Quick Start

1. Deploy NORA using Docker — see the README for the compose snippet
2. Open the UI (default: http://your-host:8081)
3. Log in or complete the initial setup to create your admin account
4. Add an app from the library or create a custom profile
5. Add infrastructure components (Proxmox, Synology, Docker, etc.) as needed
6. Add monitor checks (ping, URL, SSL, DNS) for services you care about
7. Configure Web Push or SMTP for notifications and alert rules

NORA only shows what you've configured. An empty install shows setup prompts — not empty widgets.
