resolves from `/var/lib/hass/secrets.yaml` at runtime and never enters the
|
||||
Nix store. See `reference_nixos_ha_yaml_includes`.
|
||||
- `rest_command` is chosen over the `notify` REST platform because ntfy's
|
||||
per-topic URL path plus header-based metadata map cleanly onto rest_command,
|
||||
whereas the notify platform's fixed JSON payload fights ntfy's format.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual provisioning (operator runbook)
|
||||
|
||||
Because credentials are fully manual, after the first `nixos-rebuild switch`
|
||||
run these once on jupiter:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Dedicated publisher for Home Assistant, scoped to the ha topic
|
||||
ntfy user add homeassistant # prompts for a password
|
||||
ntfy access homeassistant ha write-only
|
||||
|
||||
# Admin account for the app / web UI
|
||||
ntfy user add --role=admin admin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add the homeassistant password to Home Assistant's secrets:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# /var/lib/hass/secrets.yaml
|
||||
ntfy_password: <the homeassistant user's password>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Restart Home Assistant. Automations can then publish with:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
service: rest_command.ntfy_send
|
||||
data:
|
||||
message: "Garage door left open"
|
||||
title: "Alert"
|
||||
priority: high
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Subscribers (phone/desktop ntfy app) log in as `admin` (or another user granted
|
||||
read access) to receive messages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing / verification
|
||||
|
||||
- Build check: `nix build '.#nixosConfigurations.jupiter.config.system.build.toplevel'`
|
||||
must succeed with the module enabled.
|
||||
- `nixfmt-rfc-style` clean on the new file.
|
||||
- Post-deploy manual verification (documented, not automated): create the users
|
||||
above, publish a test message from HA, confirm it reaches a subscribed client.
|
||||
|
||||
## Out of scope
|
||||
|
||||
- No automated user/token seeding (explicitly deferred to manual provisioning).
|
||||
- No sops-nix setup (repo has dangling `config.sops.secrets` references, but
|
||||
wiring up sops is a separate change and not required here).
|
||||
- No reverse-proxy / TLS termination (`behind-proxy` left default; LAN-only via
|
||||
firewall).
