Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1555

I used the latest ntfy executable, ran it directly on an armhf device, and then forcibly deleted the file using the rm command while it was running. However, the page on port 80 of my device still exists, and I cannot find it using commands like netstat or ps.

Where are the files related to the web server located?

The web app files are all bundled inside the ntfy binary

It's possible your browser cached the web app files, so you're seeing the web app even though the backend isn't running anymore

It's not a cache. After I forcibly deleted the running ntfy executable using rm, the 80 port was still responding with an HTTP 200 OK. I searched everywhere and couldn't find the possible file location.> It's possible your browser cached the web app files, so you're seeing the web app even though the backend isn't running anymore

Hmm. Have you tried restarting the device? I could imagine the executable existing and continuing to run in memory, though I would expect it to show up in ps still. In any case, a restart would clear the memory

Of course, I have restarted many times and used various commands to search, but I still can't find it, and it doesn't even show the 80 port listening status.> Hmm.

Currently, the ntfy web interface only appears when accessing localhost; it does not show up when using the LAN IP or 127.0.0.1.> Hmm. Have you tried restarting the device?

What's the output of curl -v http://127.0.0.1:80? And curl -v http://localhost:80?

That sounds like a browser cache issue. If you first accessed the web app at http://localhost and not at http://127.0.0.1, then the files would be cached in one spot but not the other
