Vantage
One application that watches a whole infrastructure fleet and then fixes what it finds, a button at a time.

Why one app?
A fleet accretes monitoring tools one incident at a time: an uptime checker, a dashboard for stats, a separate update scanner, a notification channel nobody remembers configuring. Each one is simple alone and a mess together, because nothing agrees on what a host even is.
Vantage runs uptime checks, evaluates alert rules, tracks pending updates and records incidents as one system with one source of truth, instead of four tools that each have to be trusted separately.
And then it does something about it. Urgent service, storage and backup problems land in Now. Lower-priority warnings and updates stay in a quieter digest. Related signals are grouped to reduce duplicate work. Press the button and Vantage previews the change, applies it, watches it, and confirms the thing is actually better before it clears the card. Identical problems across a dozen machines collapse into a single button.
Proven in production. Vantage runs against real infrastructure today, a live fleet, service checks, storage and backup monitoring around the clock, not a demo dataset.
Live. Vantage has been running in production since August 2026, and now replaces the retired Uptime Kuma and ntfy services in this homelab. Rebuilt from the interface down in September 2026 around one rule: every button either does the thing or tells you why it cannot.
A place for each kind of work
Now, Systems, Infrastructure, Software, History and Setup cover the fleet, with backup monitoring and recovery workflows integrated into the application. The Android companion adds phone access, setup by QR code, and alerts at home or away.
No dead buttons
A fix is planned before you ask, previewed if it is the kind of change that deserves a second look, then applied and verified. If Vantage cannot do it safely it says so plainly and hands you the command instead of failing quietly.
Phone alerts, with a separate watchdog
The Android companion receives normal alerts directly from Vantage. A separate watchdog can send a Google push notification if Vantage itself goes down. Remote repair actions require the appropriate permissions and are recorded in the action history.
Uptime, alerts, updates — one pane of glass.
Vantage takes the name literally: a single vantage point over a fleet, instead of a browser tab per tool. One place to see what is up, what is about to break, what is waiting to be patched, and one place to deal with all three.
