Apparently my internet was out for the last 20 minutes or so, and I’ve been browsing Lemmy, working on a doc in Nextcloud/OnlyOffice, and watching a movie on Jellyfin without even noticing.
I just happened to notice that the Matrix rooms I was in were all quiet.
To me this sounds like you’re missing another service to monitor your internet for uptime. I recommend Uptime-Kuma.
JK. Best part of the self hosted media server is I can usually get away with updating and rebooting the firewall while the wife is watching her shows and she’s never the wiser!
Oooohh…
I’ve got Uptime-Kuma internally for watching all my internal services and then I’ve got one running on a VPS that watches all the external services and public endpoints.
Such a great project and so easy to use…
Agreed, I was glad when they added maintenance windows because I can’t tell you the number of times I blew up my phone with notifications after rebooting a docker host and forgetting to stop the kuma instance.
There is a community Ansible module for the Uptime-Kuma API that I’ve been trying to get working so I can trigger the maintenance window when I run my playbook to update services but I haven’t quite figured it out yet.
I’m in the same boat though, I start updating containers and my slack channel blows up for like five minutes straight.
That’s a great idea I didn’t think to check into, I’ll have to see how difficult that is to implement. I’m still pretty new to ansible.
