I just documented the ?auth=.. query parameter, so it's not in the official docs yet, but you can find it here: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/blob/main/docs/publish.md#query-param

Hi,

I tried configuring notifications in my Watchtower docker container like this, but I keep getting this authentication error:

time="2024-01-22T16:44:50+01:00" level=fatal msg="Failed to initialize Shoutrrr notifications: error initializing router services: auth is not a valid config key [actions at attach cache click delay email filename firebase icon in priority scheme tags title]\n"

I added 2 env parameters:

- WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS=shoutrrr
- WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL=ntfy://my_ntfy_instance/updates?auth=my_base64_key

I've obtained my_base64_key with

echo -n "Basic `echo -n 'testuser:fakepassword' | base64`" | base64 | tr -d '='

and if I use curl with the same string, everything is fine.

Did I do something wrong?
