The record

Purpose: LibrePing monitors websites and services from multiple locations and displays reachability results on a live map.
Decentralized network: Hubs share check data through a peer-to-peer libp2p gossip mesh without a central server.
No signup: The dashboard creates an identity key in the browser, and users can save a recovery phrase to move their identity to another device.
Shared checks: When multiple users add the same target, LibrePing deduplicates it so the network monitors it once and shares the result.
Alerts: Alert integrations include ntfy, Discord, Slack, and raw webhooks, with alert destinations encrypted for the hubs responsible for sending notifications.
Alert delivery: Failed alert sends are retried, and another hub can take over if the notifying hub goes offline; delivery is at-least-once and can produce duplicates during failover.
Integrity and trust: Probes sign results and hubs verify signatures; operators can use an allowlist, while the default policy accepts validly signed results and relies on corroboration.
Location caveat: Probe locations are auto-detected from public IP by default but remain self-declared, with no cryptographic proof of geography.
Dashboard: The dashboard includes a geographic map, network overview, and per-monitor uptime and latency timelines with location breakdowns and recent checks.
Self-hosting: Users can run a hub with its own dashboard or run a probe to contribute a monitoring location; both ship as Docker images.
Probe limit: A probe defaults to a hard cap of 300 checks per minute, configurable with MAX_CHECKS_PER_MINUTE.
Retention: By default hubs retain detailed results for 7 days, hourly summaries for 90 days, and daily summaries for 730 days; older data is dropped.
License: LibrePing is free software under AGPL-3.0, which requires sharing modifications when running a modified version as a network service.
Checks: It supports HTTP(S), TCP, DNS, TLS certificate, ICMP ping and traceroute checks.
