Run monitoring and incident response on a machine you own.
Self-hosted uptime monitoring, incident response and logs, for personal projects and small teams. When something breaks you hear it first, and every byte stays on your server.
One Docker image. No account, no card, no cloud.
Pull the plug. Watch it notice.
This is what your own Orion does, in seconds.
Built for people who run their own things.
From a home lab to a small team's production, Orion runs on the machine you choose.
Rules decide who hears what
Route by monitor, severity or server. The database goes to you, the blog to everyone.
No middleman
Alerts go from your machine straight to your webhook or inbox.
Logs beside your monitors
Send JSON or OpenTelemetry from any app and read it next to the incident. Stored on your disk.
Watches the whole setup
A NAS, a mini PC, the laptop on the shelf. If it runs Linux or macOS, the agent can watch it.
One person or a whole team.
The same install, whether it watches a side project or the systems your business depends on.
Watch what you run at home.
- One
docker compose, one SQLite file, no account. - Know when the NAS, the blog or the backup job quietly dies.
- A status page for the people who use your things.
Run it for the people who depend on you.
- Incidents with a timeline, a responder and acknowledgement.
- Alerts routed by rule to your team's webhook or email.
- A public status page on your own domain, with the history on your server.
Three steps to running your own.

Everything you need. Nothing you rent.
Monitoring, incidents, alerts, logs and status pages in one tool, so there is nothing to wire together.
Monitors. HTTP, TCP, heartbeats, server checks
Incidents. Opened, grouped, timed, resolved
Alerts. Webhook and email, retried and logged
Logs. JSON or OpenTelemetry, searchable
Server agent. Linux and macOS, containers too
Status pages. Optional, on your own domain
02:14, on your hardware.
Every step lands on the incident timeline: what failed, who was told, who acknowledged. Useful for a post-mortem, or when a customer asks what happened.
In the morning the timeline and the logs around it are already attached. Nothing left your machine except the message to you.
Questions about owning it.
Who runs it?
You do. On a VPS, a home server or any Linux or macOS machine with Docker. One image, one volume.
Is there a hosted version?
No. Orion is self-hosted by design, so your monitoring does not depend on someone else's uptime.
Can a business use it?
Yes. Route alerts to your team's webhook or email, publish a status page on your own domain, and keep the incident history on your own server.
Where is my data?
On that machine, in one SQLite file. Back it up with one command.
Do I need an account?
Not with us. You set an admin login on your own Core.
What if the project stops?
Your copy keeps running, and the data is a plain SQLite file you can open any time.
Can it watch my home network?
Yes. The agent reports to your Core over your LAN or a private network such as Tailscale. Nothing needs to be exposed to the internet.
How do I update it?
Pull the new image and recreate the services. Core copies the database before it migrates, so you can roll back.
What can it watch?
HTTP and TCP targets, cron heartbeats, and Linux or macOS servers, including their services and containers.
Can my apps send logs?
Yes. Post JSON with curl, or point any OpenTelemetry exporter at it. Add an ingest key per app.
Run your own.
Self-host Orion in about ten minutes. Your machine, your data.
