Sure! Here's a tutorial on how to install Uptime Kuma on Elementary OS:

Step 1: Install dependencies

First, we need to install some dependencies that are required for Uptime Kuma to run. Open a terminal and enter the following command:

sudo apt-get install git build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-pip

Step 2: Clone Uptime Kuma

Next, we need to clone the Uptime Kuma repository from GitHub. To do this, enter the following command:

git clone https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma.git

Step 3: Install Python packages

Uptime Kuma requires a number of Python packages to be installed. To install these packages, navigate to the Uptime Kuma directory that we just cloned and enter the following command:

cd uptime-kuma && sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Start Uptime Kuma

With the dependencies and Python packages installed, we can now start Uptime Kuma. To do this, navigate to the Uptime Kuma directory and enter the following command:

python3 uptimekuma.py

Uptime Kuma should now be running and accessible through your web browser at http://localhost:3001.

Step 5: Optional - Configure Uptime Kuma to run as a daemon

If you want Uptime Kuma to run as a daemon, meaning it will start automatically when your system boots up, you can use the included systemd service file. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the uptime-kuma.service file located in the Uptime Kuma directory: nano uptime-kuma.service.
2. Change the User field to your own user account on your system.
3. Copy the uptime-kuma.service file to /etc/systemd/system/: sudo cp uptime-kuma.service /etc/systemd/system/.
4. Reload systemd: sudo systemctl daemon-reload.
5. Enable the Uptime Kuma service to start on boot: sudo systemctl enable uptime-kuma.
6. Start the Uptime Kuma service: sudo systemctl start uptime-kuma.

Uptime Kuma will now start automatically when your system boots up.

And that's it! You should now have Uptime Kuma up and running on your Elementary OS system.
