Automated RunCloud Server Setup Checklist

Every morning, WebRun opens RunCloud, reads a newly connected server's web application, database, and SSL setup status, sends you a WhatsApp message once it's fully ready to deploy, and logs a calendar review for anything still pending.

In short

How do I track a new RunCloud server's setup until it's ready to deploy?

WebRun checks a newly connected RunCloud server's web application, database, and SSL setup every morning, logs a calendar review for anything still pending, and sends a WhatsApp message the moment the server is fully ready to deploy. It never configures the server itself, so nothing goes live without a verified setup behind it.

  • Nothing gets deployed without every setup step verified
  • Pending items get their own calendar review, not a missed step
  • You hear about it on WhatsApp the moment the server is ready

Setup & safety

Secure by default

Connect once, stays signed in

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.

Your credentials stay in your own private environment - WebRun never stores your passwords.
Strict Lockdown

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it configure the web app, database, or SSL for me?

No. WebRun only reads the server's current setup status. Configuring a web app, database, or SSL certificate stays a manual step you take in RunCloud.

How do I know what's still missing?

Any pending item gets its own calendar entry describing what's blocking it, so nothing gets missed before you deploy.

Will I be notified every day?

Only when something changes: a pending review entry while setup continues, and a single WhatsApp message once the server is ready.

Put this on autopilot.
