Hello,

Straight to the point: are there any plans to port ntfy.sh to FreeBSD?

It would be great to have this tool available there. I will try to build and run it from the sources to see what happens.

Best regards,
Ross

So,

here's what I did:

I started by reading this:

https://docs.ntfy.sh/develop/

Then I cloned the sources into the following repository:

https://github.com/rmszc81/ntfy/tree/freebsd14

I made changes in the following files:

Makefile, .goreleaser.yml

To be able to build in FreeBSD 14.

I installed the following packages in the OS:

pkg install git go goreleaser node20 npm-node20 py311-mkdocs py311-pip py311-pylint-venv

Then I ran:

make cli-freebsd-amd64, apparently it builds the application correctly, and the binary is generated at ntfy_freebsd_amd64_freebsd_amd64_v1

When I run ./dist/ntfy_freebsd_amd64_freebsd_amd64_v1/ntfy, I get the following output:

root@ntfy:/app/ntfy # ./dist/ntfy_freebsd_amd64_freebsd_amd64_v1/ntfy
NAME:
   ntfy - Simple pub-sub notification service

USAGE:
   ntfy [OPTION..]

COMMANDS:
   help, h  Shows a list of commands or help for one command
   Client commands:

ntfy v2.11.0-next (f0dc666), runtime go1.21.10, built at 2024-06-12T02:42:16Z

So it seems that the binary is working as intended.

make install-freebsd-amd64 shows the following error:

rm -f /usr/local/bin/ntfy
cp -a dist/ntfy_freebsd_amd64_freebsd_amd64/ntfy /usr/local/bin/ntfy
cp: dist/ntfy_freebsd_amd64_freebsd_amd64/ntfy: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /app/ntfy

I know the error above is related to the target path being different. I just don't know why in FreeBSD _v1 is being concatenated to the end of the path when the binary is generated.

make web executes correctly and the UI works fine.

make docs stops at this point:

I didn't have enough time to go deeper into this but still, I'd like to have some insights from you guys on how I could solve it.

Best!

Hi,
Thank you for doing most of the work

pkg install git go goreleaser node20 npm-node20 py311-mkdocs py311-pip py311-pylint-venv

No need to install py311-mkdocs as it will be installed by pip in the venv

make install-freebsd-amd64 shows the following error:
rm -f /usr/local/bin/ntfy
cp -a dist/ntfy_freebsd_amd64_freebsd_amd64/ntfy /usr/local/bin/ntfy
cp: dist/ntfy_freebsd_amd64_freebsd_amd64/ntfy: No such file or directory

make: stopped in /app/ntfy
I know the error above is related to the target path being different. I just don't know why in FreeBSD _v1 is being concatenated to the end of the path when the binary is generated.

Look at install-linux-amd64 _v1 is also append to the directory name so I guess that it is an expected behavior when building for amd64.

root@ntfy:/app/ntfy # make docs-build
python3.11 -m venv ./venv
(. venv/bin/activate && python3.11 -m mkdocs build)
/app/ntfy/venv/bin/python3.11: No module named mkdocs
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /app/ntfy

You set pip-3.11 as the pip command but it is only available at /usr/local/bin/pip-3.11 and not in the venv. So when running docs-dep it installed the requirements on the system, not in the venv.
pip commands available in the venv are pip, pip3 and pip3.11

This is on FreeBSD 14.1, by the way.

ntfy works flawlessly in FreeBSD with gihub clone.

Once compiled you can start the server with the standard command and config file without any issues.

Messages coming through in android all good.

I use Caddy and the only thing I couldn't get it work is the web app. Only a blank page.

Will try again as time permits.

Hey @escix. Did you just run make build? I'm not seeing anything related to FreeBSD in the Makefile to run a make against, so curious the steps you took to get it built, as well as what packages might have been needed as well.

@escix commented on GitHub (Jan 2, 2025): ``` git clone https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy.git cd ntfy/ make cli-deps-static-sites export CGO_ENABLED=1 go build ``` ^ this is what I got in the command history. I will do a detailed installation guide time permits. I recently also did a make web-build and it compiled without any issues. ``` cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntfy #!/bin/sh # $FreeBSD$ # PROVIDE: ntfy # REQUIRE: DAEMON LOGIN # KEYWORD: shutdown #set -x . /etc/rc.subr name="ntfy" rcvar="${name}_enable" desc="ntfy push notification server" load_rc_config ${name} ntfy_enable=${ntfy_enable:="NO"} # Define default values for user and log locations : ${ntfy_user:=ntfy} : ${ntfy_group:=ntfy} : ${ntfy_home:=$(getent passwd ${ntfy_user} | awk -F: '{print $6}')} : ${ntfy_chdir:="/opt/ntfy/ntfy"} : ${ntfy_config:="/opt/ntfy/server.yml"} : ${ntfy_log:="/opt/ntfy/ntfy.log"} pidfile="/var/run/${name}/${name}.pid" procname="ntfy" command="/usr/sbin/daemon" command_args="-o ${ntfy_log} -t ${name} su -l ${ntfy_user} -c '${ntfy_chdir}/ntfy.sh'" start_precmd="start_precmd" start_postcmd="start_postcmd" stop_cmd="stop_cmd" # Ensure the PID directory exists before starting the service start_precmd() { if [ ! -e "/var/run/${name}" ]; then install -d -o ${ntfy_user} -g ${ntfy_group} /var/run/${name} fi } # After starting the service, write the PID to the PID file start_postcmd() { # Give it some time for the process to start sleep 5 pid=$(/bin/pgrep -u ${ntfy_user} ntfy) if [ -n "$pid" ]; then # Ensure $pidfile is expanded properly su -l ${ntfy_user} -c "touch $pidfile && echo $pid > $pidfile" else echo "Error: Could not find process ID for ${name}" fi } # Stop the service by killing the process using the PID stop_cmd() { if [ -f "$pidfile" ]; then pid=$(cat $pidfile) if [ -n "$pid" ]; then kill "$pid" rm -f "$pidfile" echo "${name} service stopped." else echo "Error: No PID found in $pidfile." fi else echo "Error: No PID file found for ${name}." fi } run_rc_command "$1" ``` ``` cat /opt/ntfy/ntfy/ntfy.sh cd /opt/ntfy/ntfy/ && /opt/ntfy/ntfy/ntfy serve -c /opt/ntfy/server.yml ```

Updated to include the web-app too.

git clone https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy.git

cd ntfy/

make cli-deps-static-sites

export CGO_ENABLED=1

#do these before the go build so the web-app get build into the binary. May not need all three of them I did run these anyway
make web
make web-deps
make web-build

go build

If I can build it in GitHub CI I'd be happy to make it an official thing. Though you'd have to do all the PRs

I've submit a new port and it was rejected, because it already exists

https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/go-ntfy/

IMHO is possible to close this issue.

solution is:

pkg install go-ntfy

I added the port to the install page (https://docs.ntfy.sh/install/) and emailed the maintainer if there is anything I can help him with. Closing this now
