Access Smokeping web interface

At present, smoke login has not been added to webpage login verification. This feature will be added later.

Alarm mail settings

Because sendmail and postfix can no longer send mail based on the local server under docker, so use the zmail library under python3 here. If you want to use the mail alert feature. Please follow the steps below:

1. First fill in the accurate email information (including username and password, SMTP server and alarm receiving address) when building docker. Specific zmail usage can refer to

zmail: https://github.com/ZYunH/zmail

2. Modify the /smokeping/etc/targets file. Add the following command to the host or host group that needs to be alerted. alerts = hostdown,hightloss,lossdetect,someloss,rttdetect
