Private Location Self-Hosted Not Registering/Seen

[terrancesnyder]

I have followed the instructions and tried many different things. Overall basically private location shows up but "not seen". Examining all logs and options I dont see anything that shows the reason.

@terrancesnyder thanks for reporting will have a look at it over the next days

[thibaultleouay]

How do you deploy the probes ?

[terrancesnyder]

How do you deploy the probes ?

Not sure I understand @thibaultleouay ? I followed this, and it was already in the docker compose for the private-location. So its sitting there, and I made sure to follow the steps to add the UUID generated when i registered it with said TOKEN.

<Snippet from https://docs.openstatus.dev/guides/self-hosting-openstatus/>

Deploy a Private Location

The self-hosted version relies on private locations to perform checks.

• In the dashboard, navigate to Settings -> Private Locations and create a new one.
• Copy the generated OPENSTATUS_KEY.
• Deploy the private location probe to your infrastructure using the Docker image ghcr.io/openstatushq/private-location:latest.
• When deploying, you must provide two environment variables to the container:
  • OPENSTATUS_KEY: The key you just copied.
  • OPENSTATUS_INGEST_URL: The URL of your self-hosted server’s API endpoint (e.g., http://:3001).
