What is Uptime Kuma?
Uptime Kuma checks your sites, APIs, TCP ports, DNS records and containers on a schedule, and tells you the moment one stops answering.
It also publishes status pages, so the same monitors that page you can reassure your customers without a second subscription.
What you get
- HTTP(S), TCP, ping, DNS, keyword and certificate-expiry monitors
- Notifications to Telegram, Slack, Discord, email, webhooks and 90+ others
- Public status pages with incident history and custom domains
- Certificate expiry warnings and response-time charts per monitor
Running Uptime Kuma on Autogineer Cloud
Uptime Kuma is a one-click install here: choose it at checkout, set a root password, and the server is built, the software installed and configured, and published on its own HTTPS address — usually in about a minute, with the whole build streamed to your browser as it runs.
- Installed and configured, not just downloaded. The build finishes only once Uptime Kuma is answering on its port with a real page — a server that could not finish is reported as failed rather than handed over looking complete.
- A working HTTPS address from the first minute. Your server is published at an address like uptimekuma-vps.autogineer.com, with a valid certificate, so webhooks and OAuth callbacks work immediately. Your own domain can be added afterwards.
- Full root over SSH. The one-click install is a starting point, not a cage: you can reconfigure Uptime Kuma, install anything beside it, or replace it entirely.
- Backups you can restore from. On-demand backups of the whole server on every paid plan, which for Uptime Kuma means its data as well as its configuration.
- Room to grow. Resize the plan as Uptime Kuma grows, or rebuild the same server with a different app when the project changes.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants alerting they control, and small teams who need a status page without a SaaS bill.
Getting started with Uptime Kuma
- When the build finishes, your server's page in the dashboard shows its HTTPS address, its root password and any sign-in details the installer set for Uptime Kuma. The build console streams every step as it happens, so you can see exactly what was installed rather than taking it on trust.
- The first screen creates the admin account. Add a monitor for the site you care about, attach a notification channel, then publish a status page if you want customers to see it too.
- Add your own domain from the same page when you are ready: point a DNS record at the server and the certificate is issued for you. The original address keeps working, so nothing you configured against it breaks.
- Take a backup once Uptime Kuma is configured the way you want it. A backup captures the whole server, so restoring one brings back Uptime Kuma and its data together — and it is the only thing that will bring them back.
Frequently asked questions
How many monitors can it handle?
Dozens comfortably on the smallest plan; the limit is check frequency against CPU, not a licence.
Should the monitor live on the same server as the thing it watches?
No — put it on its own server. A monitor that dies with the service it monitors tells you nothing, which is the whole point of separating them.
Can it alert me by email?
Yes, with your own SMTP credentials, alongside chat and webhook channels.
How long does it take to install Uptime Kuma?
About a minute. Choosing Uptime Kuma at checkout builds the server, installs it, and publishes it on an HTTPS address, streaming the progress to your browser as it happens.
What size server does Uptime Kuma need?
At least 1 vCPU, 1 GB of memory and 10 GB of disk, which is the Starter plan or larger. These are the figures the installer is tested against rather than the smallest configuration that will boot.
Do I get root access to the server?
Yes. Every server includes full root access over SSH on its own port, so you can configure, extend or replace anything the one-click installer set up.
Can I use my own domain with Uptime Kuma?
Yes. Each server is published on its own HTTPS address the moment it is built — uptimekuma-vps.autogineer.com for example, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the dashboard.
