      Out of curiosity, what do you guys make use of to monitor your cloudron apps? I've been using UptimeRobot personally and the features you get for the price are fantastic, but I'm curious if there are better options out there. Mostly I am looking for push notifications or SMS notifications of outages. My email is also hosted on Cloudron so if it goes down I want to be able to know right away.

        @atrilahiji Zabbix on a cheap and separate VPS, not only for uptime but also for detailed stats in server performance.

          Since I manage multiple Cloudrons, I use Statping to monitor them. They also offer a nice app mobile app ^^

            @imc67 does zabbix require an agent to be installed on Cloudron? if so, any special instructions for doing so?

              @girish Yes zabbix requires the zabbix-agent to be installed and configured.

                @atrilahiji I use a mix of UptimeRobot for the actual monitoring (of course it's only an "up or down" and "response time" value, nothing about memory usage or anything like that for the app), and I found a fantastic free status page with a ton of functionality at www.instatus.com (the guy running that service has been exceptionally responsive to my feature requests / feedback too which I love).

                Monitoring tool: UptimeRobot
                Status page tool: InStatus

                Side topic... Using Webhooks notifications inside UptimeRobot to the InStatus service status page, the Webhooks allow for custom responses and component statuses too which is super nice. Of course nobody really checks my status page unless I sent out major maintenance notifications, lol, but I offer it anyways and find it a fun project to work on. Tip: Include your status page URL in the Cloudron custom maintenance page when apps are unavailable. The Status Page project make me feel (and possibly look) like a much bigger company than I really am. haha. My clients like it though, as they know I communicate through the Status Page whenever any maintenance is being done which impacts them at all.

                PS - I realize I went a little off-topic there with the status page component, but I am just really happy about the solution and want to also send some possible customers his way too, much like how I like to point customers to Cloudron when possible. 🙂

                  @girish yes, and without any problems on 4 Cloudrons. I got highly inspired by this: https://bestmonitoringtools.com/zabbix-agent-linux-install-on-ubuntu-centos-rhel-debian-rasbian/

                    Always used updown.io and it's been decent and very cheap with no monthly subscription and credits that seem to last forever, so never needed to look for anything else. Eg:

                    • status.brandlight.org
                    • status.healthshop.net

                    Statping's OK but the red-marks for a whole day when there's only been an out of hours reboot looks worse than things really are.

                    twilio.com or bulksms.com both good for cheap SMS if needed, although you'd think free Push notifications would be preferrable.

                    Just looked at Zabbix - that looks amazing! Are we getting that as an App? 😁 🙏

                        Haven't had the time (or need for my usecase) to migrate to something fancier. Still using PHP Server Monitor, even made an almost complete package. Since I don't need a public status page, this fulfills all my needs (it does ping, monitor certs, check for strings, mail and other services, even custom ports)

                          I am actually going to propose uptime-kuma as an app for cloudron. Its brand new.
                          Please check it out. https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma
                          Perhaps you can help package it please? It has a docker version.

                                  @jagan Np! Its not ideal since it's all sitting in /app/data but I think I can clean it up for a new release tomorrow.

                                      This looks like exactly what I've been looking for for a really long time! Thanks for bringing this over to Cloudron. 😃 I tried installing it via Cloudron CLI from my Mac and it's throwing an error when I run cloudron build. It's my first time installing a 3rd party app, so maybe I'm doing it totally wrong.

                                      I signed into my Cloudon instance in CLI, cloned the repo onto my computer, went into the directory, and typed cloudron build.

                                      I've made sure my Node instance is up to date (using Homebrew) and I also have Docker installed via Homebrew as well.

                                      Any help would greatly be appreciated!

                                          @mazarian just to provide some some other experience, I downloaded @atridad repo files, but I did not use cloudron build. I went "the long way".

                                          docker build -t <myrepo>/<appname>:<tag> .  
                                          docker push <myrepo>/<appname>:<tag>
                                          cloudron install --image <myrepo>/<appname>:<tag>
                                          

                                          NB the trailing dot on 1st line
                                          With this the build/install was seamless
                                          Kuma now working brilliantly and I have deleted my UptimeRobot account.

                                          thanks again @atridad

                                                I should have mentioned that I am a Mac user, and was doing this on a Mac Mini running Big Sur and Docker Desktop. Maybe too late to be helpful, sorry.

                                                      @mazarian said in Uptime Monitoring:

                                                      Building locally as git.atridad.dev/CTPR/cloudron-uptime-kuma-app:20210714-143642-23560f15f

                                                      I think this happenned because the docker repository was specified incorrectly when you did cloudron build. You can always cloudron build --set-repository again and it will ask you again for the repository name. The repo name should like girish/cloudron-uptime-kuma or something like that. The first part is your handle on docker hub (or equivalent). The second part is the repository name. In docker terminology, a repo is something that holds many images.
