## What is Uptime Kuma

From https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma

:::note
It is a self-hosted monitoring tool like "Uptime Robot".

Uptime Kuma currently supports only a single user and no native SSO solution. To still use authentik, you can work with the Proxy Outpost and a Proxy Provider.

## Preparation

The following placeholders will be used:

- `uptime-kuma.company` is the FQDN of the Uptime Kuma install.
- `authentik.company` is the FQDN of the authentik install.

Create an application in authentik. Create a Proxy provider with the following parameters:

- Internal host

  If Uptime Kuma is running in docker, and you're deploying the authentik proxy on the same host, set the value to `http://uptime-kuma:3001`, where uptime-kuma is the name of your container.
  
  If Uptime Kuma is running on a different server to where you are deploying the authentik proxy, set the value to `http://<Other Host>:3001`.

- External host

  `https://uptime-kuma.company`  
  Set this to the external URL you will be accessing Uptime Kuma from.

- Skip path regex

  Add the following regex rules to keep the public status page accessible without authentication.
  ```
  ^/$
  ^/status
  ^/assets/
  ^/assets
  ^/icon.svg
  ^/api/.*
  ^/upload/.*
  ^/metrics
  ```

To avoid that all users get admin access to Uptime Kuma create a group in authentik for the admin user. Next set in authentik for the application under `Policy / Group / User Bindings` a group binding with the group created above.

## Uptime Kuma

Disble auth from Uptime Kuma, go to `Settings` > `Advanced` > `Disable Auth`

To access the dashboard, open `https://uptime-kuma.company/dashboard`, this will start the login with authentik. You can also set this address as the Launch URL for the application.
