     Info
    Deployed on AWS
    AWS Free Tier
    This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for security hardening, automated first-boot setup, security update configuration and support by Sers One Cloud. Uptime Kuma 2.5.6 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with nginx: uptime monitoring with status pages and alerts, ready in minutes behind a private setup gate.

    Overview

    Open image

    Launch your own monitoring server in minutes. Uptime Kuma 2.5.6 and nginx come installed and connected on a hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image, and every instance creates its own passwords on first boot.

    What you are paying for

    • Security hardening of the server and the application stack
    • Automated first-boot setup with unique passwords for each instance
    • A private setup gate that keeps the first-run screen closed until you finish
    • Automatic security update configuration
    • Email support from Sers One Cloud for the image

    About Uptime Kuma Uptime Kuma is a popular open source monitoring tool: it watches your websites and services (HTTP, TCP, ping, DNS and more), shows response times on a live dashboard, publishes status pages and sends alerts to more than 90 notification services. It is licensed under the MIT License.

    What is included

    • Uptime Kuma 2.5.6, built from the official release, commit-verified at build time
    • nginx front end with certbot for HTTPS
    • Node.js 24 runtime
    • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (x86_64), patched at build time

    Secure from the first boot

    • No default passwords: a one-time setup password is created on each instance
    • Private setup gate: the first-run screen stays closed until you create your own admin account
    • The gate cannot be removed before that account exists
    • SSH key login only; root and password login are disabled
    • Ubuntu security updates install automatically

    Get started

    1. Launch with your key pair and open ports 22, 80 and 443.
    2. Connect over SSH as "ubuntu" and run: sudo uptime-kuma-credentials show
    3. Open the server address, pass the setup gate and create your own admin account.
    4. Run: sudo uptime-kuma-setup-complete
    5. Add your monitors and notification channels; point your domain at the server and enable HTTPS with certbot.

    Recommended instance types t3.small is enough for most monitor sets; t3.medium for hundreds of monitors.

    Good to know

    • Single server: backups and high availability are yours to set up; the usage instructions show how to back up and restore.
    • No mail server is included; alerts go out through the notification services you configure (SMTP, chat tools and more).
    • HTTPS is enabled with certbot after your domain points to the server.
    • The Node.js runtime comes from the NodeSource package repository.
    • Application updates (Uptime Kuma releases) and OS release upgrades are the responsibility of the customer.

    Support Sers One Cloud helps with launching the image, the first boot, the setup gate and the included configuration: https://sersonecloud.com/#contact 

    Highlights

    • Launch in minutes: Uptime Kuma 2.5.6 and nginx come installed and connected on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Pass the setup gate, create your admin account and add your first monitor right away.

    Dimensions summary

    This listing offers one pricing dimension, billed under a contract. You pay for a single unit that covers the hardened Uptime Kuma monitoring image, including the setup gate and vendor support. Pricing is tied to the packaging and support, not to the open-source software, which keeps its own license. You commit for a fixed contract term, and the software charge appears on your cloud bill. The servers, storage, and data transfer you run are billed separately by your cloud provider. There are no additional tiers, sizes, or usage-based add-ons to choose from.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    The unit covers the packaging: the configured image, first-boot automation, the setup gate, helper commands, security update configuration, and email support. It does not cover the open-source application itself, which keeps its own license. Designing your site, custom development, add-ons, and data migration are also excluded.
    No. Charges for the servers, storage, and data transfer you run are billed separately by your cloud provider. The software charge from Sers One Cloud appears on the same bill as your infrastructure, but the two are priced independently and these infrastructure charges are not refunded by Sers One Cloud.
    Contracts can renew automatically. To stop future charges, turn off automatic renewal in your subscription settings before the renewal date. If the product is retired, Sers One Cloud keeps supporting existing subscribers for at least 90 days.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    Uptime Kuma 2.5.6 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with nginx: self-hosted uptime monitoring.

    BEFORE YOU LAUNCH

    • Use a key pair you hold; there is no default password.
    • t3.small or t3.medium, 20 GiB SSD. Security group: 22/tcp from your IP only, 80/tcp and 443/tcp open. No host firewall.

    FIRST SETUP

    1. Connect: ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
    2. Show your one-time setup password: sudo uptime-kuma-credentials show Note SETUP_PASSWORD.
    3. Open http://<public-ip>/ and sign in to the setup gate: user "setup", password SETUP_PASSWORD.
    4. In the first-run screen create YOUR admin account (username and password).
    5. Go live: sudo uptime-kuma-setup-complete Removes the gate and the one-time values; refuses until your admin account exists.
    6. HTTPS: point a DNS name at the instance, run sudo certbot --nginx -d <your-domain>
    7. Add monitors, status pages and notification channels in the dashboard. In Settings > Reverse Proxy turn on "Trust Proxy" so visitor addresses are logged correctly.

    SENSITIVE DATA

    • Everything lives in /opt/uptime-kuma/data (owner uptimekuma): the SQLite database kuma.db with your admin account, monitors, status pages and the credentials and tokens you enter for monitors and notification channels, plus uploads.
    • Until step 5: /etc/uptime-kuma/instance-credentials (root only).
    • Logs: sudo journalctl -u uptime-kuma and /var/log/nginx.
    • All data stays on your instance's volume.

    ENCRYPTION

    • At rest: enable volume encryption at launch (Configure storage > Advanced).
    • In transit: HTTP until step 6, then TLS (Let's Encrypt, renewed automatically). SSH is encrypted; the application listens only behind nginx on this server.

    CREDENTIAL ROTATION No secrets ship in the image. To change them:

    • Admin password: profile > Settings > Security.
    • Monitor and notification tokens: edit them in the dashboard.
    • SSH login key: replace yours in /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys.
    • TLS: test renewal with sudo certbot renew --dry-run

    BACKUP AND RESTORE Back up the data directory; keep copies off the instance, encrypted (e.g. object storage): sudo systemctl stop uptime-kuma sudo tar -czf kuma-data.tar.gz -C /opt/uptime-kuma data sudo systemctl start uptime-kuma Restore on a fresh instance: sudo systemctl stop uptime-kuma; sudo tar -xzf kuma-data.tar.gz -C /opt/uptime-kuma; sudo chown -R uptimekuma:uptimekuma /opt/uptime-kuma/data; sudo systemctl start uptime-kuma. Volume snapshots also work.

    HEALTH CHECK

    • Instance status checks pass; set an alarm on them.
    • sudo systemctl is-active uptime-kuma nginx (both "active")
    • curl -I http://localhost/  (200 after setup; 401 while the gate is on)
    • First-boot log: sudo journalctl -t uptime-kuma-firstboot

    UPDATES Ubuntu security updates install automatically; reboot when /var/run/reboot-required exists. The Node.js runtime comes from the NodeSource repository: update it with sudo apt-get install nodejs. Uptime Kuma itself: back up first, then follow the project's update guide.

    NOTIFICATIONS No mail server; outbound port 25 is blocked by default. Alerts go out through the services you configure in the dashboard (SMTP on port 587, chat tools, webhooks and more).

    SERVICE QUOTAS One instance (2 vCPUs of your account's standard-instance vCPU quota), one 20 GiB SSD volume, optional static IP. No increase needed; if a launch fails with a vCPU limit error, request a quota increase.

    COST Software charge: shown on the product page. Infrastructure (instance, volume, public IPv4, data transfer, snapshots) is billed separately. Each additional instance adds these charges again.
