OK, I may have found the answer :D
So in the unRAID docker config it has the setting NTFY_AUTH_DEFAULT_ACCESS set to "deny_all" as default, I changed this to "read-write" and it now allows me to subscribe to the topic :D.
So now I am off to try and setup some users!
Sorry I should have been more specific, so I am using the Android App and here are the following steps I am taking:
- Open App
- Add Subscribed Topic
- Enter Topic Name (test), select "Use another server", enter url of my ntfy server, click subscribe
- Login Required screen pops up - "This topic requires you to login. Please type in a username and password"
I have also tried from the servers webapp and if I try to subscribe to a topic it instantly asks for login details.

ntfy and unraid
Hi All,
I am a little bit new to ntfy (just having a play with it at the moment). I have managed to get my ntfy server up and running on a unraid docker server (using the ntfy app from the unraid appstore), but it when I try and connect the app to the server it is asking for username and password. I havent set up any authentication at the moment, as I am unable to run the ntfy cli from within the docker environment yet.
Any guidance would be great if anyone has a similar setup.
