A way to host Uptime Kuma - Lemmy.world
Hi people! I am in the process of setting up my selfhosted services and I would
like to have a status monitor for them and for my websites. I really like Uptime
Kuma, but right now I am not sure where should I host it. I do not want it on my
VPS (for obvious reasons) and I do not have a spare old PC that I would run at
home. At first I wanted to have it on a separate, very small VPS from my server
provider but in different datacentre, but without a public IPv4 (only v6 are
free) I’m not sure how I would expose it to the public (any tips?). I would want
to ask you for some recommendations for sites offering a hosting option for just
this one thing, preferrably with a free tier(?). The docker container takes up
only about 120-130MiB of RAM so even 1vCPU, 256MiB of RAM and a few hundred MiBs
of storage would suffice. I don’t mind something with “sleep after a period of
inactivity” type of thing, as I can just setup a cron job to ping the site. Or
if you have some other way to have a FOSS status monitor hosted outside of my
prod. server, I will appreciate every tip. Thank you very much, hope you are
having a good day :)

A few questions about selfhosting from a newbie - Lemmy.world
Hi, I recently acquired a pretty solid VPS for a good price, and right now I use
it to run Caddy for two personal sites. When I moved to Lemmy I found about this
awesome community and it got me really interested in selfhosting. I won’t be
asking for tips on what to selfhost (but feel free to add what you use), there’s
a lot of posts about it to look through, but I was wondering: how are you
accessing your selfhosted stuff? I would love to have some sort of dashboard
with monitoring and statuses of all my services, so should I just setup
WireGuard and then access everything locally? I wanted to have it behind a
domain, how would I achieve it? E.g. my public site would be at example.com
[http://example.com] and my dashboard behind dash.example.com
[http://dash.example.com], but only accessible locally through a VPN. I started
to learn Docker when setting up my Caddy server, so I’m still really new to this
stuff. Are there any major no-no things a newbie might do with
Docker/selfhosting that I should avoid? I’m really looking forward to setting
everything up once I have it planned out, that’s the most fun part for me, the
troubleshooting and fixing all the small errors and stuff. So, thank you for
your help and ideas, I can share my setup when it’s done.
