pgimport

Migrates ntfy data from SQLite to PostgreSQL.

Build

go build -o pgimport ./tools/pgimport/

Usage

# Using CLI flags
pgimport \
  --database-url "postgres://user:pass@host:5432/ntfy?sslmode=require" \
  --cache-file /var/cache/ntfy/cache.db \
  --auth-file /var/lib/ntfy/user.db \
  --web-push-file /var/lib/ntfy/webpush.db

# Using server.yml (flags override config values)
pgimport --config /etc/ntfy/server.yml

Prerequisites

• PostgreSQL schema must already be set up (run ntfy with database-url once)
• ntfy must not be running during the import
• All three SQLite files are optional; only the ones specified will be imported

Notes

• The tool is idempotent and safe to re-run
• After importing, row counts and content are verified against the SQLite sources
• Invalid UTF-8 in messages is replaced with the Unicode replacement character
