What are my options for getting alerts on my android phone if services on my VPS becoming unresponsive?

My first thought is a simple app that periodically pings domains and gives a notification if any fail. Is there an open source app for that?

Or something else?

    Uptime Kuma has a number of notification options.

    I just had to set one up because the Oracle free tier is hot garbage and needs resetting every day or two.

      I use uptime Kuma with signal-cli for notifications - it’s been rock solid. I also have another uptime kuma instance that uses email as notification option to monitor my primary uptime kuma and the signal-cli.

    I have no VPS but a home server and Uptime Kuma can’t help me if it’s down. So I just set up healthchecks.io + Pushover via a cron job that runs on the server and I can confirm that it works! Tested yesterday after a citywide blackout 😵‍💫
