+# Uptime Kuma Email Notification Setup
+
+## Quick Setup Guide
+
+### 1. Access Uptime Kuma
+
+Open: **https://status.vrije.cloud**
+
+### 2. Navigate to Settings
+
+1. Click on **Settings** (gear icon) in the left sidebar
+2. Click on **Notifications**
+
+### 3. Add Email (SMTP) Notification
+
+1. Click **Setup Notification**
+2. Select **Email (SMTP)**
+3. Configure with these settings:
+
+```
+Notification Type: Email (SMTP)
+Friendly Name: PTT Email Alerts
+
+SMTP Settings:
+  Hostname: smtp.strato.com
+  Port: 587
+  Security: STARTTLS (or "None" with TLS unchecked)
+
+Authentication:
+  Username: server@postxsociety.org
+  Password: Mov!ePubl1cL0ndon@longW!7h
+
+From Email: server@postxsociety.org
+To Email: mail@postxsociety.org
+
+Custom Subject (optional):
+  [🔴 DOWN] {msg}
+  [✅ UP] {msg}
+```
+
+### 4. Test the Notification
+
+1. Click **Test** button
+2. Check mail@postxsociety.org for test email
+3. If successful, click **Save**
+
+### 5. Apply to All Monitors
+
+Option A - Apply when creating monitors:
+- When creating each monitor, select this notification in the "Notifications" section
+
+Option B - Apply to existing monitors:
+1. Go to each monitor's settings (Edit button)
+2. Scroll to "Notifications" section
+3. Enable "PTT Email Alerts"
+4. Click **Save**
+
+### 6. Configure Alert Rules
+
+In the notification settings or per-monitor:
+
+**What to alert on:**
+- ✅ **When service goes down** - Immediate alert
+- ✅ **When service comes back up** - Immediate alert
+- ✅ **Certificate expiring** - 30 days before
+- ✅ **Certificate expiring** - 7 days before
+
+**Alert frequency:**
+- Send alert immediately when status changes
+- Repeat notification every 60 minutes if still down (optional)
+
+## Testing
+
+After setup, test by:
+
+1. Creating a test monitor pointing to a non-existent URL
+2. Wait for it to show as "DOWN"
+3. Verify email notification received
+4. Delete the test monitor
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No emails received
+
+1. Check SMTP settings are correct
+2. Test SMTP connection:
+   ```bash
+   telnet smtp.strato.com 587
+   ```
+3. Check spam/junk folder
+4. Verify email address is correct
+
+### Authentication failed
+
+- Double-check username and password
+- Ensure no extra spaces in credentials
+- Try re-saving the notification
+
+### Connection timeout
+
+- Verify port 587 is not blocked by firewall
+- Try port 25 or 465 (with SSL/TLS)
+- Check if SMTP server allows connections from monitoring server IP
+
+## Alternative: Use Environment Variables
+
+If you want to configure email at container level, update the Docker Compose file:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  uptime-kuma:
+    environment:
+      # Add SMTP environment variables here if supported by future versions
+```
+
+Currently, Uptime Kuma requires web UI configuration for SMTP.
+
+## Notification Settings Per Monitor
+
+When creating monitors for clients, ensure:
+
+- **HTTP(S) monitors**: Enable email notifications
+- **SSL monitors**: Enable email notifications with 30-day and 7-day warnings
+- **Alert threshold**: 3 failed checks before alerting (prevents false positives)
+
+## Email Template
+
+Uptime Kuma sends emails with:
+- Monitor name
+- Status (UP/DOWN)
+- Timestamp
+- Response time
+- Error message (if applicable)
+- Link to monitor in Uptime Kuma
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Test regularly** - Verify emails are being received
+2. **Multiple recipients** - Add additional email addresses for redundancy
+3. **Alert fatigue** - Don't over-alert; use reasonable thresholds
+4. **Maintenance mode** - Pause monitors during planned maintenance
+5. **Group notifications** - Create notification groups for different teams
