Uptime Kuma

$ BudgetFree · Last reviewed July 2026

Uptime Kuma is the most popular self-hosted uptime monitor: an open-source dashboard checking HTTP, TCP, ping, DNS, and container targets with notifications to dozens of channels and built-in status pages. It is the default answer for homelabs and teams that want monitoring on their own infrastructure with no per-monitor pricing. The software is entirely free, typically run as a single Docker container. It suits anyone preferring owned infrastructure over hosted uptime services.
