Cheap, DDoS-protected VPS for uptime monitoring

VoltrinaVoltrina Member
edited February 10 in Requests

Looking for a small and reasonably priced VPS for hosting a status page and monitoring uptime of services (e.g. Uptime Kuma) for a privacy and freedom-of-speech related project that attracts quite a bit of attacks. I'm kinda worried that potential attackers will also target the status page lol.

Requirements:
1 vCPU
1GB RAM
10GB SSD
DDoS Protection
Location: Europe or east coast US
Price: €30/year (not a hard limit, can be higher)

    Keep the status page on a separate domain and make no mention of it

    The OVH starter VPs is like £0.81 a month and will do for this

    1 vCore
    2GB RAM
    20gb SATA SSD

    Select “Starter” from OVH VPS page

    What about services like UptimeRobot, cloudns, Alerts.net ?

    I don't think protection that's used for servers will help, people are still able to overload your server

    Just put it behind cloudflare and keep it a secret, and get a cheap NAT VPS

    Or use hetrix like a normal person

    Tutorial?

    1. Install flyctl: https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/install/

    2. Create fly.toml (it uses sqlite, you can remove mounts if you want to use remote mysql/mariadb)

    app = 'uptime-kuma-something'
primary_region = 'sin'
kill_signal = 'SIGINT'
kill_timeout = '5s'

[build]
  image = 'louislam/uptime-kuma:beta-slim'

[[mounts]]
  source = 'kuma_data'
  destination = '/app/data'

[[services]]
  protocol = 'tcp'
  internal_port = 3001
  auto_stop_machines = 'stop'
  auto_start_machines = true
  min_machines_running = 1
  processes = ['app']

  [[services.ports]]
    port = 80
    handlers = ['http']
    force_https = true

  [[services.ports]]
    port = 443
    handlers = ['tls', 'http']

  [services.concurrency]
    type = 'connections'
    hard_limit = 25
    soft_limit = 20

  [[services.tcp_checks]]
    interval = '15s'
    timeout = '2s'
    grace_period = '1s'

[[vm]]
  memory = '256mb'
  cpu_kind = 'shared'
  cpus = 1
    1. Inside directory with fly.toml, run command flyctl launch

    For region (above config use singapore), check https://fly.io/docs/reference/regions

    Based on my tests, it will crash because of out of memory if you have a lot of monitors. Tested on 46 monitors, and crashed after 1 day with 30s interval. My fly.io is on legacy hobby plan, it has 3 free 256MB VM. Haven't tested with swap, maybe it wont crash.

    https://fly.io/docs/reference/configuration/#swap_size_mb-option

    For alternative, you can use Koyeb, it has 1 free VM with 512MB memory. And you can combine with free MySQL from Aiven.

    OP might want to test this.

    I'm expecting Layer 4 attacks, as well as HTTP floods (which i will be mitigating myself via nginx ratelimiting and fail2ban). I don't have particularly high requirements, only basic protection from script kiddie booters.

    I think fly.io no longer has free plans: https://fly.io/docs/about/billing/#free-resource-allowances

    Fly.io on legacy hobby account still has 3 free VM.

    Yes, but only for old users. That's a pretty important detail.

    I did say mine is on legacy hobby plan with 3 free VMs. So. That's why I said to use Koyeb with free 1 VM with more memory.

  • rskrsk Member, Patron Provider

    I am a full advocate for opensource projects, specially uptime kuma. However, I have personally found it not as reliable tbh, specially since it doesn't check/probe from multiple locations. If uptimerobot's free plan works for you, https://uptimerobot.com/pricing/ it is a great alternative, and includes a basic status page.

    Just go for HetrixTools and don't look back.

    Use UptimeFlare for free. Open source plus CF, a best defensive combination.
