Uptime Kuma for Laravel Forge using Traefik for routing

Uptime Kuma is an easy-to-use self-hosted monitoring tool.

See the Uptime Kuma GitHub repo for more information on the tool itself.

Here is a link to the Traefik repo used in conjunction with this repo:

An accompanying blog post

There is a related blog post I wrote about using Traefik and Plausible Analytics on Laravel Forge. Reading that post will help you understand how this repo functions. Analytics a different way. Plausible Analytics on Laravel Forge with Traefik and Docker.

About this repo

The docker-compose.yml file in this repo is based on the the Uptime Kuma Docker Compose example with a few changes to make it work with Laravel Forge and Traefik.

Laravel Forge preparation

The repo assumes you have Docker installed already. See the johnfmorton/traefik-for-laravel-forge repo for more information.

DNS setup

You will need to set up DNS to point your domain name with an A record to your server you've created with Laravel Forge. For example, uptime-kuma.yourdomain.com should point to your server's IP address.

Setting up the .env file

In the .env file, set URL_FOR_TRAEFIK to this domain name. For example, uptime-kuma.yourdomain.com. Don't include the protocol (http or https) or a trailing slash.

Use the example.env for reference in setting up the additional environmental variables.

Laravel Forge Deployment script

Here is a basic version of the deployment script.

cd /home/forge/analytics

git pull origin $FORGE_SITE_BRANCH

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f reverse-proxy/traefik/docker-compose.traefik.yml up -d --remove-orphans

For a more complete version of the deployment script, see the forge-deployment-script.sh file in this repo.
