Healthchecks.io -- Cron job monitoring

@Kubernetes thank you for the effort, can you upload it to the Cloudron Gitlab anyway with those notes?
We don't need the SMTP integration yet as the webhooks are sufficient to get it working.
the postgress addon should suffice, no?
what aspect of python django apps is a struggle?
-
@robi Unfortunately there is nothing to upload to Gitlab as I just tinkered with the Docker Compose file of the project. It starts up and run, but I get the Bad Gateway error.
I think the postgress addon should be usable.
I still lack on understanding how django applications work from architectural point of view. It seems there is always a manage.py file, but I miss too much at the moment to use it.

Had been pretty busy with work, but I looked a bit at the software today.
Here's a small list of notes;We don't need the SMTP integration yet as the webhooks are sufficient to get it working.
SMTP could be used for logging in, as there is the possibility of sending a "magic email link" for the login process.
postgres addon is indeed needed as the application database.
Everything related to configuration is managed through environment variables.
I've noticed that an initial superuser needs to be created. Not sure if it can be created directly through the app's UI, but otherwise a script in the code is provided for this specific purpose.
As for the actual startup process, I'm not sure how we can do it. It seems like
uwsgi
is used to start the server part of the application and run migrations, etc. -
I've started a package, not sure I'll be able to go further than that though. Anyway, so far I've managed to get the UI up and running, but there is an error with the database connection.

@Lanhild Thank your very much for your efforts! Great work what you have done. I see that you replaced the critical paths directly in the source. Not sure if that might become a problem in future releases. Probably it would be easier to use symlinks instead of replacing the paths in the source.
When you chmod +x start.sh before packaging the execution bit should be make it into the docker image. If you do
RUN chmod +x start.sh
in your Dockerfile right after you COPY it, it should work, too.

Just wanted to give a bump for visibility and thank the contributors for getting things going for Healthchecks!
Unfortunately, am not able to contribute in the code wise

Same here, having healthchecks as an app would be awesome! I've got a few instances I am looking to migrate plus, this would make it super easy to spin up dedicated customer instances as needed
Thanks for all the great work!

@neoplex Just as a heads up, I believe Uptime Kuma does a lot of the same stuff. If you're looking for something they currently have on Cloudron right now (there is not an import tool though...)
-
@michaelpope Uptime Kuma caters to a completely different use case, although, there is some overlap e.g. webhook reporting and notification. I am running several instances of both, Uptime Kuma and healthchecks in production
