What is OpenStatus?

What it is

OpenStatus is an open-source status page and uptime monitoring platform for teams that need availability checks and incident communication in one place. It lives in the Infrastructure & Operations / Monitoring & Observability category, and it is written in TypeScript under the AGPL-3.0 license.

The concrete problem it solves is the split between monitoring tools and status pages. Teams often operate separate uptime checkers, notification channels, and public status pages. OpenStatus combines those functions so a monitor can drive a status page, notify subscribers, and alert operators through Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, email, RSS, or webhooks. It is available as a managed service or self-hosted stack.

Key capabilities

  • The platform monitors servers, websites, and APIs from 28 global regions across three cloud providers, with checks running in parallel.
  • Status pages support custom domains, password protection, maintenance windows, and subscriber notifications through email and RSS.
  • Monitoring as code is supported through YAML configuration, a command-line interface, GitHub Actions, and Terraform resources for monitors, notifications, and status pages.
  • The API is typed JSON-over-HTTP using ConnectRPC, with a Node SDK, and the same operations are reachable from the dashboard, terminal, infrastructure code, and MCP clients.
  • Private locations run in a single 8.5MB Docker image, while pre-built images cover the server, dashboard, workflows, status page, and checker.

Who uses it and how

  • Site reliability engineers and on-call operators use it to monitor services and route downtime or slow checks to Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, or email.
  • Product and support teams use it to publish public status pages, communicate maintenance windows, and keep subscribers informed during incidents.
  • Platform teams use it as code by defining monitors, notifications, and status pages in YAML or Terraform, then applying changes through GitHub Actions or the command-line interface.

Getting started

The recommended self-hosting path is Docker Compose: copy .env.docker.example to .env.docker, run docker compose up -d, and open the dashboard at http://localhost:3002 and status pages at http://localhost:3003. Pre-built ghcr.io/openstatushq images are also available for Coolify, and a Railway template can deploy the full stack.

When to use it — and when not to

OpenStatus is a good fit when a team wants an open-source, self-hostable alternative that combines uptime monitoring, status pages, and incident communication without per-seat or per-subscriber pricing. Self-hosting requires operating Docker services, a Turso or libSQL database, Tinybird analytics, and checker or private-location containers, so it is more work than using the managed service. The repository metadata shows a very young project with zero listed contributors and 75 open issues, so teams needing strong commercial support or a long maintenance history should review those signals before adopting it.

# 1. Copy environment file
cp .env.docker.example .env.docker

# 2. Start all services
docker compose up -d

# 3. Access the application
open http://localhost:3002  # Dashboard
open http://localhost:3003  # Status Pages
