## Failed to enable web push notifications

### Option 1: You are using Pi-hole

When using Pi-hole, you need to whitelist the proper domains in order for the queries to not be intercepted and blocked by Pi-hole.
If you are using a chromium based browser (eg: Chrome, Brave, Edge...), the domain you need to whitelist is `fcm.googleapis.com`
If you are using Firefox, the domain you need to whitelist is `push.services.mozilla.com`

1. Log into your Pi-hole through the admin interface, then click on Domains situated under GROUP MANAGEMENT.
2. Add the domain corresponding to your browser in the `Domain to be added` field and then click on Add to allowed domains.
3. Now in order for those changes to be used you need to flush your current dns cache.
4. You can do so by using this command line in your Pi-hole terminal:
```bash
pihole restartdns
```
If this command fails (which is unlikely), use this equivalent:
```bash
pihole -f && pihole restartdns
```
5. Then restart your Seerr instance and try to enable the web push notifications again.


### Option 2: You are using Brave browser

Brave is a "De-Googled" browser. So by default or if you refused a prompt in the past, it cuts the access to the FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) service, which is mandatory for the web push notifications on Chromium based browsers.

1. Open Brave and paste this address in the url bar: `brave://settings/privacy`
2. Look for the option: "Use Google services for push messaging"
3. Activate this option
4. Relaunch Brave completely
5. You should now see the notifications prompt appearing instead of an error message.
