Description

When a server or API goes down at 3am, the difference between finding out from a customer and finding out from a monitor is a monitoring tool you actually trust to run reliably. Peekaping is built for teams who want that reliability without handing their infrastructure data to a third party.

Peekaping is an open-source, self-hosted monitoring platform built with a Go backend and React/TypeScript frontend, positioned as a more modern, typed alternative to Uptime Kuma. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, TCP, ping, DNS, Docker, gRPC, and SNMP monitors, database checks for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis, and over 20 alert channels including Slack, Telegram, Discord, and PagerDuty. It offers pluggable storage (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), public and private status pages with SVG badges, SSL certificate monitoring, MFA, and a documented REST API — all deployable via Docker Compose. The project is currently in beta with active development.

💬 Our review

The short version: Peekaping is a promising, modern take on self-hosted uptime monitoring, explicitly built to fix architectural rough edges in Uptime Kuma, but it's still in beta and younger than the tool it's positioned against.

Against Uptime Kuma, the most popular self-hosted monitor, Peekaping's pitch is a fully typed Go/React codebase, an API-first design, and pluggable storage instead of a single embedded database — real advantages for teams that want to integrate monitoring into other tooling. With about 1,200 GitHub stars, it has meaningfully less community traction than Uptime Kuma's tens of thousands, which means fewer community plugins, less battle-testing, and a beta label that should give production users pause. For a team comfortable running early-stage open-source software and wanting a cleaner architecture to build on, Peekaping is worth trying; anyone needing a proven, widely-deployed self-hosted monitor today should stick with Uptime Kuma until Peekaping reaches a stable release.
