"Oneuptime will work in just about any situation."

4.5/5

What do you like best about OneUptime?

I was tired of paying for UptimeRobot, as their yearly payment was still too much as I used it purely for monitoring my homelab (using the heartbeat). Since OneUptime is Open Source Software, I worked with the community to introduce heartbeat checks into OneUptime, and made them free as part of their OSS and Hosted model. Their customer support is a little tricky as a homelabber I often do not use Slack to communicate with others. I find myself using Github Discussions or Discord. Still, any question asked is often answered within a day. As of writing this, they are just now finalizing their helm-chart to make deploying OneUptime locally to your own Kubernetes Cluster easier.

What do you dislike about OneUptime?

OneUptime has a lot of moving parts. If you have an issue hosting it yourself, you may find yourself delving into the configurations of other people or the code to try and see why it's not working. This is usually not a problem for most people, but if you're hosting this yourself you might want some experience to back yourself up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OneUptime solving and how is that benefiting you?

OneUptime solves the issue of having to check to see if your site is reachable. It can check everything from ensuring a transit proxy is reachable to ensuring a port is accepting connections. As a homelabber, I want to make sure that my Cloudflare tunnels are constantly open and reaching my internal nginx service. OneUptime also ensures that my NAS and Kubernetes clusters are still alive by ensuring that they send a heartbeat every x seconds/minutes and notifies me if they don't.
