Known issues¶

ubos-admin status emits some (harmless) errors under some circumstances.
Running Pagekite with ubos-admin start-pagekite on a device that runs a wildcard site (ie a site whose hostname was specified as *) may not forward the traffic correctly. Redeploy the site with its public hostname instead.
