## Attachments
If desired, you may allow users to upload and [attach files to notifications](publish.md#attachments). To enable
this feature, you have to simply configure an attachment cache directory and a base URL (`attachment-cache-dir`, `base-url`).
Once these options are set and the directory is writable by the server user, you can upload attachments via PUT.
this feature, you have to configure an attachment storage backend and a base URL (`base-url`). Attachments can be stored
either on the [local filesystem](#filesystem-storage) or in an [S3-compatible object store](#s3-storage), both using the `attachment-cache-dir` option.
Once configured, you can upload attachments via PUT.
By default, attachments are stored in the disk-cache **for only 3 hours**. The main reason for this is to avoid legal issues
and such when hosting user controlled content. Typically, this is more than enough time for the user (or the auto download
feature) to download the file. The following config options are relevant to attachments:
By default, attachments are stored **for only 3 hours**. The main reason for this is to avoid legal issues
and such when hosting user controlled content. Typically, this is more than enough time for the user (or the auto download
feature) to download the file. You can increase this time by [purchasing ntfy Pro](https://ntfy.sh/app) via the web app.
The following config options are relevant to attachments:
* `base-url` is the root URL for the ntfy server; this is needed for the generated attachment URLs
* `attachment-cache-dir` is the cache directory for attached files
* `attachment-total-size-limit` is the size limit of the on-disk attachment cache (default: 5G)
* `attachment-cache-dir` is the cache directory for attached files, or an S3 URL for object storage
* `attachment-total-size-limit` is the size limit of the attachment storage (default: 5G)
* `attachment-file-size-limit` is the per-file attachment size limit (e.g. 300k, 2M, 100M, default: 15M)
* `attachment-expiry-duration` is the duration after which uploaded attachments will be deleted (e.g. 3h, 20h, default: 3h)
Here's an example config using mostly the defaults (except for the cache directory, which is empty by default):
!!! warning
ntfy takes full control over the attachment directory or S3 bucket. Files that match the message ID format without
entries in the message table will be deleted. **Do not use a directory or S3 bucket that is also used for something else.**
Please also refer to the [rate limiting](#rate-limiting) settings below, specifically `visitor-attachment-total-size-limit`
and `visitor-attachment-daily-bandwidth-limit`. Setting these conservatively is necessary to avoid abuse.
### Filesystem storage
Here's an example config using the local filesystem for attachment storage:
=== "/etc/ntfy/server.yml (minimal)"
``` yaml
base-url: "https://ntfy.sh"
base-url: "https://ntfy.example.com"

and `visitor-attachment-daily-bandwidth-limit`. Setting these conservatively is necessary to avoid abuse.
### S3 storage
As an alternative to the local filesystem, you can store attachments in an S3-compatible object store (e.g. [AWS S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/),
[DigitalOcean Spaces](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/spaces)). This is useful for HA/cloud deployments where you don't want to rely on local disk storage.
To use an S3-compatible storage for attachments, set `attachment-cache-dir` to an S3 URL with the following format:
```
s3://ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY@BUCKET[/PREFIX]?region=REGION[&endpoint=ENDPOINT]
```
Here are a few examples:
=== "/etc/ntfy/server.yml (DigitalOcean Spaces)"
``` yaml
base-url: "https://ntfy.example.com"
attachment-cache-dir: "s3://ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY@my-bucket/attachments?region=nyc3&endpoint=https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com"
```
=== "/etc/ntfy/server.yml (AWS S3)"
``` yaml
base-url: "https://ntfy.example.com"
attachment-cache-dir: "s3://ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY@my-bucket/attachments?region=us-east-1"
```
=== "/etc/ntfy/server.yml (custom endpoint)"
``` yaml
base-url: "https://ntfy.example.com"
attachment-cache-dir: "s3://ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY@my-bucket/attachments?region=us-east-1&endpoint=https://s3.example.com"
```
Note that the access key and secret key may have to be URL encoded. For instance, a secret key `YmxhY+mxhYmxhC` (note the `+`) should
be encoded as `YmxhY%2BmxhYmxhC` (note the `%2B`), so the URL would be `s3://ACCESS_KEY:YmxhY%2BmxhYmxhC@my-bucket/attachments...`.
!!! info
ntfy.sh is hosted and sponsored by DigitalOcean. I can highly recommend their public cloud offering. It's been rock solid
for 4 years. They offer an S3-compatible storage for $5/month and 250 GB of storage, with 1 TiB of bandwidth.
Also, if you **use [this referral link](https://m.do.co/c/442b929528db), you can get $200 credit**.
For AWS S3, the IAM user needs the following permissions on the bucket:
``` json

"Version": "2012-10-17",

This is another small bugfix release for PostgreSQL, avoiding races between primary and read replica, as well as to
further reduce primary load.
**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
* Fix race condition in web push subscription causing FK constraint violation when concurrent requests hit the same endpoint
* Route authorization query to read-only database replica to reduce primary database load

### ntfy server v2.20.x (UNRELEASED)
This release is another step towards making it possible to help scale ntfy up and out 🔥! With this release, you can store
attachments in an S3-compatible object store as an alterative to the directory. See [attachment store](config.md#attachments)
for details.
!!! warning
With this release, ntfy will take full control over the attachment directory or S3 bucket. Files/objects in the configured `attachment-cache-dir`
that match the message ID format (12 chars, matching `^[A-Za-z0-9]{12}$`), and have no entries in the message database will be deleted.
**Do not use a directory or S3 bucket as `attachment-cache-dir` that is also used for something else.**
This is a small behavioral change that was necessary because the old logic often left attachments behind and would not clean them
up. Unless you have re-used the attachment directory for anything else (which is hopefully never done), this should not affect
you at all.
**Features:**
* Add S3-compatible object storage as an alternative [attachment store](config.md#attachments) via `attachment-cache-dir` config option
**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
* Route authorization query to read-only database replica to reduce primary database load
* Reject invalid e-mail addresses (e.g. multiple comma-separated recipients) with HTTP 400
