playbook – Dilawar's Blog

First, we need a script that setup admin account for us after starting the service. init.sh file that you should put inside ntfy/init.sh
```
#!/bin/sh
ntfy serve &
sleep 2
NTFY_PASSWORD=${NTFY_PASSWORD} ntfy user add --role=admin ${NTFY_USER}
wait
```

Now the compose file compose.yaml or docker-compose.yaml file.

services:
  ntfy:
