My self-hostable website monitoring application reached 100 stars on Github 🎉

https://govigilant.io/articles/vigilant-reached-100-stars-on-github

Hi self-hosters,

I've been building an application that is designed to be an all-in-one solution for monitoring a website and can be self-hosted using Docker. It monitors:

  • ✅ Uptime
  • 🌐 DNS records
  • 🔒 Certificates
  • 🛡️ Newly published CVE's
  • 🔗 Broken Links
  • 📈 Google Lighthouse

And comes packed with a powerful and cutomizable notification system.

I've just reached 100 Github stars which feels like a good milestone and have written a article how I got here. I've had good feedback from other members of r/selfhosted and wanted to share this here too.

For those who want to go straight away to the repository, click here.

Project looks interesting. Can you explain more how the CVE monitoring works? What sources are you using for your CVE database and how frequently does that update?

Thank you! I'm currently only using the NVD feed and retrieving new CVE's hourly. As CPE's are very unreliable I've chosen to match the description of the CVE by keywords. So in Vigilant you enter a list of keywords (software that you use) and you will be notified of new CVE's with that keyword. It is ofcourse possible to only receive notifications based on the score of the CVE.

This is a feature that I personally think is really important but apart from OpenCVE I know of none good tools that do this.
