Dear Maintainer,

the ntfy web page https://docs.ntfy.sh/subscribe/cli/#using-the-systemd-service
mentions a way to run a systemd user service. Unfortunately a
service file is missing. I added
/usr/lib/systemd/user/ntfy-client.service

[Unit]
Description=ntfy client
After=network.target
Documentation=man:ntfy(1)

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ntfy subscribe --config "%h/.config/ntfy/client.yml" --from-config
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

which works perfectly.

Wouldn't this be a usefull addition to the debian package?

  Uwe
