        <description><![CDATA[<p>So here's the situation.</p>

<p>I was using a custom script to monitor my server's uptime. It would monitor the ports listed and send me a message on Telegram (using bot API) if any of those goes down or comes back online.</p>

<p>Up until recently, it was mostly working fine until I updated the script, upon which the script stopped working partially. It will monitor uptime but no longer send me notifications if something goes offline or comes back online. It still sends notifications regarding the health status.</p>

<p>Ah, did I mention that I deleted the original backup (that I made before the modification) from the server during a previous cleanup? Anyway, I do not have enough time to fix the script and was looking for a simple opensource script/project that can do the same.</p>

<h2>Requirements:</h2>

<ol>
<li>Monitor uptime for ports and websites</li>
<li>Send message via telegram if something goes down or comes back up</li>
<li>Send a daily telegram message with the uptime status + monitor duration</li>
<li>(optional) Monitor latency</li>
<li>(optional) Does not require docker or nodejs</li>
<li>(optional) PHP or python based script</li>
</ol>

<p>If you guys know of such a project/script, do let me know.</p>

<p>PS. I am NOT looking for a public service that does the same, unless I can self host it. Many of the servers that require monitoring are on local network without publicly open ports and I would like to keep it the same.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>They use something called LOWA.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.makeuseof.com/use-libreoffice-in-web-browser/" rel="nofollow">https://www.makeuseof.com/use-libreoffice-in-web-browser/</a></p>

<p>Bring it on, Mr. Lowa Lowa….</p>

<p>Though personally I am not sure why I should download a 300 MB install in my browser cache (?). Plus, NC (or Yunohost) allow me to do the same. As Collabora.</p>

<p>Edit 1: also Onlyoffice as mentioned by <a href="https://lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/sanvit" rel="nofollow">@sanvit</a> below.</p>

<p>So what really is the utility of web based Libreoffice? Is it a case of too little, too late ?</p>

<p>(I use LO in offline mode extensively)</p>

<p>Edit2:  the 300 MB download does take time! 10 minutes and counting on my 200 Mbps connection. Even turned off VPN. Interesting that the status says</p>

<blockquote><div>
  <p>Qt for WebAssembly: soffice</p>
</div></blockquote>

<p>soffice.bin (from the Staroffice era) <a rel="nofollow" href="https://blog.amarvyas.in/linux-open-source/office-suite-journey-staroffice-openoffice-libreoffice-web-version/">brings back fond memories</a> link to my blogpost</p>
