runbook on docker fresh install - many operations cause a stathat.StatHatError stack trace

[scumola]

Docker fresh install just as documented on Ubuntu 16.04.

StatHatError: Something bad happened:

This happens when creating a new Email Notification Action, when creating a new HTTP GET monitor and many other actions. Is something missing from the docker containers or perhaps some package is now incompatible in some way? Is this being maintained?

[scumola]

When this happens, the runbook docker container dies at the same time.

Looks like the external calls to Stathat are failing and returning that error. When I get some time I can take a look at revising it to not call out to stathat if there is not a valid URL.

Also, tbh I'm not really actively maintaining Runbook these days, I have more moved my attention to Automatron which is similar to Runbook but a bit different.
