I just use Docker Compose with explicit port mappings and a .env file for the base port. If my provider changes the range I change one variable and redeploy. Not fancy but I am not fancy either.

services:
  nginx:
    ports:
      - "${BASE}:80"
      - "${BASE_SSL}:443"

BASE=30000,...

Leaseweb's dedicated is real but their support is a black hole. Six hours to acknowledge a dead drive. Trade-offs everywhere.

What about rate limiting? If I have 200 peers and they all poll me every 5 minutes, that's 2400 requests/hour. Trivial for nginx, but what if someone sets interval to 10 seconds?

Following this thread because I'm about to set up monitoring for a side project.

Quick question: does Uptime Kuma do SSL expiry alerts? That's what bit me last time, cert expired and I didn't notice for 6 hours.

I use Vultr for my side projects. Not lifetime, just monthly. $6 plan. Never had an issue but I also never keep anything there I cannot rebuild in an hour.

You really chased payments for 25% of your week?

I had same issue with Vultr's "frankfurt equivalent". Never again.

This.
