In this week’s issue (#39, 2023) of README Highlight, we are taking a look at the following project: Uptime Kuma.

Uptime Kuma is an easy-to-use self-hosted monitoring tool. It allows users to monitor the uptime of various services, including HTTP(s), TCP, HTTP(s) Keyword, HTTP(s) Json Query, Ping, DNS Record, Push, Steam Game Server, and Docker Containers.

Some of the key features of Uptime Kuma include:

  • 20-second intervals for monitoring
  • Multi-language support
  • Multiple status pages
  • Ping chart
  • Certificate info
  • Proxy support

Uptime Kuma can be installed using Docker or on a non-Docker environment. For Docker installation, users can run the following command:

docker run -d --restart=always -p 3001:3001 -v uptime-kuma:/app/data --name uptime-kuma louislam/uptime-kuma:1

For non-Docker installation, users need to have node, npm, git, and pm2 installed. They can then clone the Uptime Kuma repository and run the necessary setup commands. Uptime Kuma also provides a Windows Portable (x64) version for easy installation on Windows systems. For more advanced installation options, users can refer to the project’s documentation. To keep Uptime Kuma up to date, users can follow the instructions provided in the project’s documentation.
