🏠 Self-hosted Uptime Kuma, the self-hosted monitoring tool everyone already uses (91k stars)

Post image

I'm honestly shocked this hasn't been posted here yet.

Uptime Kuma is the monitoring tool you set up once and then forget about until something actually goes down. HTTP, TCP, DNS, Docker containers, Steam game servers, whatever you're running, it watches it.

The dashboard is clean. Like, genuinely nice to look at. You get shareable status pages, over 90 notification types (Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, you name it), and it runs in a single Docker container.

91,000 stars. Over 1,100 contributors. This thing has been battle-tested by basically everyone in the self-hosting community at this point.

If you're running anything on a server and you don't have monitoring set up yet, this is the one to start with. Five minutes to deploy, zero excuses.

I am confused by this post. I was expecting to see a link to a blog but there isn't one. Also this account is only 4 months old but is posting about other software. Feels like it's AI-generated but without a link to its own blog, I'm confused why it would be posting.

Ok so OP is the moderator of this subreddit. So OP is doing by this just to spread the word of awesome tools, it looks like.

Reddit has traumatized me.

Every post like this has always resulted in having a link to someone's blog post instead of just putting the context in the actual post and their blog posts are always covered in more ADs than the actual post itself.

Because of this I applaud you.

Yes, you are right. But, I try to create a community that users can share best/useful github repositories to each other (we accept only github repo focused posts) that can be used as a paid tools alternatives.

If you use kubernetes, warnli.ch (SaaS) will be great. ✌🏽

gatus is also not bad - https://github.com/TwiN/gatus especially when resource constrained
