How to Update Uptime Kuma Using xCloud Command Runner

Uptime Kuma is a self-hosted monitoring tool that lets you track the uptime of your websites and services. If you have deployed Uptime Kuma on xCloud, you can easily update it to the latest version using the built-in Command Runner. Follow the steps below to update your Uptime Kuma instance.

Step 1: Find Your PM2 Process Name

Go to your Uptime Kuma site in xCloud. Click the Commands tab. Click Run Custom Command. Run this command:

Copy

pm2 list

Look at the name column in the output. It will look something like:

uptime-kuma-demodomain.com

Copy that name, you’ll need it in Step 2.

Step 2: Run the Update

In the same Command Runner, paste the following — replacing with your site folder name and with the name you copied in Step 1:

Copy

cd /var/www/<domain>

git pull origin master

export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"

npm install

npm run build

pm2 restart <pm2-process-name>

pm2 save

Example

If your domain folder is uptimekuma-demodomain.com and your PM2 process name is uptime-kuma-demodomain.com:

cd /var/www/demodomain.com

git pull origin master

export NODE_OPTIONS=”–max-old-space-size=4096″

npm install

npm run build

pm2 restart uptime-kuma-demodomain.com

pm2 save

Notes

• Run the command as the site user (the Command Runner defaults to this).
• npm run build may take a few minutes – this is normal.
• After pm2 restart, your Uptime Kuma will be back online with the latest version.

And that’s it, this is how easily you can update your Uptime Kuma instance to the latest version using the xCloud Command Runner. Whether you are applying a minor patch or upgrading to a major release, the process remains the same straightforward set of commands.
