Uptime Kuma is a user-friendly, self-hosted monitoring tool that tracks the availability of websites, services, and infrastructure. It replaces Pingdom, Datadog Synthetics, and UptimeRobot for teams desiring autonomy over their monitoring data. This instructor-led live training (online or onsite) is designed for beginner-to-intermediate SREs and DevOps engineers who aim to replace cloud uptime monitoring with a self-hosted, sovereign status tracking platform.

This instructor-led, live training in Slovakia (online or onsite) is aimed at security engineers and system administrators who wish to deploy and manage enterprise-grade self-hosted VPN solutions using WireGuard and OpenVPN.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to deploy WireGuard and OpenVPN, design scalable architectures, integrate with identity systems, and monitor/secure VPN infrastructure.

OpenVPN and WireGuard represent the two leading open-source VPN protocols. By operating your own VPN server, you ensure that no third-party provider can log traffic metadata, inject advertisements, or comply with foreign data requests. This training covers both protocols to address various threat models and performance needs.

Wazuh is an open-source security platform offering unified XDR and SIEM capabilities for threat detection, integrity monitoring, incident response, and compliance. It aggregates endpoint telemetry into a self-managed analysis engine, providing a viable alternative to Splunk Enterprise Security, Microsoft Sentinel, and other cloud-native SIEMs.

Woodpecker CI is a streamlined yet robust continuous integration engine crafted specifically for self-hosted Git forge platforms such as Gitea and Forgejo. It delivers a lightweight, Docker-native CI/CD experience, eliminating the complexity and licensing costs associated with enterprise-grade CI solutions.
