Installation issues

[SunnyTeater]

Hi guys,

i have cachet installed on a debian 10 (stable) system and followed the installation guide on the main side and in #86 (the default installation guide could be better)

after trying so much i just use the default config.json and only changed API key and URL

https://pastebin.com/DHUyh7cx - configuration

if i now use the command:

$ cachet_monitor -c config.json

i get this error:

WARN[0000] Unable to parse configuration file
PANI[0000] Unable to start (reading config): invalid character 'a' looking for beginning of value

i think i did everything wrong, but i could not find any better documentation.
So please be gracious to me.

Thanks.

You’re using a file with a json extension but with a yaml format. Use the json format inside your file or rename the config file to config.yml.
