In this tutorial, we will be covering the steps to install Uptime Kuma on Ubuntu Server Latest. Uptime Kuma is an open-source self-hosted uptime monitoring solution that helps monitor your websites, servers, and services.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to clone the Uptime Kuma repository from GitHub. To do this, open up a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma.git
Once the repository is cloned successfully, go to the directory by running the following command:
cd uptime-kuma
Next, you will need to configure the Uptime Kuma environment variables. To do this, create a new file named .env in the uptime-kuma directory and add the following variables:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://uptimekuma:<password>@db/uptimekuma
DOMAIN=your-domain.com
TZ=Asia/Hong_Kong
Make sure to replace <password> with your desired password for the postgres user.
After configuring the environment variables, you can launch the Uptime Kuma application by running the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This command will download the necessary Docker images and start the application in detached mode.
To make sure that Uptime Kuma is properly installed and running, open your web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip:3000 (replace your-server-ip with the IP address of your server). You should be able to access the Uptime Kuma dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Uptime Kuma on your Ubuntu Server Latest environment. Now you can start monitoring your websites, servers, and services.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
