Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/611

I can receive alert channel message on other client like web app and android app.

ntfy sub --trace -d alert 'echo "$m"'
But if is the cli subscribe before, both arch linux and mac osx cli client tested would not work.

My config File

Also you still need NTFY_USER to connect correctly 🆘 .

Also: use ntfy.sh works just fine:

Both server and client use version as ntfy 1.30.1 (4e7e6e5) ;

Hi !

I have a similar problem with the ntfy client on Arch linux. Except that I don't even see incoming message when not using the --poll flag. I am self-hosting the server btw (and for the records, Android app is behaving correctly: it displays the notifications)

╰─$ /usr/bin/ntfy subscribe --config /home/my_user/.config/ntfy/client.yml --from-config -d

And with --poll

╰─$ /usr/bin/ntfy subscribe --config /home/my_user/.config/ntfy/client.yml --from-config -d --poll

Let me know if these inputs help finding an eventual bug or if I'm missing something somewhere...

Cheers,

Update

Just figured out that when I stop the ntfy server, the last emitted notification is triggered on my linux client. There may be something up with the connection.
