Doesn't work with Forkgram/Mercurygram gateways #52

Daigual commented 2025年06月26日 15:20:55 +02:00

I have configured Mercurygram and Forkgram to use notifications via Sunup in Android 13, but the notifications never arrive. Using Ntfy is no problem and nots. work like a charm.
The server I use in Sunup is the default one, https://push.services.mozilla.com, because I don't know of any others. Maybe other server could work? You know of any?

TY.

Unfortunately, Telegram uses a draft of web push that has been published in Oct 2016 and deprecated in Nov 2016, which isn't compatible with UnifiedPush. Telegram also support simple push which isn't compatible too;

So Forkgram and Mercurygram are using a push gateway to translate simple push to web push (likely this one: https://github.com/Mercurygram/Mercurygram/tree/Mercurygram/Gateways) ; But their gateway doesn't add encryption (which is required, but not really necessary for a simple ping like it does). They can fake encryption by adding the header Content-Encoding: aes128gcm to the push requests; cf. UnifiedPush/wishlist#22

So, a single line should fix the issue on their gateway :)

Thank you for your detailed explanation, for which complete understanding unfortunately I lack the sufficient computer training (I only opened this Codeberg account to report the problem, I don't work or have any connection with development or computer science in general).
I suppose the final conclusion is: "you better use Ntfy" since Sunup will not work until the developers of Forkgram et al. fix that gateway thing.

Thank you for at least clarifying the situation, anyways.

Just open an issue on mercurygram, they will fix their gateway; As I said it is a one line fix

Mercurygram seems abandoned. I installed it just for testing. I'll try on Forkgram. Thx.

I've open a PR on their repo: https://github.com/Mercurygram/Mercurygram/pull/64

If Forkgram use the gateway, you can link to the pr

It has been merged, I think it should be deployed soon

The gateway has been updated, and is the same on forkgram; I'm closing this issue 👍

I thought Mercurigram had become abandonware because there hadn't been any updates in almost a year.
In any case, I no longer have it installed, but Forkgram only, and indeed the notifications now work with Sunup, which is lighter than Ntfy and perfectly meets my needs.

Thank you for fixing the problem so quickly. :D
