Maintenant is a self-hosted, single-container dashboard for monitoring Docker and Kubernetes infrastructure.
What Maintenant is
Maintenant is a self-hosted, single-container dashboard for monitoring Docker and Kubernetes infrastructure. It tracks containers, HTTP and TCP endpoints, cron heartbeats, TLS certificates, and CPU, memory, network, and disk metrics. It discovers containers automatically, monitors health and restart loops, and streams logs. Update Intelligence checks OCI registries for image digest changes, while security insights flag exposed ports and risky configurations. The dashboard uses SQLite by default, can be configured for PostgreSQL, and needs no separate datastore service. Connections include a REST API, real-time SSE streams, and an MCP server. Community provides webhook and Discord alerts; paid editions add email and Telegram, and Pro also offers Slack, Teams, and escalation policies. Community is free forever. Personal costs €149 once, including one year of updates; further updates cost €59 per year. Pro costs €29 per month excluding VAT, or €290 per year excluding VAT. There is no built-in authentication, so operators must protect the dashboard and admin API with a reverse proxy and authentication middleware.
