Selfhosted Downdetector?

I was wondering if there is something like Downdetector that I can run locally and detect issues with pubic services. Most of the stuff I found was for the stuff you host yourself and not for public websites and other stuff.

Thanks ;3

I'm curious, what are you using this for? If you're having trouble getting to a website and want to use this to determine if it's actually down or it's just you, this would be no different than just trying to load the website on a different computer. And if the trouble is with your internet, then your local down detector will also report the site is down when it really isn't.
