# Cachet

- focuses on posting information rather than pinging services
- looks like setting status is manual

```

## Tips & Tricks

### Generate APP_KEY
Once the container is running, execute the following command:
```sh
docker exec -i ID_OF_THE_CONTAINER php artisan key:generate
```
The full key should include `base64`, e.g.: `base64:YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY`.
