Self hosted uptime monitor for tiny yearly vps?

Hey, I have one of those cheap yearly VPSes that's idling and I'd like to turn it into an uptime monitor for my other idling VPSes haha. I was wondering if anyone has a favorite self hosted solution for this? That's also easy on resources or I can limit cpu in a docker container. Thanks

  • I want to make a scenic route monitoring setup with all my boxes:

    • iptables rule on vpsk would receive packets from vpsk-1 and forward it to vpsk+1 (if k=9 forward to vps0).
    • I only need userspace program on vps0: it periodically transmits a packet to vps1 and expect the same packet to come back from vps9.

    ServerFactory aff best VPS; HostBrr aff best storage.

  • @Neoon's Night-Sky, didn't try it before but it looks good.

    Statping, as referenced by Freek already, is really nice. If you are a PHP developer by any chance and are looking to customise your uptime monitor, you might also want to consider Spaties uptime monitor (see also). It's Laravel-based and rather simplistic, but that provides a nice base to add your own features - especially if you are already familiar with the Laravel framework.

  • recently there is something like upptime which uses github actions, i like the idea more. the dev is innovative guy

    you can give it a try

  • Thanks so much for the options, guys! I thought for some reason there would be more options out there or some new up and coming ones.

    I did notice the Upptime one that uses github actions but I'm not a fan of github, especially since Microsoft took over. But I think it's a smart serverless solution!

    I saw that Statping seemed to be the most popular one and is already included in HomelabOS that I used on one of my servers. Thanks for the PHP option. I have a friend who is a fan of Laravel and I'll send it to him.

    Just found this, what do you guys think, anyone tried it? https://github.com/brotandgames/ciao

  • Statping has multiple checking options. Ciao seems to have only one.

    yeah I noticed that. I think I'll go with statping for now. but I like Ciao's ui
