Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/419

I've got everything set up and working great in docker.

If i run the below command without a reverse proxy, it all works great

curl -u user:pass -H "X-Priority: 4" -T porch.jpg -H "Filename: /root/porch.jpg" -H "Title: Someone is at the door!" -H "Actions: view, Open Camera, https://user:pass@cameraurl domain.co.uk:82/doorbell

However if i use my reverse proxy and give it a url like ntfy.domain.co.uk (i'm using NginxProxyManager)

when running the above command, i get "301 permanently moved" error in html

My server.yml is :

base-url: https://ntfy.domain.co.uk
listen-http: ":82"
auth-file: "/var/lib/ntfy/user.db"
auth-default-access: "deny-all"
behind-proxy: true
attachment-cache-dir: "/var/cache/ntfy/attachments"

so it turns out this is a curl thing.. needed the below 2 switches to sort it out

-L --location-trusted

Sounds like your proxy isn't proxying, but rather redirecting. Look at curl -v to see what's happening. Doesn't seem like a ntfy issue though. Feel free to close the ticket.

sorry to revive a closed issue but @danmed I had this issue with nginx proxy manager and it turned out to be the fact that i had force SSL on.
since its forcing SSL its trying to redirect but cant figure it out i suppose. its almost a year later but i hope this helps you! |

For everyone running into this, here is what the sample is like:

curl -d "Hi" mydomain.org/sandreas

If you are behind a proxy, this might not work. Instead you just have to fully qualify the URL including the scheme:

curl -d "Hi" https://mydomain.org/sandreas

which made it work in my case.

Maybe this could be added to the example, if NTFY_BEHIND_PROXY=true...?
