Hi people!

I am in the process of setting up my selfhosted services and I would like to have a status monitor for them and for my websites. I really like Uptime Kuma, but right now I am not sure where should I host it. I do not want it on my VPS (for obvious reasons) and I do not have a spare old PC that I would run at home. At first I wanted to have it on a separate, very small VPS from my server provider but in different datacentre, but without a public IPv4 (only v6 are free) I’m not sure how I would expose it to the public (any tips?).

I would want to ask you for some recommendations for sites offering a hosting option for just this one thing, preferrably with a free tier(?). The docker container takes up only about 120-130MiB of RAM so even 1vCPU, 256MiB of RAM and a few hundred MiBs of storage would suffice. I don’t mind something with “sleep after a period of inactivity” type of thing, as I can just setup a cron job to ping the site. Or if you have some other way to have a FOSS status monitor hosted outside of my prod. server, I will appreciate every tip.

Thank you very much, hope you are having a good day :)

    I run it on oracle cloud always free tier, it’s the only service I run there. I just let it oing my subdomains every 2 minutes and send me notifications on telegram. But I don’t think that’s a solution for you, since you don’t want to use a vps

      I checked out the Free tier and I like it a lot, already created an instance and tested it a little, and I believe it’s more than enough for running Caddy and Uptime Kuma, so thank you very much for this :)

      I don’t have a problem with using a VPS, I just don’t want to pay for another one in addition to my current one just for this one small thing. Sorry if my wording was confusing, English is not my primary language.

      Thanks for the Oracle Cloud tip, I will definitely check it out. So far I tried fly.io but that has weird problems (I can only access the site from Safari on my mobile, from any other browser or device I can’t - even plain ping to the domain name returns service unavailable).
