Push notifications

If you want to use the app with your own server and want web push notification to work you have to set them up:

• Register at https://firebase.google.com/, set up the project if you have not done so already.
• Follow instructions to create a web application https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/9326094 in your project.
• Follow instructions at https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/7015592 to get a Firebase configuration object ("Firebase SDK snippet").
• Locate firebase-init.js in the root folder of your copy of TinodeWeb app. Copy-paste the following keys from the configuration object to firebase-init.js: apiKey, messagingSenderId, projectId, appId (you may copy all keys).
• Copy Web Push certificate (Project Settings -> Cloud Messaging -> Web configuration -> Web Push certificates) to messagingVapidKey field in firebase-init.js.
• Double check that firebase-init.js contains the following keys: apiKey, messagingSenderId, projectId, appId, messagingVapidKey. The file may contain other optional keys.
• Copy Google-provided server key to tinode.conf, see details here.
