+====
+
+A tool that fires off Tailscale logs to Pushover.
+
+# Usage
+
+This is intendet to be behind a reverse proxy that provedes HTTPS.
+
+You will need to set three environment variables:
+
+- `POTS_TOKEN`: This is a random string you generate.
+- `PUSHOVER_USER`: Your Pushover user token.
+- `PUSHOVER_TOKEN`: Your Pushover app token.
+
+## POTS_TOKEN
+
+This variable is used to give Tailscale a unique string that isn't easily guessed.
+
+For example, if you set`POTS_TOKEN=arstarst`, then you would point Tailscale's
+webhook at `https://yourdomain/api/arstarst`.
