OVHcloud is French, but servers in Beauharnois fall under Canadian jurisdiction. Data stays, law follows location. Read their DPA.
How do you monitor a $2/month box without spending more on monitoring?

Neuland. Aber schnell.
Gravelines, not Beauharnois. My data stays in Hauts-de-France.
Back to actual monitoring. I run UptimeRobot + self-hosted cachet on same box. Cachet shows status page to users, UptimeRobot wakes me. Redundancy in alerting, not in cost.
Cachet is abandoned. Last commit 2 years ago. I tried it, PHP dependencies rotted. Use statping or uptime-kuma if you want self-hosted status page.
Uptime-Kuma is good. Docker one-liner. But now you are monitoring Docker health, which needs monitoring. Turtles all the way down.
