Meerkat vs Uptime Kuma
Uptime Kuma is an excellent, very popular uptime monitor with many check types, 90+ notification providers and beautiful public status pages.
Meerkat adds
- Host health (CPU, memory, disk, temperature) next to your checks
- Docker lifecycle events and intent-aware auto-heal
- Ethernet/Wi-Fi failover and default-route awareness
- “Since your last visit” and problems with fix-it buttons
- Two-way Telegram commands
Choose Uptime Kuma if…
You mainly need many kinds of endpoint checks and a public status page.
Choose Meerkat if…
You run a Docker homelab and want one calm place that tells you what broke on the box itself, and helps you fix it.
Or run both
Run both: point an Uptime Kuma push monitor at Meerkat's heartbeat to know when the whole host goes down.
See the difference in 30 seconds.
The live demo runs the real Meerkat dashboard with a simulated homelab: a power cut last night, a healed container and a site that is down right now.
