      While I would love to use this app more, it is not in a stable form IMO which causes frustration and lost time and eventually abandonment.

      It is so fragile that seemingly simple changes completely break the app, and undoing those changes don't always bring it back into a working state.

      I think we need some more eyes on why this is happening or package an alternative that is functional and robust.

      If nothing else, make a more usefully configured default install that requires minimal changes and just works.

      Alternatively if someone has already spent the time modifying and getting a stable configuration, perhaps share a backup snapshot of the app we can import and use. Volunteers?

        @robi it works mostly okay for me but the pings aren't always accurate. What errors or problems are you having?

          @doodlemania2 twice I spent hours customizing the default install only to end up in a blank white page, no dashboard and cloudron thinking everything is passing healthchecks.

          Stopped trying after that.

            @robi Here I reported about save data problems. I tried to look inside database and take a look inside, but I got this other problem. Maybe problems are related?

            I was curious to buy "Hosted" instance of Statping to problems

              I was actually pretty sure this app is unstable but it somehow got marked as stable. I have made it as unstable again.

              I am still waiting for a response to https://github.com/statping/statping/issues/761 on how to actually configure the app correctly.

                @girish Wow, ticket seems to look very old. Me too I sent an email to developers - for other issue - without any response.

                  Do we need to find a better alternative?

                    @robi Maybe yes, but one of most interesting feature of Statping is to connect to Twilio and have an SMS notification. I think this is a good way to get notified not only on email but also on mobile.

                    Specially in case of total server failover, where also Cloudron cannot send email notifications.

                      @p44 for that use case you use an external service and if there is no twillio integration, you webhook to an app that does like slack or discord.

                      At that point SMS is a bit redundant if you get the webhook notifications for free.

                                  @p44 Take a look at https://github.com/cstate/cstate

                                  Netlify has an awesome infrastructure and it's free to use for something like this.

                                    @robi That's why I think should have more channels to get notified...

                                      @p44 Let me know when you figure out how well that works for you.

                                      I have previous experience where there is too much of such a thing and it wasn't intelligently tiered, as in when one form of notification fails, it escalates to the next, until one works.

                                        We've done some exploration and it seems the issues with configuration precedence and so has been fixed in the development version, so I assume it'll be all fixed in the next stable release.

                                              So the app is actively developing, but community PRs and issues are not being answered - in the interest of transparency and continued development, we're probably forking the codebase.

                                                @mario so is there a chance to have a new product? (in addition to the existing one)

                                                        @robi Hello @robi ! I find a solution and when something goes wrong, I'll receive one call and one sms.

                                                        I used:

                                                        • Integromat
                                                        • Twilio

                                                        Both with free plan 🙂

                                                        Script it was very simple: Http GET Request every 15 minutes my.domain.tld and if something goes wrong, create mobile call + create SMS.

                                                        Schermata 2021-01-27 alle 17.17.38.png

                                                        So now if something happens and I'm away from office or off-line, only with GSM, I can have a call. 🙂

                                                        What do you think?
