A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Looks like you found a solution that works. Just wanted to mention that I use macros in Macrodroid and/or Tasker for these sort of things.
For example, I have a macro set to HTTP GET my domain at 60 minute intervals as a up check.
This isn’t selfhosted but you can use uptime robot. They can send regular http get requests or ping an IP or URL, the free tier can have like 10 monitors I think? I receive an email when an host isn’t available, in 5 minutes usually.

I just tried adding a native VPN and there’s no option to use Wireguard
Sorry, you’re right. It’s been so long that I’ve installed the app and always went via system settings that I’ve incorrectly assumed it was native.
Same. Might be confused because the WireGuard app does integrate with the settings menu, but it still uses the app under the hood. In the case of WireGuard’s UI, it basically looks like a settings page, so when you go to Settings -> Network -> VPN -> WireGuard, it feels as if you never left settings.
There’s basically no point baking WireGuard support in the ROM as you’ll just end up duplicating the WireGuard app anyway.
Nock-nock seems to do this. Trying now
Edit: it works great
Edit: Nock-nock has a few too many false positives for me. Website monitor seems to be better.
