Uptime Kuma is a free open-source uptime monitoring tool. This guide will show you how to easily deploy Uptime Kuma on Northflank using their public Docker image and a volume to store uptime history across restarts.

1. Create a new deployment service with the following configuration:

   1. External image with the path louislam/uptime-kuma:latest.

   2. Under networking, for port 3001 (HTTP), make sure to tick “Publicly expose this port to the internet”.

   3. Under advanced, add a new volume with the container mount path /app/data.

   • Choose the storage size according to your needs, it can be increased later if your storage needs change.

     

2. Wait for the Uptime Kuma instance to start up and open the web interface by clicking on the link in the top right corner of your service.

3. On the initial Uptime Kuma page, you will be asked to create an account. Once you have created an account, you will be able to start creating monitors to monitor the uptime of your applications.
