Quick start

  1. Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
  2. Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 3001 (web UI) — to your IP until setup is complete — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
  3. Open http://<VM-IP>:3001/ and create the admin account in the wizard (see First login below).
  4. Add your first monitors and a notification channel; publish a status page if you want one.

First login

  1. Open http://<VM-IP>:3001/ immediately after deployment and complete the setup wizard — the FIRST visitor creates the admin account, so keep the NSG scoped to your IP until you have.
  2. Enable two-factor auth (Settings → Security) and put TLS in front before real use.
  3. The optional "real browser" monitor type needs Chromium (not bundled): sudo apt-get install chromium-browser, then set the executable path in Settings.
