Self‑hosted uptime monitor and status page powered by GitHub Actions
Self‑hosted uptime monitor and status page that runs entirely on GitHub Actions, Issues, and Pages—no extra servers, fully version‑controlled, and provides instant incident tracking.
Upptime turns GitHub Actions into a lightweight uptime monitor. Every five minutes (or on a custom schedule) a workflow pings each configured endpoint, records response time, and commits the data to the repository. When a check fails, an incident GitHub Issue is opened, comments can be added, and the issue closes automatically once the service recovers.
All configuration lives in a single YAML file in the repo, so changes are version‑controlled and auditable. Response‑time history is stored as git commits, enabling long‑term trend charts displayed on a status page built with Svelte and served via GitHub Pages. Optional Slack notifications keep teams informed, and the entire system requires no external servers—just a GitHub repository and Actions.
Developers, open‑source projects, and small‑to‑medium teams that already host code on GitHub can add reliable monitoring and a public status page with minimal effort and zero hosting cost.
When teams consider Upptime, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
