Containerized status monitoring server using Statping, container running on Podman

Build Image from Containerfile

podman build -t statping-jenkins .

choose Docker image to pull from

Run container

first, create directory for the hosted instance /root/statping/, then you should be able to run it:

mkdir /root/statping
podman run --rm -ti -p 8080:8080 -v /root/statping/:/app:z --name statping-jenkins statping/statping

if the container doesn't want to run, try changing access rights via chmod. After first run you don't need to make a new directory every time, so just use the 'podman run' command.

Stop container

podman rm -f statping-jenkins

Concept

Host files are contained in /root/statping/, which translates to /app in container.

FAQ

My service doesn't work, even though with curl or browser it does, says something about certificates. What to do?

In the service detail, either uncheck the "Verify SSL" option or check and fill in the Use TLS Cert option.
