Looking for a small, cheap VPS just for Uptime Kuma. 1 core, a couple of GB of RAM

Like the title suggests this is only to host Uptime Kuma to uptime-monitor all my stuff (then I use updown.io to ensure that Uptime Kuma itself is running).

Can you recommend a super cheap VPS for this? I think a core and a couple of GBs should be enough (if you use Uptime Kuma and disagree please let me know), and it doesn't need much storage.

Thanks!

  • Those specs should be fine depending on the number of items within UptimeKuma. I have a couple instances deployed and use https://hetrixtools.com/ to monitor them.

    ExtraVM's public status page/monitoring running UptimeKuma uses 400MB RAM and maybe 5% of a single CPU core max. It's very efficient, you don't need much.

  • Thanks for confirming. Which VPS would you suggest?

    Hi,

    You can check our VPS Plans:

  • Could try fly.io's free plan as well, it's more than enough to run Uptime Kuma.

    @vitobotta check my signature for deals under $15/year (some link are aff).
    Any VPS in that range will run uptime kuma easily.

    Heck, I've even ran it once a Racknerd VPS with just 768MB of RAM, tho 1GB would be my recommendation.

  • Racknerds 768MB yearly plan?

    Heard good thing about them!

  • Thanks everyone, I went with PikaPods. I was up and running in literally one minute. Special tahnks to @Dazzle - this was the esiest by far.

    Don't need to set up a VPS with fly either, and it's free :)

    I have used fly.io before but pika pods was much quicker for this, since all I had to do was select the app (Uptime Kuma) and deploy. Fly is also more expensive.

  • @vitobotta said: Fly is also more expensive.

    For running just kuma, its free.

    Free allowance:
    Up to 3 shared-cpu-1x 256mb VMs†
    3GB persistent volume storage (total)
    160GB outbound data transfer

    I had forgotten they had a free allowance. Bummer... I have bought some credit with PikaPods already. I will check it again when this credit expires.
