I would like to ask about the correct format for the 'apprise.yml' configuration file.

❓ Question

Hello, I'm having some issues while using this project and would like to ask for some help.

I'm currently deploying this service on a VPS using docker-compose, and I want to configure multiple channels using a YAML file. I'm worried that I might forget the URL method after a while.

My current problem is that after starting the service, the docker logs show "No valid notification service configuration." I don't know how to fix this.

I've referred to the config_yaml and Notify_dingtalk documentation, but after making the changes, I still get the same error.

Also, my requirements are:

1. The ability to configure multiple DingTalk channels and distribute requests using tags.
2. It needs to work with TradingView's Webhook. I only need to set the webhook URL; I don't require specific body or JSON format. Whatever is edited in the TV alert will be sent and forwarded to DingTalk in the same format and text.

My docker-compose.yml file is as follows:

version: '3.8'

services:
  apprise:
    image: caronc/apprise:latest
    container_name: apprise
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "9001:8000"
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config 
      - ./data:/data
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Asia/Shanghai
    networks:
      - apprise-net

networks:
  apprise-net:
    driver: bridge

My apprise.yml file is as follows:

urls:
  - url: "dingtalk://Secret1@Token1"
    tag: "rn2-dingtalk"
    format: text
  - url: "dingtalk://Secret2@Token2"
    tag: "TVAlert"
    format: text

The Docker logs are as follows:

I believe the problem may be related to this.

By change chance, are you using apprise:// or apprises:// to trigger your configuration (which looks fine btw) in your Apprise-API hosted solution?

Just noticing your formatting of your configuration file:

It should be:

urls:
  - "dingtalk://Secret1@Token1":
    - tag: "rn2-dingtalk"
      format: text
  - "dingtalk://Secret2@Token2":
      tag: "TVAlert"
      format: text
