 ## Overview
 
-* [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/binwiederhier/ntfy)
-* [Project](https://ntfy.sh/)
-* [Docker Compose Example](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/blob/main/docker-compose.yml)
+Ntfy (pronounced "notify") is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. With ntfy, you can send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, without having to sign up or pay any fees.
 
-Proxy Port: 80
+## Project Details
 
-## Healthcheck
+-   **Project Repository:** https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy
+-   **Container Image:** [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/binwiederhier/ntfy)
+-   **Compose Example:** [Ntfy Docker Compose](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/blob/main/docker-compose.yml)
+-   **Documentation:** [Ntfy Docs](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy#user-content-ntfy)
+-   **Reverse Proxy Port:** `80`
 
-You can add a healthcheck to docker compose like so:
+## Getting Started
 
-```yaml
-healthcheck: # optional: remember to adapt the host:port to your environment
-      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "wget -q --tries=1 https://yourdomain.com/v1/health -O - | grep -Eo '\"healthy\"\\s*:\\s*true' || exit 1"]
-      interval: 60s
-      timeout: 10s
-      retries: 3
-      start_period: 40s
+1. Start the container: `docker compose up -d`
+2. Access ntfy: `http://localhost:80` or `http://localhost:8080`
+3. Configure your notification topics via the web interface
+
+## Environment Variable Notes
+

+-   `NTFY_HTTP_PORT` – Internal HTTP port (default: `8080`)
+-   `NTFY_RESTART` – Restart policy (default: `unless-stopped`)
+-   `TZ` – Timezone for container (default: `UTC`)
+-   `NTFY_BASE_URL` – Base URL for ntfy instance (default: `http://localhost`)
+-   `NTFY_CACHE_FILE` – SQLite cache file path (default: `/var/lib/ntfy/cache.db`)
+-   `NTFY_AUTH_FILE` – SQLite auth file path (default: `/var/lib/ntfy/auth.db`)
+-   `NTFY_AUTH_DEFAULT_ACCESS` – Auth policy (default: `deny-all`)
+-   `NTFY_BEHIND_PROXY` – Run behind reverse proxy (default: `true`)
+-   `NTFY_ATTACHMENT_CACHE_DIR` – Attachment cache directory (default: `/var/lib/ntfy/attachments`)
+-   `NTFY_ENABLE_LOGIN` – Enable user login (default: `true`)
+
+## Volume Notes
+
+-   `/data` – Persistent storage for ntfy configuration, authentication, and cache files
+
+## Network Notes
+
+Requires proxy network
+
+## Docker Run
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name ntfy \
+  -e NTFY_IMAGE=binwiederhier/ntfy \
+  -e NTFY_PORT=80 \
+  -e NTFY_HTTP_PORT=8080 \
+  -e NTFY_RESTART=unless-stopped \
+  -e TZ=UTC \
+  -e NTFY_BASE_URL=http://localhost \
+  -e NTFY_CACHE_FILE=/var/lib/ntfy/cache.db \
+  -e NTFY_AUTH_FILE=/var/lib/ntfy/auth.db \
+  -e NTFY_AUTH_DEFAULT_ACCESS=deny-all \
+  -e NTFY_BEHIND_PROXY=true \
+  -e NTFY_ATTACHMENT_CACHE_DIR=/var/lib/ntfy/attachments \
+  -e NTFY_ENABLE_LOGIN=true \
+  -v /data/ntfy:/etc/ntfy \
+  -v /data/ntfy-var:/var/lib/ntfy \
+  -v /data/ntfy-cache:/var/cache/ntfy \
+  -p 80:80 \
+  -p 8080:8080 \
+  binwiederhier/ntfy
 ```
+
+## Additional Notes / Gotchas
+
+-   Requires SQLite database for cache and authentication
+-   Authentication is enabled by default; you need to create users via the web interface
+-   Static attachments are cached in `/var/lib/ntfy/attachments`
+-   The service supports both HTTP and WebSocket connections
+-   Configure TLS/SSL with a reverse proxy like Nginx for production use
+-   Use the REST API to send notifications: `curl -X PUT http://localhost:80/TOPIC_NAME -d 'Notification message'`
