 # status
 simple script to act as a status page
+
+# how to run
+the script uses the environment values ping_hosts and http_hosts to select the targets, if youre running them from the cli, you most likely need to export them before like
+```bash
+export ping_hosts="localhost localhost" && export http_hosts="https://duck.com https://google.com" && ./status.sh
+```
+- do not quote individual hosts
+- https needs to specified most of the time to avoid 308s
+
+for running the script in docker, see the included compose file
