Uptime Kuma
Monitoring & StatusEasy self-hosted uptime monitoring tool
Replaces Pingdom, UptimeRobot
Service up/down checks and alerts
Homelab Monitoring Stack
Know when things break before your users do.
Uptime Kuma pings every service and alerts the moment one goes down, Beszel tracks per-host and per-container resource usage with almost no setup, and Prometheus plus Grafana provide the heavyweight metrics pipeline once you outgrow simple checks. Healthchecks watches the things that fail silently — cron jobs and backups that simply stop running. Start with Uptime Kuma and Beszel; add the Prometheus layer when you need query-able history.
