G’day all,

I’ve come to realize my shotgun approach to updating whenever it’s convenient isn’t really working. To that end, I’ve deployed an instance of Uptime Kuma, a free and open source uptime monitor, which you can access at status.apollo.town.

I’ll add a maintenance window here if we’re going down for updates, as well as I’ve added a few other major instances so if you’re getting federation problems, you can check if they’re reachable by this server. Finally, it also monitors Lemmy source so if my Docker fails to build or something, maybe they changed the image name, etc.

As always, hit me up on Mastodon if you have any questions, or email me at admin at apollo.town. Please let me know if you have any other major instances you’d like monitored and I’ll see about adding them.

Cheers!

-Nico
