🐞 Describe the bug

After i set env for my container as it said: https://ntfy.sh/docs/config/#access-control, i can't run the ntfy container any more. here's how i set the container's env

TZ=Asia/Shanghai
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
NTFY_KEY_FILE=/etc/ntfy/privkey.key
NTFY_CERT_FILE=/etc/ntfy/fullchain.pem
NTFY_LISTEN_HTTPS=:443
NTFY_AUTH_FILE=/var/lib/ntfy/user.db
NTFY_AUTH_DEFAULT_ACCESS=read-write

but the .dbfile has not created automatically as we expected.
Any help or instructions will be helpful!

💻 Components impacted

self hosting, installed from 1panel's APP store

I'm guessing you didn't mount a volume, so /var/lib/ntfy doesn't exist in the container.

See the example docker compose files here: https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#__tabbed_2_1

you're right, let me try to reinstall the container, thanks a lot

If you're using 1panel to install the ntfy and you wnat to use ACL function, here's how i make it work, hope it can hope anyone is rookie as me. But if you have better idea, please let me know.

first step : install the app

Install the ntfy app from the app store

next : delete the container

App store should build a container automatically, delete it now

then : build a container from official doc's yaml config

Open this link : https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#__tabbed_2_1, and copy the config
Creat a new floder, i named it ntfy-official
Cd ntfy-official and creat new file named docker-compose.yaml, and edit the file and pause the config, save the file
Go to command line window
Input this: docker-compose up -d and press Enter on your keyboard

after that : copy `/var/lib/ntfy` files to local path

Cd to the 1Panel app's data path
Make dir : /lib/ntfy
Go to command line window
Run command docker ps
Copy the official container's name
For my situation, i should run this command: cp ntfy-official-ntfy-1:/var/lib/ntfy /home/onepanel/1panel/apps/ntfy/ntfy/data/lib/ntfy

fianl step : edit APP's yml file and rebuild the APP's container

Cd to the 1Panel app's data path
Edit docker-compose.yml file
Go to command line window
Input this: docker-compose up -d and press Enter on your keyboard

如果你也使用1panel面板里的应用商店来安装ntfy，并且你需要用到ACL功能，这是我的经验分享，希望对同是菜鸟的你有帮助。如果你有更好的办法，麻烦也让我学习学习

首先，安装1panel里的APP

然后，删掉容器

应用商店的应用装好后会默认创建一个容器，删掉它

接着，用官方的配置创建一个容器

访问这个链接 : https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#__tabbed_2_1, and copy the config
在任意位置新建文件夹, 我这里是叫 ntfy-official
进去这个文件夹 ntfy-official ，然后新建一个文件名为 docker-compose.yaml, 然后编辑这个文件，把官方文档里的粘贴进去，然后保存
进去命令行
输入这个docker-compose up -d 然后回车

然后，把官方的容器里对应的、缺少的文件拷出来

进到1panel应用的根目录
创建这目录 : /lib/ntfy
进去命令行
运行这个命令： docker ps
复制用官方配置跑起来的容器名字
接着要把文件复制出来，对于我的情况是这样: cp ntfy-official-ntfy-1:/var/lib/ntfy /home/onepanel/1panel/apps/ntfy/ntfy/data/lib/ntfy

最后，编辑1panel的APP yml配置，然后重建容器

进到1panel应用的根目录
编辑 docker-compose.yml 文件
进去命令行
输入: docker-compose up -d 然后回车

@katfionn I'm facing the same issue and have been struggling to find a solution. Your response inspired me to look more closely at the differences between the two. The 1panel store version's Docker Compose has an additional permission restriction: user: ${PUID}:${PGID}. In the .env file, PGID=1000 PUID=1000, which restricts ntfy to a regular user. However, the default mounted path in 1panel is /opt/1panel/apps/ which has root permissions, so it cannot create a database, leading to an error.

@katfionn 遇到一样的问题，苦寻无果。看到你的回答受到了启发，详细看了一下两个之间的区别，1panel商店版本的docker compose多了一个权限限制，user: ${PUID}:${PGID}，.env文件内PGID=1000 PUID=1000，限制了ntfy为普通用户。但是1panel默认挂在的/opt/1panel/apps/路径下是root权限，所以不能创建数据库导致报错

This is my personal opinion, and I'm just a beginner user. If you have other perspectives, feel free to point them out
