github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy@630f2957de/cmd/webpush_test.go (L14)

I thought about automating web push key generation in a simple manner like

ntfy webpush keys >> server.yml

but then I realized that the keys are written to stderr and not stdout!

Question:

Are you open to moving the output from stderr to stdout?

I'm not sure about moving it, but in the meantime, you can do ntfy webpush keys 2>> server.yml to append stderr to server.yml.

You'll still need to edit the file and adjust the web push email and path config options, though

There are lots of things you need to configure when setting up ntfy, so configuring only the web push keys automatically doesn't make sense. Most people will not need/want web push anyway.
