The Lens

Cachet is a self-hosted status page system that lets you communicate downtime and incidents to your users without depending on a third-party service. It handles components, incidents, scheduled maintenance, metrics, and subscriber notifications. Clean UI, straightforward setup.

Runs on PHP 8.2+ with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite. Docker setup is available. The v3 rewrite modernized the codebase, but the project has had stretches of slow development. If you are comfortable with Laravel apps, maintaining this is routine. If not, expect some hands-on time with PHP dependency management.

Solo devs and small teams: this is free and covers the basics well. For larger orgs, you lose the integrations that paid tools like Statuspage offer out of the box (deep PagerDuty/Datadog hooks, SLA reporting, global CDN distribution).

The catch: development has been inconsistent. The v3 rewrite took years. If you need an actively maintained status page with guaranteed updates, look at Upptime or Gatus instead.
