Anyway, the TL;DR is: Create an endpoint, and if your script/cronjob fails to regularly ping it, you get notified (by email or ntfy). E.g.:
It also has an SSH TUI which is currently experimental and read-only, mostly because I'm not sure whether it is actually useful or just a gimmick :): To use it, simply add your SSH public key in your account settings.Yes, there are services like this already, and this is minimalistic by comparison. Feedback is welcome.
i have something similar at https://heartbeats.dorianmarie.com/
If you need/want a dashboard it's kinda cool. There's a lot of other options that will do something similar, but not via SSH. Crontab can email you directly, no need for a service.
You could also just use systemd timers and do: systemctl --failed -t service
I'm myself very happy with https://healthchecks.io/ for this purpose.
I'll never understand commenting to show HNs with a link to competing products.
