Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Kener.

  • Uptime Kuma

    A self-hosted uptime monitor that pings your sites and services and tells you the moment one stops answering.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinuxWebSelf-hosted

    Uptime Kuma pairs broad HTTP, TCP, DNS and Docker checks with over ninety notification services and public status pages, but has no high-availability mode.

  • gatus

    Developer-oriented health dashboard with alerting, configured from a YAML file.

    FreeOpen sourceLinuxSelf-hostedWeb

    Gatus declares health checks and alerting in one YAML file with conditions on responses, but has no editing interface, so changes mean redeploying config.

  • Upptime

    Use GitHub Actions and GitHub Pages to run an uptime monitor and status site.

    FreeOpen sourceWebSelf-hosted

    Upptime runs checks through GitHub Actions and publishes to GitHub Pages, removing the need for your own server but depending on GitHub limits.

  • Statusnook

    Monitor endpoints and publish their status from a self-hosted application.

    FreeOpen sourceSelf-hosted

    Statusnook combines endpoint checks with a public status page in a deployment-focused setup, but needs a server that stays up during outages.

  • Vigil

    Monitor services and publish their availability through a self-hosted status page.

    FreeOpen sourceSelf-hosted

    Vigil monitors services and publishes a self-hosted status page with incident notifications, licensed MPL-2.0 instead of MIT.

  • Peekaping

    Self-hosted uptime monitor with status pages and alert notifications.

    FreeOpen sourceLinuxSelf-hostedWeb

    Peekaping offers uptime checks, status pages and notifications on a lighter Go and React stack, but is a young project with fewer integrations.

  • Cachet

    Self-hosted status page for publishing service health and incidents.

    FreeOpen sourceLinuxSelf-hostedWeb

    Cachet manages components, incidents, maintenance and subscriber notifications, but has no built-in checks and needs PHP 8.3, Composer and a database.

  • cState

    Publish a service status page generated as a static website.

    FreeOpen sourceSelf-hostedWeb

    cState builds a static Hugo status site with incidents kept in files, but automatic health checking requires a separate monitoring integration.

Also worth comparing

These listings name Kener as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.

  • Tianji

    Combine website analytics, uptime checks and server-status monitoring.

    FreeOpen sourceSelf-hosted

    Kener combines monitoring with public status displays and incident communication under MIT, but does not include website analytics or server-status monitoring.
