Homepage sat dead for three days in September while every monitoring tool
reported correctly. Beszel said its host was up -- it was. Uptime Kuma was not
watching it. The dashboard fell into the seam between two working instruments.
Measured before changing anything:
- Beszel: 18 hosts x {Status, CPU, Memory, Disk, Temperature}. Its alerts
table is (system, name, value, min) -- there is NO url column, so it is
structurally incapable of "this endpoint should return 200". Not a config
gap; the data model.
- Uptime Kuma: 6 rows, 2 of them folders. Four real monitors, all firewalls.
- So the two are NOT redundant. They are disjoint, and the service layer
between them was empty.
REBUILT FROM SCRATCH, operator-authorised ("uptime-kuma was never really
used... you can even dump the existing container and config"). Nothing was
migrated, which also skipped the one-way v1->v2 database migration.
- Pinned to 2.5.5. `:latest` is a documented trap now: upstream keeps it on
the 1.x line, so an August 2026 pull produced an image BUILT 2024-12-20
running 1.23.16. Verified by digest -- latest and 1 share one digest while
2/next carry 2.5.5. Pinned exactly, not floating on 2, for the same reason.
- Moved esh-docker-vm -> ana-docker. House placement rule puts cross-site
services beside the Beszel and Dozzle hubs, and esh-docker-vm has wedged
unkillably twice in four months. A monitor also cannot report the failure
of the host it runs on, so it should not share a failure domain with the
host layer.
- Normalised restart: always -> unless-stopped, which the 2026-08-18 README
flagged as worth doing on the next deliberate touch.
- UPTIME_KUMA_DB_TYPE=sqlite in the compose skips 2.x's interactive database
screen, so the stack comes up ready rather than parked on a form.
scripts/kuma is a first-party Socket.IO client, because both obvious paths are
wrong: there is no REST CRUD API in EITHER major version (server/routers/ holds
exactly two files, /metrics + badges + status pages), and the community wrapper
uptime-kuma-api is abandoned -- last release 2023-09-26, ceiling 1.23.1, no 2.x
support ever.
⚠ getMonitorList's callback returns only {ok:true}; the list arrives as a
SEPARATE pushed monitorList event. Reading the ack yields an empty board that
looks authoritative -- which duplicated all 13 rows on the first re-seed
before the bug was found. The client now waits for the push, and carries a
dedupe verb because of it.
13 monitors seeded from monitors.yaml, keyed on name so a re-run updates rather
than forking the board -- proven by re-running it (0 added, 13 updated), not
assumed. Every URL was probed before being written: all 200. A board that ships
red teaches everyone to ignore it.
Verified: 13 rows, no duplicates, all UP with "200 - OK" read from the database
WITH its WAL (a first read of kuma.db alone showed a stale 26 -- the copy
predated the deletes). Homepage renders exactly one Uptime Kuma card.
⚠ NOT YET WIRED: notification delivery. The board detects but tells nobody,
which is the same gap this work exists to close. The beszel-althing bridge
hardcodes a [Beszel] subject prefix and hub footer, so routing Kuma through it
unchanged would mislabel the alerts. Needs a decision before it is generalised.

"""kuma — a first-party Socket.IO client for Uptime Kuma 2.x.
|
|
|
|
WHY THIS EXISTS, since the obvious answers are both wrong:
|
|
|
|
* There is NO REST CRUD API for monitors, in either major version. Checked
|
|
against the 2.5.5 source tree, not the docs: `server/routers/` holds exactly
|
|
two files -- api-router.js (Prometheus /metrics, badges, entry page) and
|
|
status-page-router.js. API keys unlock /metrics and badges only. Every
|
|
monitor operation lives on Socket.IO, the same channel the web UI uses.
|
|
|
|
* The community wrapper `uptime-kuma-api` is ABANDONED -- last release
|
|
2023-09-26 -- and its stated ceiling is "support for uptime kuma 1.23.0 and
|
|
1.23.1". It does not speak 2.x and never will. Depending on it would trade a
|
|
maintained server for an unmaintained client.
|
|
|
|
So: a thin client of our own, against events read out of server.js at tag 2.5.5
|
|
(`setup`, `login`, `getMonitorList`, `add`, `editMonitor`, `deleteMonitor`).
|
|
Small on purpose -- this is four events and a socket, not a framework.
|
|
|
|
USAGE
|
|
scripts/kuma setup # create the admin (first run only)
|
|
scripts/kuma list # every monitor, with its state
|
|
scripts/kuma seed <file.yaml> # idempotent upsert from a file
|
|
scripts/kuma add <name> <url> [--type http|ping|port] [--port N]
|
|
|
|
CREDENTIALS come from the vault, never from a flag:
|
|
secret get ana-docker/.config/uptime-kuma/admin
|
|
Password on the command line lands in shell history and in the process table.
