Integrate with Uptime Kuma - Authentik

What is Uptime Kuma

Uptime Kuma is an easy-to-use self-hosted monitoring tool.

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

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 are used in this guide:

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

:::info This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application. :::

authentik configuration

To support the integration of Uptime Kuma with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider in authentik

Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
Navigate to Applications > Applications and click Create with Provider to create an application and provider pair. (Alternatively you can first create a provider separately, then create the application and connect it with the provider.)

Application: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings.
Choose a Provider type: select Proxy Provider as the provider type.
Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
- Set the External host to https://uptime-kuma.company.
- Set the Internal host to http://uptime-kuma:3001 where uptime-kuma:3001 is the hostname and port of your Uptime Kuma container.
- Under Advanced protocol settings, set Unauthenticated Paths to the following to allow unauthenticated access to the public status page:
```
^/status/.*
^/assets/.*
^/api/push/.*
^/api/badge/.*
^/api/status-page/heartbeat/.*
^/icon.svg
^/upload/.*
```
  For more granular access, you can analyze requests from your status page(s) and update the following regex rules accordingly:
```
^/status/<slug>$
^/assets/.*
^/api/push/.*
^/api/badge/.*
^/api/status-page/heartbeat/<slug>$
^/upload/<file>$
```
Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's My applications page.

Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Uptime Kuma configuration

Disable auth in Uptime Kuma by going 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.
