cState

Self-Hosted

Open-source, self-hosted status page generator

Overview

cState is an open-source status page tool for creating customizable, static status pages to monitor service uptime and communicate incidents. It uses Markdown/YAML for configuration (no database needed), supports incident tracking, scheduled maintenance, multi-language content, and customizable themes. Deployable via Docker, Netlify, Vercel, or traditional web servers, it’s lightweight, fast, and secure (static files minimize attack surfaces). Ideal for teams wanting full control over their status pages without relying on third-party SaaS tools, ensuring privacy and cost efficiency.
