About

Hello! Brandon Lee. I help to educate people about technology, explaining very complex topics simply. You will find all types of technology topics covered here such as Cloud, Enterprise virtualization, Kubernetes, Containers, Networking, Home lab environments, and just all around nerd stuff!

Video Description

In my quest to test many different open-source monitoring solutions in the home lab this year, I want to take you guys through a new solution I am working with - Uptime Kuma. It is a self-described fancy uptime monitor with beautiful dashboards to display reachability and uptime of critical services. You can create easy status pages for groups of services and style these as you need. With Uptime Kuma you can monitor services, applications, hosts, databases, and many other types of connections.
