Uptime Kuma seems really cool. I set it up last week and it seems to work quite well.
I prefer gatus because you can pass it a configuration file. Allows me to manage my setup declaratively
That's something I want too. I was toying with the idea of finding out if there's an external config file and bind mounting it.
We’re looking at that at work and it seems pretty good. I’d probably want to host it external to where my lab cluster is though otherwise it’s kind of pointless, eh?
That's true, I thought of hosting it on a VPS but then VPN is another moving part that can fail. I ended up putting it in a mini-pc on the same stack as firewall and modem so that it is relatively stable.
This left me with the problem that I don't want to expose my docker socket from each host so I've to use the network based tools rather than the built in docker monitoring. If you host it in the cluster itself, it shouldn't be a problem.
Yeah, hosting it yourself certainly has various potential issues unfortunately :/
