What is Uptime Kuma?

Uptime Kuma is a free and open source, self-hosted monitoring tool created by developer Louis Lam and maintained by an active community, with over 89,000 stars on GitHub. It monitors HTTP(S) endpoints, keywords on webpages, TCP ports, DNS records, Docker containers, and databases such as MySQL, and presents results through a fast, reactive web interface with dark mode support.
