MeshCentral Does Not Send Notifications to NTFY with Basic Authorization

[Creogenesis]

MeshCentral and NTFY are deployed on a VPS as separate Docker Swarm stack containers. Individually, these services operate without errors and have been time-tested.

Here is the configuration for NTFY within MeshCentral (found on a YouTube tutorial by the author and in the documentation):

"messaging": {
  "ntfy": true,
  "ntfy": {
     "host": "https://myserverntfy.com",
     "authorization": "Basic ----------------"
  }
},
"_smtp": {

This block is inserted after the domains section. The Basic token was obtained using the command echo -n 'username:passw@rd' | base64
Additionally, for testing purposes, a notification was successfully sent from the MeshCentral container (docker exec -it namecontainer sh) using the command:

wget --post-data="title=Test&message=This is a test message from MeshCentral container" \
     --header="Authorization: Basic ------------------------" \
     https://myserverntfy.com/topicformeshcentral

This method of sending works!
Sending from the standard VPS console also works in two ways - via token and Basic auth.

I'm seeking assistance. It could be an error in my configuration, or it might be a bug. I would like to resolve this issue, as I've been struggling with it all day :)

Also, I could not find a clear explanation of what the userurl option means in the ntfy section.

your config.json is incorrect, the should only be 1 ntfy option

so it should be

"messaging": {
  "ntfy": {
     "host": "https://myserverntfy.com",
     "authorization": "Basic ----------------"
  }
},
"_smtp": {

you only set "ntfy": true if you want to use the normal public ntfy server not your own!

edit: also the youtube video was made BEFORE i added the authorization section the other month!
also let me know which docs u followed and ill check if i may have made a BOOBOO with explaining it

EDIT2: also the host should be JUST THE DOMAIN NAME and NOT INCLUDE https://
const url = 'https://' + (((typeof parent.config.messaging.ntfy == 'object') && (typeof parent.config.messaging.ntfy.host == 'string')) ? parent.config.messaging.ntfy.host : 'ntfy.sh') + '/' + encodeURIComponent(to.substring(5));

EDIT3: descriptions are inside the schema file or the config.md file - https://ylianst.github.io/MeshCentral/meshcentral/config/

I just restarted the stack after editing the config.json file according to your recommendation. It worked :)

You provide the best support I've encountered on GitHub. Your suggestion to specify the domain without https:// did the trick. Previously, my configuration did not have "ntfy": true, and that led nowhere.

I think it would be beneficial for others in the future to clearly state how the domain should be specified in the configuration. This way, others won't have to go through the same troubles I did.

i mean the schema does say 'host name of the ntfy server' but the new docs do say use https:// which is wrong!
