After CheckCle Opens
- Place CheckCle behind HTTPS before exposing monitor and incident data publicly.
- Create the first admin account intentionally and restrict registration after setup.
- Rotate any notification provider tokens if the data volume is ever exposed.
- Disable open user registration after trusted accounts are created.
- Back up the CheckCle data volume because it stores monitor configuration, credentials, and incident history.
- Keep the CheckCle image updated for dependency and security fixes.
Verified Result
The CheckCle web interface loaded successfully from the deployed container.
