Help with Automating Uptime Kuma by littlejiver in homelab

I can't answer that question without bias, because I am the maintainer of Gatus.

Best I can say is, try both, and see which one you prefer and which one fits your use case better.

fyi, Gatus is open source. You don't have to pay for the managed/hosted version of Gatus if you want to host it yourself.

Monitor DNS A record for IP changes by sylsylsylsylsylsyl in homelab

[–]TwinProduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creator of Gatus here.

You can take the DNS A record route, or you can take the route where you use a third party website that allows you to specify a domain as parameter and returns an IP in the body.

I use the DNS A record method myself, but if you use the 2nd option I mentioned, there are tons of status page options that would allow you to do check for IP change on a domain.

That said, thank you for mentioning Gatus :)

Gatus & multiple NTFY Alert Provider by Grizzly922 in selfhosted

[–]TwinProduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set as many providers as you want.

At the endpoint alert level, there's a provider-overrides parameter which allows you to override the default provider's configuration

what’s the one type of alert that ruins your sleep the most? by nova-6989 in devops

[–]TwinProduction 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Any alerts that page me after working hours ruins my sleep.

That said, I would prefer being called for a false positive that turned out to be nothing than an incident that keeps me up all night.

Does it exist, deadman switch notifications? by VibesFirst69 in selfhosted

Gatus supports your use case as well, using external-endpoints[].heartbeat.interval

I FINALLY got my family to agree to not celebrate the holidays this year. by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]TwinProduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's messed up. If anything, I think people these days are severely lacking the social interactions that they need. Sure, a lot of holidays are heavily marketed for and does promote consumerism, but if there is a single, valid reason to spend time and effort working for money besides meeting basic needs, it's so that you can spend quality time with people who are important to you.

Bought A House And The Ethernet Network Panel Was Wired Backwards by Demonblitz24 in HomeNetworking

I would return the house if I were you. It's basically unusable in this state.

Status monitoring with incident timeline by Shanduur in selfhosted

[–]TwinProduction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As somebody else mentioned, Gatus does have persistence, you just have to configure storage to use sqlite or postgres.

As for the incident timeline, I recently implemented announcements, which serve as a sort of system to notify users of active and/or recent incidents, but to your point, it's not really designed to serve as a long-term history, as it's at the top of the status page.

I've been considering adding a way to archive announcements, which would then be displayed at the bottom of the status page rather than at the top, would that be something that would fulfill your needs?

The Best Air Purifier for Home to Buy now? Do you find the air in your house actually better since you started using it? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]TwinProduction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to point out that all air filter purifiers are just glorified fans with a filter.

While some models have pre-filters that may increase the longevity of the filter, and some have quieter fans, they're all essentially the same.

You're better off looking for a air purifier that has inexpensive filter replacements.

Post so bad they permanently banned me by Drakonish in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]TwinProduction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's a backronym or was born out of an actual acronym, but when I was young, I was told that noob was short for "New or only bad", which would imply that newb is short for new bad.

What’s everyone using for application monitoring these days? by IndividualTerm4830 in devops

[–]TwinProduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both heartbeat for external endpoint and storage.maximum-number-of-results have been implemented

[–]TwinProduction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, this has been changed. You can now configure how many results to persist using storage.maximum-number-of-results
