  • I’ve set up Uptime Kuma this weekend, monitoring everything from Docker containers, network devices (like IPcams, switches, printers, …), wireguard tunnels, etc etc. (I have 65 monitors set up so far) and a Signal rest api for notifications.

    Furthermore, I integrated multiple new ESPHome switches into my Home Assistant setup for cable model reset, alarm system controller reset, etc.

    Once I have Uptime Kuma finetuned I will automated som resets.

    Uptime Kuma is amazing so far.




    • Headscale is essentially a self-hosted, open-source alternative to Tailscale’s control server, enabling creation of a private WireGuard-based mesh VPN network. It lets you use Tailscale clients while running your own control server, focusing on secure device-to-device connections without exposing open ports. It requires a server with a public IP for the control server but does not natively manage reverse proxy or authentication for web services.

    • Pangolin is a more complete self-hosted solution built on WireGuard and Traefik, combining VPN tunneling with a modular reverse proxy and authentication management. It provides centralized management with role-based access control, 2-factor authentication, automated SSL via Let’s Encrypt, and can expose multiple private networks or services through secure tunnels without needing to open firewall ports. It includes a web UI and plugins for security features like WAF, API, and OAuth2/OIDC identity providers.
