Uptime Kuma

Install Uptime Kuma in one click: watches your sites and shows a status page. What it makes, its admin page, first steps and updates.

Uptime Kuma: watches your sites and shows a status page. It comes from its makers' official release, at an exact version, checked for known security problems and tried on a real server before we offered it.

What it makes

  • The app, with 256 MB of memory and a quarter of a processor: the limits it runs well with. They're ceilings, not sizes: it pays only for what it really uses, and you can change them on the install page or later. See limits.

  • A free address with HTTPS, and the project's backups, with a first one as soon as it's ready.

It keeps its data in a small database file on its own disk, so it needs no database of its own.

Install it

Asha wants Uptime Kuma in her project duka.

  1. Open the project. On its Overview, under Add a service, choose From the catalog.

  2. Search for Uptime Kuma, or pick it under its category, then choose Install.

  3. Give it an App name, like status, and type the Admin email you'll log in with.

  4. Check its limits and the monthly estimate, then choose Install.

A strong password is shown once. Copy it, then choose I've saved it. The app's card shows each step until Ready; until then nobody but you can reach it.

Its admin page

When it's ready, choose Open its admin page on its card: its address followed by /dashboard. Log in with your email and the password you saved, then:

  1. Choose Add New Monitor, pick HTTP(s) and type your site's address.

  2. Under Settings → Notifications, add where alerts go, like email or a chat app.

  3. Make a public Status Page for your customers, then give it your own domain.

Updates

When a newer, checked version of the same line is out, the app's card shows Update to that version. The project is backed up first; if the new version doesn't start, the one before keeps serving. Security updates install by themselves unless you switch that off on the card, and for 7 days after an update you can Go back to the version before. A new line, like Uptime Kuma 2 to 3, is a new install, never an update. If the version you run is found to have a known security hole, you get one email and a message under the bell, with Update on the card. See one-click apps.

Licence

Uptime Kuma is made by its makers, not by us, and keeps its own licence: MIT. Its website: uptime.kuma.pet.
