# healthchecks
|
|
|
|
healthchecks is a watchdog for your cron jobs. It's a web server that listens for pings from your cron jobs, plus a web interface.
|
|
|
|
It is live here: [http://healthchecks.io/](http://healthchecks.io/)
|
|
|
|
The building blocks are:
|
|
|
|
* Python 2 or Python 3
|
|
* Django 1.8
|
|
* PostgreSQL or MySQL
|
|
|
|
## Setting Up for Development
|
|
|
|
These are instructions for setting up HealthChecks Django app
|
|
in development environment.
|
|
|
|
* prepare directory for project code and virtualenv:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir -p ~/webapps
|
|
$ cd ~/webapps
|
|
|
|
* prepare virtual environment
|
|
(with virtualenv you get pip, we'll use it soon to install requirements):
|
|
|
|
$ virtualenv --python=python3 hc-venv
|
|
$ source hc-venv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
* check out project code:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git@github.com:healthchecks/healthchecks.git
|
|
|
|
* install requirements (Django, ...) into virtualenv:
|
|
|
|
$ pip install -r healthchecks/requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
* make sure PostgreSQL server is installed and running, create
|
|
database "hc":
|
|
|
|
$ psql --user postgres
|
|
postgres=# create database hc;
|
|
|
|
* create database tables, triggers, superuser:
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/webapps/healthchecks
|
|
$ ./manage.py migrate
|
|
$ ./manage.py ensuretriggers
|
|
$ ./manage.py createsuperuser
|
|
|
|
* run development server:
|
|
|
|
$ ./manage.py runserver
|
