A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I’ve got a lot of services, some in docker, some in LXC or a VM in proxmox. Currently I’ve got no monitoring service. Recently a service went down and I didn’t notice for quite a while so now I’ve got a bunch of missing data. What monitoring tools do you all use? Looking for something that works with docker and plain Linux CTs/VMs and can notify me if a website is down, docker container crashed, VM is offline, etc.

and as a bonus feature something that I can run on two machines so if an entire machine dies, the other will notice and I’ll still receive a notification.

notification can be anything, email, sms, push, etc.

UptimeKuma is what I use; it'll watch tcp connections, docker containers, websites... whatever. And the notifications are pretty comprehensive and probably cover anything in 2023 would want to be using.

+1 for Uptime Kuma. Dead simple to set up and configure, and it has alert support for dozens of services.

I administer a large Zabbix environment in my day job, and while it's not complicated to get set up, it's overkill for simple up/down service monitoring.
