Purpose:

The purpose of this guide is to help you download and install Uptime-Kuma 2.0 beta. Uptime-Kuma is used to do monitoring via Pings, Https, TCP ports, and more! I personally use Uptime-Kuma to monitor my website, ping my Proxmox cluster, and monitor DNS providers.

Uptime-Kuma also includes a handy status page.
