Warning

Filesystem support for POSIX file locks is required to avoid SQLite database corruption. Be aware of possible file locking problems such as those commonly encountered with NFS. Please map the /app/data-folder to a local directory or volume.

Browse to http://localhost:3001 after started.

(Optional) One more step for Reverse Proxy

This is optional for someone who want to use a reverse proxy.

Unlikely other web apps, Uptime Kuma is based on WebSocket. You need two more headers "Upgrade" and "Connection" in order to reverse proxy WebSocket.

Please read wiki for more info: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/wiki/Reverse-Proxy
