Kuvasz Uptime
The developer- and cloud-friendly uptime monitor·kuvasz-uptime.dev
Kuvasz is an open-source, self-hosted uptime and SSL monitoring service that checks the availability of websites and services via HTTP, push (cron), and ICMP (ping) monitors. It offers public/private status pages, maintenance windows, a REST API, metrics exporters (Prometheus/OTLP), and multiple notification channels. It is distributed as a single Docker image and requires only a PostgreSQL database to run.
