Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Set up Uptime Kuma on the VPS to monitor services there. Uptime Kuma can send you a notification if any of them become unresponsive.
Then use Healthchecks.io to monitor the VPS itself and Uptime Kuma.
You can set up to 20 monitors on the free tier with healthchecks.io.
Its a push monitor, so if the VPS/Uptime Kuma doesnt reach out to say its alive within the designated time interval you'll get a notification, like a sort of dead man switch.
Theres a load of notification options for both healthchecks and Uptime Kuma including email, discord, ntfy, etc, etc.
This way you have no need for a seperate self hosted server, and you get healthchecks on yo healthchecks.
