A free, open-source alternative to Statusly Pro. They charge $49/mo.
Free
Status Board
A public status page that builds from a folder of markdown incidents and deploys as static HTML.
Teardown
3 parts, wired together
- 01AstroTODO — renders the page and the incident feed at build time.
- 02GitHub ActionsTODO — rebuilds and redeploys whenever an incident file changes.
- 03Upptime checksTODO — pings your endpoints on a schedule and opens an incident file.
What it does
TODO — replace this placeholder description.
Status Board covers the one job Statusly Pro charges $49/mo for, and stops there. It runs on your own machine or your own hosting, against your own key, so the running cost is whatever the underlying API charges and nothing on top.
TODO — describe the actual loop the tool handles here.
Run it yourself
Bring your own API key. Three commands from clone to running.
$ git clone https://github.com/rebuiltlabs/status-board.git$ cd status-board && npm install$ cp .env.example .env # add your own API keyWhat I cut
Where it stops short of Statusly Pro
- TODO — no subscriber notifications; the RSS feed is the notification.
- TODO — no per-component uptime SLAs.
- TODO — incidents are edited as files, not in a form.
