This repository contains Terraform configurations to deploy a virtual machine instance running Uptime Kuma, a self-hosted monitoring tool, on any cloud provider. The deployment script also installs Docker and runs the Uptime Kuma Docker container.
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as a code software tool created by HashiCorp. It allows users to define and provision datacenter infrastructure using a high-level configuration language known as HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), or optionally JSON. Terraform manages external resources (such as public cloud infrastructure, private cloud infrastructure, network appliances, and software as a service) with a "provider" model, supporting multiple providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and others.
