This tutorial will cover creating an Uptime Kuma server using a Docker Container. Uptime Kuma is a monitoring software meant to create simplistic dashboards that track the uptime of websites, servers, or anything that can be pinged.

• Assumptions
  • You have an Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04 virtual/physical machine made.
  • The machine is up to date (apt-get update AND apt-get upgrade)
• Install Docker
  • sudo apt-get install docker.io
  • You can check the installation by doing “sudo docker ps” and seeing if it outputs an error or not
• Create an Uptime Kuma Docker volume
  • docker volume create uptime-kuma
• Run the docker container
  • docker run -d –restart=always -p 3001:3001 -v uptime-kuma:/app/data –name uptime-kuma louislam/uptime-kuma:1
• Connect to the interface and create a user account
  • The default web interface port is 3001 so you can navigate to the web GUI by entering IP_ADDRESS:3001 in your web browser.
