# gatus
## Overview
Gatus is a monitoring service for NetGrimoire, providing real-time insights into the performance and availability of the platform's services.
---
## Architecture
| Service | Image | Port | Role |

- **Host:** docker4
- **Network:** netgrimoire
- **Exposed via:** status.netgrimoire.com, gatus:8080
- **Homepage group:** NetGrimoire

## 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
```
### First Run
After the initial deployment, ensure that the `caddy` reverse proxy is configured correctly to forward requests to the `gatus` service.
