Uptime-kuma

uptime-kuma is a very basic though marvelously simple monitoring and alerting tool. This is the reason we picked it over numerous over competitors (on top of which we surely find Prometheus/Grafana stack).

Setting up the uptime-kuma stack

All relevant information can be found in the docker-compose.kuma.yml file (here).

Only one uptime_kuma_data volume is needed for uptime-kuma to store it's information.

Optional environment variables (documentation here) should be put in an .kuma.env file. There also put one mandatory variable:

  • kuma_url corresponds to the DNS address you created in order to reach the kuma interface

make kuma-launch

$ make kuma-launch
