Quickstart

Welcome to CheckCle! Get started with CheckCle in minutes.

This quick installation lets you spin up the entire platform using Docker Compose, so you can start monitoring in just a few minutes. It sets up the CheckCle dashboard, backend services, and core agent with minimal effort, no complex configuration required.

🚀 CheckCle has been successfully tested in real monitoring scenarios, handling 70+ uptime checks, 15 servers, and over 60 SSL certificates — all while using minimal CPU and memory. It's optimized to perform well even on low-resource environments.

🖥️ System Requirements

To run CheckCle smoothly, make sure your system meets the following specifications:

🔧Minimum Requirements:	✅ Recommended for Production:
CPU: 1 vCPU RAM: 500MB Disk: 2 GB free storage OS: Docker on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Alpine/CentOS), macOS, or Windows Docker: v20.10+ Docker Compose: v2.0+	CPU: 2+ vCPUs RAM: 2–4 GB Disk: SSD with 10 GB+ free Public IP (for agent connectivity & external access) Private IP (if all your application and server running in the same network) TLS/SSL Certificate for secure access (e.g., via NGINX + Let’s Encrypt)

🚀 Deployment

Deploy CheckCle as a Docker container

You can install CheckCle using one of the following methods:

Best for production environments or if you want to manage multiple containers easily. Simply create a docker-compose.yml file and run docker-compose up -d to start CheckCle with persistent storage and customizable settings.

Docker-Compose

# Create docker-compose.yml

version: '3.9'

services:
  checkcle:
    image: operacle/checkcle:latest
    container_name: checkcle
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8090:8090"  # Web Application
    volumes:
      - /opt/pb_data:/mnt/pb_data  # Host directory mapped to container path
    ulimits:
      nofile:
        soft: 4096
        hard: 8192

🔒 Important: Change Default Username and Password

For security reasons, please change the default credentials immediately after your first login to prevent unauthorized access.

Tips for a strong password:

• Use at least 8-12 characters.

• Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.

• Avoid common words or easily guessable info.

Uninstall CheckCle container and image

1

Step 1: Stop and Remove the CheckCle Container

docker stop checkcle docker rm checkcle

2

Step 2: Remove the CheckCle Image

docker rmi operacle/checkcle:latest

If you used a different tag or version, adjust latest accordingly.

3

Optional: Remove Associated Volumes (if used)

if you mounted local folders (like /mnt/pb_data), you can remove them manually:

rm -rf /mnt/pb_data

✅ Recommended Tips for Deploying CheckCle

1. Use a Reverse Proxy (Nginx / Caddy / Traefik)

• Route traffic cleanly to the CheckCle app.

• Enable better control over SSL, caching, and rate limiting.

• Example: Forward traffic from yourdomain.com to localhost:8090

2. Run Over HTTPS

• Always use SSL/TLS to secure your dashboard and API.

• Use Let's Encrypt for free certificates.

• Tools like Caddy or Certbot + Nginx make this easy.

3. Enable Basic Auth or IP Whitelisting (Optional)

• Add extra protection in front of the app while setting it up.

4. Use Docker Volumes or Bind Mounts

• Persist CheckCle data across container restarts.

• Example: -v ./pb_data:/app/pb_data

5. Secure API Endpoints (if exposed)

• Avoid exposing internal APIs to the internet unless protected.

• Use firewall rules or reverse proxy access controls.

6. Monitor and Restart Automatically

• Use restart: unless-stopped in Docker or a health check in Kubernetes.

• Ensures CheckCle stays up in case of failure.
