Deploy and Host Uptime Kuma on Railway

What is Uptime Kuma?

Uptime Kuma is a self-hosted, open-source monitoring tool that lets you track the uptime, response time, and health of your websites, APIs, and services. It provides a clean dashboard, flexible alerting, and supports multiple monitoring protocols without locking you into a third-party SaaS.

About Hosting Uptime Kuma

Hosting Uptime Kuma involves running a lightweight Node.js service that continuously checks your endpoints and stores status data. You need a persistent service runtime, stable networking, and optional storage for configuration and historical data. Once deployed, Uptime Kuma runs autonomously, performing periodic health checks and sending alerts when thresholds are breached. The main operational concerns are uptime of the monitor itself, scaling for many checks, and ensuring alert delivery via your chosen notification channels.

Common Use Cases

Monitoring website uptime and latency for production and staging environments
Tracking API availability and response times for internal or public services
Alerting teams when background jobs, cron services, or microservices go down

Dependencies for Uptime Kuma Hosting

Node.js runtime (bundled with the Uptime Kuma image)
Persistent storage for configuration and monitoring history

Deployment Dependencies

Uptime Kuma GitHub repository: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma
Railway platform: https://railway.app

Implementation Details (Optional)

Uptime Kuma is commonly deployed using Docker. A minimal setup requires exposing port 3001 and attaching persistent storage for the data directory. Environment configuration is minimal, as most settings are managed through the web UI after deployment.
