Hey everyone,
I have an unraid server and over the years I’ve gathered quite a lot of tools, some of which are now exposed to the net.
I’ve been mostly checking on my server every once in a while to see if things are healthy, but I would like a more central version to look into the health of my network, any issues from docker logs, etc.
Anyone got a good ui for that? (preferably deployed through docker)
Start off simple, use something like uptime-kuma just to check your services are available - takes minutes to set up and can send you notifications when something goes down. It can plug into docker directly to check if a container is up, as well as perform HTTP checks that the service is responding, plus some other cool stuff.
(Side note, I set up ntfy to handle notifications and it’s great! Another solid recommendation but you can use discord web hooks or whatever as well)
The other options described here are good for gathering and visualising data, but it takes quite a bit to set them up and even more to configure the right kinds of alerts to notify you when something is wrong. A simple “is this docker container running” check or a “does this respond with a http 200” check gets you like 95% the way there.
Uptime Kuma is sufficient in almost every scenario. If you don’t monitor the additional stats other tools provide they are basically useless anyway.
