TeenyOps

External monitoring for your self-hosted stack. TeenyOps watches from outside your network so backups, cron jobs, OpenClaws, and other always-on services do not fail silently. Add one heartbeat and know when something stops reporting before you discover it the hard way. Set up within minutes. I self-host my stack and have for many years. Everything was "monitored" until I realized my monitoring had the same single point of failure as everything else. Two scenarios I kept running into: Homelab: I run Uptime Kuma on the same box it monitors. ISP drops, box loses power — Uptime Kuma goes offline too and doesn't know it. False 100% uptime. Zero alerts. Who's monitoring the monitor? OpenClaw: You deploy it as your personal AI assistant. The gateway hangs, Telegram replies stop, background jobs freeze. You find out hours later when you notice something feels off. There's no external signal that your assistant effectively disappeared. Same failure. Different surface. I built TeenyOps (teenyops.com) to fix this. You send a heartbeat ping from inside your setup to a hosted endpoint. If pings stop, TeenyOps opens an incident and alerts you from outside your infrastructure, so it works even when everything on your end is completely down. The part I'm proud of: the delivery ledger. Every other service logs that it sent the alert. With TeenyOps, you're not left wondering whether the alert actually went anywhere. That matters more than I expected. Every notification attempt is tracked end-to-end; provider called, confirmed accepted or confirmed failed, with automatic fallback to a second channel if the first one fails silently. For Telegram, that means confirmed delivery at the API level. For email, confirmed accepted by the mail server; still meaningfully better than "we tried." What it does: - Heartbeat monitors with configurable interval + grace window - Copy-paste setup (curl + cron or systemd timer), under 10 min to first signal - Delivery ledger per incident: attempt, outcome, and fallback chain all visible - Multi-channel fallback (Telegram → email) - Free tier: 1 monitor + email alerts - Paid: $9/mo for 10 monitors + full delivery ledger + fallback channels
