A way to host Uptime Kuma (lemmy.world)

Hi people!

I am in the process of setting up my selfhosted services and I would like to have a status monitor for them and for my websites. I really like Uptime Kuma, but right now I am not sure where should I host it. I do not want it on my VPS (for obvious reasons) and I do not have a spare old PC that I would run at home. At first I wanted to have it on a separate, very small VPS from my server provider but in different datacentre, but without a public IPv4 (only v6 are free) I’m not sure how I would expose it to the public (any tips?).

I would want to ask you for some recommendations for sites offering a hosting option for just this one thing, preferrably with a free tier(?). The docker container takes up only about 120-130MiB of RAM so even 1vCPU, 256MiB of RAM and a few hundred MiBs of storage would suffice. I don’t mind something with “sleep after a period of inactivity” type of thing, as I can just setup a cron job to ping the site. Or if you have some other way to have a FOSS status monitor hosted outside of my prod. server, I will appreciate every tip.

Thank you very much, hope you are having a good day :)

You can point a Cloudflare proxy at an IPv6 address, and you'll then be able to access the website via IPv4.

I run it on oracle cloud always free tier, it's the only service I run there. I just let it oing my subdomains every 2 minutes and send me notifications on telegram. But I don't think that's a solution for you, since you don't want to use a vps

Free tier compute engine on GCP might be suitable for your use case: https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features#compute

Just remember that if you exceed the free tier limit, you'll get charged based on resource usage. Make sure to setup a billing alert you won't get surprise charge.
