Freedom251 › Container Monitoring
Maintenant
What Maintenant is
Maintenant is a self-hosted, single-container dashboard for monitoring Docker and Kubernetes environments. It tracks containers, HTTP and TCP endpoints, cron heartbeats, TLS certificates, and CPU, memory, network, and disk metrics. It can discover containers automatically, follow health and restart loops, and stream logs. Update Intelligence checks OCI registries for changed image digests, while security insights flag exposed ports and risky container settings. Community includes webhook and Discord alerts; paid editions add email and Telegram, and Pro also lists Slack, Teams, and escalation policies. The software offers a REST API, real-time SSE streams, and an MCP server, and uses SQLite by default with an option for PostgreSQL. Community is free forever. Personal costs 149.00 EUR once and includes one year of updates; further updates cost 59 € incl. VAT/year. Pro costs €29 a month or 290 € excl. VAT/year. The dashboard has no built-in authentication, so the maker's security guide calls for a reverse proxy and authentication middleware.
Who it suits
Maintenant suits people or teams running Docker or Kubernetes infrastructure who want a self-hosted monitoring dashboard. Personal is limited to one person's own infrastructure; Pro is listed for teams and infrastructure run for others.
What it does well
- Monitors containers, endpoints, certificates, and host metrics
- Discovers containers and streams logs
- Includes webhook and Discord alerts in Community
- Offers REST API, SSE streams, and MCP server
- Uses SQLite by default without a datastore service
What to know first
- Dashboard has no built-in authentication
- Personal has no support commitment
- Personal license excludes monitoring others' infrastructure
- Community resource history is limited to 7 days
Limits
Community is free forever and allows 10 endpoints, 5 heartbeats, 5 certificate monitors, 3 status components, and 1 host, with 7 days of resource history. The lowest-priced paid option is Personal at 149.00 EUR once; it covers one person's own infrastructure, up to 20 hosts and 30 days of resource history, and includes one year of updates. Further updates cost 59 € incl. VAT per year.

- Connect systems through the REST API, SSE streams, or MCP server as needed.
Verdict
Maintenant brings container, endpoint, certificate, and resource monitoring into a self-hosted dashboard, with plan-specific alerting and history limits. Operators need to secure its dashboard and admin API through a reverse proxy and authentication middleware.
