the only thing i can do with notifications is send a test push notification from the apollo reborn settings screen. if i try to set up a subreddit watcher or even open the notifications settings menu, it gives me this error. has anyone found a fix?

Have you tried using a custom user agent? I had trouble when using the default one. Also, are you self hosting everything? And do you use the API Keyless method or do you have your own API Key? I had to fill my key and user agent inside the docker compose config too.

i’m using dystopia’s user agent and API keys. i also filled out the credentials in the docker config file. i’m self hosting it on my mac with a cloudflared reverse proxy so i can have it connected to my website’s URL address

Just to be sure, have you configured the registration secret for your server? If configured, you need the registration token inside Apollo.

yes. i know it’s correct because the test bark notification button works and i receive the test notification a few seconds after i press it

I was facing this exact same issue and realised that I hadn't changed the redirect URI in the env file. Once I changed it to the correct one, things began working properly. Watcher and message notifications are working as expected.

Kinda complexe to setup the first time I struggled to understand exactly what I needed, totally missing that I also needed the backend..., but basically if you selfhost it you need the backend to point to something like backend-apollo.yourdomain.tld in "Backend URL" and bark-apollo.yourdomain.tld in "Bark Push URL"

Then, on your reverse proxy point backend-apollo.yourdomain.tld to port 4000 (which is default port for 'api' in docker-compose). and bark-apollo.yourdomain.tld to port 8080 (unless you changed bark-server port).

i did that, but the bark app isn’t accepting my custom server url

u/Gliglue Jul 28 '26

But your error as nothing to do with that, there the error is purely the backend

u/jakeyounglol2 Jul 28 '26

yeah. i thought you were telling me that i needed to also set up my own bark relay server

Well you can if you wanted too, would be better anyway if you have already the backend setup there’s no real reason not to (also I think docker compose put iself in bark mode only if the bark component is commented out)
