When using the self-hosted docker image, the settings.yaml does not seem to get loaded. Here's a simple example,

docker run based on simplified docker example from https://ntfy.sh/docs/install/#docker

$ cat run_ntfy_ex2.sh
docker run \
  -v /home/dude/d_ntfy/ex/etc/ntfy:/etc/ntfy \
  -p 80:80 \
  -it \
  binwiederhier/ntfy:v1.25.2 \
  serve

simple settings.yaml

$ cat /home/dude/d_ntfy/ex/etc/ntfy/server.yaml 
# Log level, can be TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN or ERROR
# This option can be hot-reloaded by calling "kill -HUP $pid" or "systemctl reload ntfy".
#
# Be aware that DEBUG (and particularly TRACE) can be VERY CHATTY. Only turn them on for
# debugging purposes, or your disk will fill up quickly.
#
log-level: DEBUG

output:

# sh run_ntfy_ex2.sh 
2022/06/11 20:57:29 INFO Listening on :80[http], log level is INFO

Note the log level

Maybe this is a permissions requirement that I do not understand.

Thank you
