  I’m guessing that it notifies you before the cert expires, because I already have a great notification system for the server not working: I’ll always get a text from a friend within minutes asking why it’s not working :P

  How do you get alerted from uptime Kuma if you can’t access the site though?

    I run uptime-kuma on a cheap VPS and have it ping my external ports on the home server. If the house loses internet I still get alerts.

    It has a built in alerting mechanism. Also

    Uptime Kuma is integrated Apprise which supports up to 78+ notification services.

      Right, I guess I meant if it necessarily requires internet access to notify, how does it send the notification when it can not reach the internet.

      I have uptime Kuma and use ntfy to alert myself for various things, but if I can’t access my server for any reason, the likelihood I’d be alerted first is very low.

        I’m not aware of a way for it to notify if the internet is down. An expired certificate would not create that failure scenario though.
