What is InfraInbox?

Your infrastructure inbox. Keep your monitors. Fix your alerts. InfraInbox sits downstream of the tools you already run — Proxmox, Uptime Kuma, Alertmanager, a cron job, a script — and turns their notifications into one inbox with real incidents, sane deduplication, quiet hours and a route to wherever you actually want to hear about it: Telegram, Slack, Discord, a webhook, or its own phone app.

Sources → Events → Rules → Incidents → Destinations
(Proxmox, (what (what to (grouped, (Telegram,
Kuma, arrived) do with deduplicated Slack,
a script, it) problems) Discord,
the agent) webhook,
the app)

A source sends events. Rules decide what an event becomes: nothing worth a person’s time stays in the log; anything that is groups into an incident, deduplicated by fingerprint so one flapping VM doesn’t page you fifty times. Incidents route to destinations — one, several, or none, depending on severity, quiet hours and whatever else you’ve configured.

  • Not a monitor. It doesn’t probe your hosts, poll your services or decide anything is down on its own. That’s still Uptime Kuma’s job, or Proxmox’s, or Alertmanager’s — InfraInbox becomes a source your monitor points at, not a replacement for it.
  • Not a push API. You don’t integrate against InfraInbox instead of Telegram; you point your existing tools at InfraInbox once, and it fans out to Telegram (and Slack, Discord, a webhook, its own app) from there.
  • Not on-call software. There’s no escalation chain, no paging schedule, no “page the next person if nobody acks in five minutes.” It’s one inbox with rules, silences and quiet hours — built for a homelab or a small team, not a 24/7 operations desk.

Homelab operators and self-hosters first: people running Proxmox, a NAS, a handful of Docker hosts and a pile of monitoring tools that each shout into their own corner. If you’ve ever missed a failed backup because it was buried in fifty other Telegram messages, this is for you.

Run it yourself with one Docker Compose file and PostgreSQL — see the quick start. InfraInbox Cloud, a hosted version, is in an invite-only beta and free for the duration of the beta; it isn’t open for general sign-up yet.
