Interesting that the new #Australia #MyID Website, which supposedly is intended to protect your online #privacy and #security, embeds #Google and #Pingdom #tracking. So much for privacy!

Today I have been playing with Uptime Kuma. An open-source fancy self-hosting monitoring tool. An alternative to #Pingdom, #UptimeRobot, #StatusCake etc.

I have been using a basic paid service for a few domains to keep track of licences and a few specific pages. But they have been alerting me to upgrade -- which I didn't want to.

Last week, I recalled that I had starred a similar repository on GitHub. I searched, though, and today I set up without much hassle on just 2GB RAM and 1vCPU server. It's running very since then. I have added 12 domains, and the CPU usage has been below 10%.

I have yet to verify the alerts in emails and chats via hooks for when services are down, but I have created three public dashboards that I or anyone else can access from anywhere and check via browser till I get them working smoothly.

If anyone has similar needs in my network and needs advice about setting up this monitoring tool, I am happy to help.
