Hi,

I have a number of attachments that I am unable to open. Attempting to do so gives me 404.

{"code":40401,"http":404,"error":"page not found"}

The attachments are all set to expire after 30 days. I have mounted /srv/docker/ntfy/cache:/var/cache/ntfy, but in it exists only what I think is the most recent message attachments that I have received.

$ sudo ls -lA /srv/docker/ntfy/cache/attachments/
total 4
-rw------- 1 root root 4096 Apr  6 09:45 hn43ZleddXjW

ntfy server 2.17.

There was a significant revamp of attachments in the latest releases. Please update to the newest ntfy and test again. Thanks.

Oh but also, the cache duration must be longer or equal to the attachment duration. Attachments cannot outlive messages.

Oh, I see. I will update the cache duration to match attachment expiry, then. Thanks.
