Introduction to the Customisable Server Status Dashboard Template
The Customisable Server Status Dashboard template is a powerful tool for software builders who want to keep their users informed about the status of their servers. Whether you're dealing with maintenance, outages, or other incidents, this dashboard provides a user-friendly interface to report status updates in real-time. With this template, you can create a personalized dashboard that reflects the status of your services, and you can manage comments, status changes, and more with ease.
Getting Started with the Template
To begin building your server status dashboard, click on "Start with this Template" on the Lazy platform. This will pre-populate the code in the Lazy Builder interface, so you won't need to copy or paste any code.
Initial Setup
Before testing your application, you may need to set up environment secrets if your application requires them. For this template, you'll need to set the 'SECRET_KEY' environment secret, which is used to keep the sessions secure. To set this up, navigate to the Environment Secrets tab within the Lazy Builder and add a new secret with the key 'SECRET_KEY' and a secure value of your choice.
Test: Deploying the App
Once you've configured the environment secrets, you can deploy your application by pressing the "Test" button. This will launch the Lazy CLI, and the deployment process will begin. If the application requires any user input, you will be prompted to provide it through the Lazy CLI.
Entering Input
If the template code requires user input, you will be prompted to provide this input through the Lazy CLI after pressing the "Test" button. Follow the prompts to enter the necessary information, such as domain and password for login or registration.
Using the App
After deployment, Lazy will provide you with a dedicated server link to access your server status dashboard. This dashboard allows you to add new statuses, edit existing ones, and manage comments. Users can view the status of various components and any comments associated with them.
Integrating the App
If you need to integrate the server status dashboard into an external service or frontend, you can use the server link provided by Lazy. For example, you can embed the dashboard into your website or application by linking to the dashboard URL, allowing users to access the status updates directly from your platform.
Remember, all the deployment and server management is handled by Lazy, so you can focus on customizing and using your dashboard without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
For more detailed information on how to use the Flask framework and SQLAlchemy, which are used in this template, you can refer to the official documentation:
