https://video.elfhosted.com/videos/watch/8961b56f-d53a-4331-8db0-58d63ccbdb40 Uptime Kuma is website monitoring with a status page. Hosted Uptime Kuma watches from outside the house, so a power cut still sends the alert. Run Uptime Kuma with ElfHosted, and it sees your home setup the way the rest of the internet does, so when the house goes dark, the alert still goes out, to your phone through Sam, or to your chat and email. Homelab monitoring works best from outside: a monitor on the same network goes down with the things it watches. We run it for you, keep it updated, and give it a secure address; want the status page on your own domain, there's a custom domain add-on. Unlike a generic chatbot, which guesses and overcomplicates, Sam is tuned on these apps and the way we run them: he safely reads your actual logs and proposes a fix, and nothing changes until you approve it. What is Uptime Kuma? An open-source uptime monitoring dashboard from the Uptime Kuma project, and an open-source alternative to UptimeRobot. It checks your websites and services on a schedule, tracks how fast they answer, and spots the moment one goes down: check a website, look for a word on the page, test a game server's port, or let a device check in with a push monitor. A public status page tells the rest of the family what's up before they ask. Hosted Uptime Kuma is part of the ElfHosted Flex collection: a Flex plan runs several apps from the collection at once, and you swap which ones whenever you like. Every Flex plan starts with a 7-day trial. It's backed up daily, and you can restore it yourself whenever you need to. If something's not right, Sam checks your apps, tells you what's wrong, and asks before fixing it. Uptime Kuma is open source; ElfHosted is not affiliated with the Uptime Kuma project. You can support its developers through Open Collective or GitHub Sponsors. And when Sam can't sort it, real people from our team are on Discord around the clock, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server. It's one place for support for every app you run with us, handled by professionals, instead of a GitHub issue, docs that may be out of date, or yet another Discord per project.
