Uptime Kuma Open Source Uptime Monitor for HomeLab Server monitoring

[@LouisLamLam]

Thanks for the video! 18:00 My name sounds like "Louis Lamp".

[@VirtualizationHowto]

Thank you Louis! So sorry for butchering the name....it is hard to decipher developers names from github ids sometimes. Thanks again for the amazing project!

[@rrogan2002]

Great explanation on configuring remote docker containers for monitoring I couldn't figure this one out in the past.

[@VirtualizationHowto]

Rick thank you for the comment and glad it was helpful!

[@sammyjenkin]

Friendly tip. If you are trying to connect via something like a Synology NAS, be sure to add port 2375 to the firewall. Otherwise, you won't be able to connect.

[@BryanGonzalezYT]

Friendly tip, don't expose 2375 (docker socket) to an untrusted network. Exposing the daemon like this allows anyone connection to that port to stop containers, create new containers, etc... major headache. Since kuma is conveniently deployable as a container itself, use something like technativa's socket-proxy on a network with only the containers that need to access it (kuma in this case) socket-proxy will be the only container that has direct access to the socket (via the host socket bind mount). Simply configure kuma to connect to 2375 on the socket-proxy container which will have most of the docker API disabled, which you can then enable only the resources you need via environment variables. The container log even tells you which api's were attempted an blocked, making it very easy to identify which you need to enable to satisfy kuma.

thanks sir, been using Uptime Kuma about 2 weeks, and it's really great, gonna explore more

[@VirtualizationHowto]

Yulia, thank you for the comment! Yes it is awesome.

[@SB-qm5wg]

I'm glad it's got SMTP alerts. Very cool

[@VirtualizationHowto]

SB, thank you for the comment. Yes awesome alerting capabilities.

[@moulcode]

if I'm using a mac where I can modify the docker.service.d and other files plus I'm using docker compose

[@moulcode]

your explanation is just amazing thanks a lot

[@VirtualizationHowto]

@wahibAbdou0206 thank you!

[@Tony-rl2fr]

Very nice presentation, thank you. Will be trying this 👍🏻

[@VirtualizationHowto]

Hope you enjoy!

[@ghostedragon964]

What about allowing uptimekuma to read docker socket in truenas scale?

[@SyedJahangeer-y9b]

I am unable to monitor anything internal like biometric or dns server. please help. it always fails

[@user-od6gi4lz8t]

Thanks for this video, I love your channel and subscribed! ❤ Do you have any other monitoring system to suggest easy and nice like Kuma? I’m looking to implement something on my Raspberry Pi 4, thanks!

[@maniejv86]

What are the steps for monitoring my pihole status in uptime-kuma? My pihole is running from a Docker Container on my Synology NAS.

[@VirtualizationHowto]

@maniejv86 Thank you for the comment! If you would like to discuss further, sign up on the VHT forums and we can talk about it: www.virtualizationhowto.com/community

[@Filllian]

Nice job Brandon👍

[@VirtualizationHowto]

Thank you!

[@iwbowden]

Nice video! I'd want to use Uptime Kuma to watch the few dozen client websites I have in my website design business for whom I self-host the websites. I would want to send each client an annual report, showing the downtime (if any!) of their website over the past year. Are there any built-in reporting features with Uptime Kuma or some sort of add-on that would allow me to create nice PDF reports?

[@SametKaratas-db1xu]

Uptime Kuma may work on Windows Server

[@ronm6585]

Thanks.

[@mcgarnacle21]

Fantastic. Can you pause it (perhaps on a schedule] so you can do planned maintenance on a server without it affecting your uptime stats?

[@LouisLamLam]

Yes, Uptime Kuma has maintenance mode for that purpose.

[@mcgarnacle21]

@@LouisLamLam Awesome. Thanks mate.

[@sanchishkin]

Great

[@TheMrJRM1981]

Et-sea?!?!?!?

[@vigilantezack]

/etc/ is pronounced 'eht-sea', yes. And not like "etcetera".

[@ST-actual]

Uptime is amazing. Love it. Haven’t figured out if it can do snmp yet but I’m trying to replace Zabbix

[@VirtualizationHowto]

ST thanks for th ecomment!
