This page documents the deployment and operation of Uptime Kuma on a Linux-based VPS for external service availability monitoring.

The configuration is provider-agnostic and can be used with any VPS provider (Hostinger, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS, etc.).

📌 Purpose

Uptime Kuma provides independent, external monitoring for websites, applications, and network endpoints.

It is used to:

• Detect service outages and reachability issues
• Track uptime and availability trends
• Provide alerting when services become unreachable
• Offer a centralized, read-only service status view

Monitoring reflects external reachability only and does not imply ownership or operational control of monitored services.

🖥 Platform Overview

• Host Type: Cloud VPS
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 LTS (recommended)
• Runtime: Docker + Docker Compose
• Access Method: Web UI
• Monitoring Scope: External availability checks
