+## Build & Configuration
+
+### Prerequisites
+This service requires the `docker` and `caddy` software to be installed on the `znas` node.
+
+### Volume Setup
+```bash
+mkdir -p /DockerVol/gatus/config
+mkdir -p /DockerVol/gatus/data
+chown -R gatus:gatus /DockerVol/gatus/
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# generate: openssl rand -hex 32
+PUID=1964
+PGID=1964
+TZ=America/Chicago
+GATUS_CONFIG_PATH=/config/config.yaml
+```
+
+### Deploy
+```bash
+cd services/swarm/stack/gatus
+set -a && source .env && set +a
+docker stack config --compose-file gatus-stack.yml > resolved.yml
+docker stack deploy --compose-file resolved.yml gatus
+rm resolved.yml
+docker stack services gatus
+```
