Step 9Open Statusnook in the browser
Open the application URL in a browser. The Statusnook setup wizard or status page confirms the uptime monitor is reachable.
After Statusnook Opens
- Complete the first-run wizard and create the administrator account.
- Add a harmless HTTP service first to confirm monitoring behavior.
- Configure incidents, public status-page branding, and notification providers after the first login.
- Configure notification providers only after HTTPS is in place.
- Back up the Statusnook data volume because it stores the SQLite database, settings, and notifier tokens.
- Keep the Statusnook image updated for dependency and security fixes.
Verified Result
The Statusnook web interface loaded successfully from the deployed container.
