Question 1

What does Web-Check actually check?

Accepted Answer

From a single domain entry it runs dozens of checks at once — DNS records, SSL certificate details, HTTP security headers, detected technology stack, open ports, server location, DNSSEC, redirect chains, cookies, crawl rules, and more — and lays them out as cards.

Question 2

Does it have accounts or store anything?

Accepted Answer

No — there's no database, no accounts, and no volumes. It's a stateless container that performs checks on demand and stores nothing, which means there's nothing to back up and redeploying it loses nothing. It also means it has no authentication, so keep it firewalled.

Question 3

Which port does it use?

Accepted Answer

Host port 8185, mapped from the container's internal 3000. Browse to 8185; the 3000 is the port inside the container. Keep the port restricted, since the dashboard is unauthenticated.

Question 4

Is it safe to expose to the internet?

Accepted Answer

No. With no authentication, an exposed instance is essentially an open recon proxy — anyone could use your server to probe other sites, with the traffic coming from your IP. Restrict port 8185 with ufw to yourself, and if you need remote access, put it behind a TLS reverse proxy with its own login.

Question 5

Can I scan any website I want?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but you should only scan domains you own or are explicitly authorized to test. The requests originate from your server's IP, so probing sites without permission can look hostile and may breach terms of service or law. Use it for your own sites and authorized security work.

Port	Purpose
8185	Web UI (host → container 3000) — no authentication
storage	None — no database, no volumes, stateless
