Description

To my knowledge, this is already supported via shoutrrr (see here). The only hang-up (for me, anyway) was getting it to use access tokens, which is covered in the shoutrrr repository here.

not directly related to above, but ntfy not working for me on two separate machines... from the watchtower logs:

           time="2025-04-13T14:43:57-05:00" level=info msg="Watchtower 1.7.1"
           time="2025-04-13T14:43:57-05:00" level=info msg="Using no notifications"

was able to get the notfication with token auth working directly with shoutrrr:

    docker run --rm containrrr/shoutrrr send --url "ntfy://:tk...@mydomain/topic" --message "Test notification"
           Notification sent

tried a few variations of env flags in watchtower with grok, currently:

            "WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS=shoutrrr",
            "WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_SHOUTRRR_LOG_LEVEL=debug",
            "WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_IDENTIFIER=watchtower",
            "WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_SHOUTRRR_URL=ntfy://:tk_...@mydomain/topic"
