A simple self-hosted open source status page site written in Django

Inspired by Cachet

Cachet is a great product, I simply despise PHP.

Quick Setup

Heroku / Dokku

• Check out the code from github
• Push it to Dokku or Heroku
• Set the DATABASE_URL variable as appropriate
• Set the variable PRODUCTION to 'True'
• Optionally set the STATUS_LOGO_URL to the logo you would like displayed on the status page
• Optionally Set the STATUS_TICKET_URL to the URL of your ticket system
• Optionally Set the STATUS_TITLE variable to something appropriate for the page title
• Optionally set the LOGO_URL to the logo you would like displayed on the status page
• Optionally Set the TICKET_URL to the URL of your ticket system
• Make sure you run: python manage.py migrate

uWSGI

• Check out the code from github into a directory on your server.
• For this example we assume the code is checked out to '/var/hosting/unconfigured.org/statuspage'
• Create a virtualenv: virtualenv /var/hosting/unconfigured.org/virtualenv
• Activate the virtualenv: . /var/hosting/unconfigured.org/virtualenv/bin/activate
• Install the requirements: pip install -r /var/hosting/unconfigured.org/statuspage/requirements.txt
• The following should be sufficient as a UWSGI config:
• Make sure you run: python manage.py migrate

[uwsgi]
plugins=python
chdir=/var/hosting/unconfigured.org/statuspage
module=statuspage.wsgi:application
socket=127.0.0.1:9000
env=PRODUCTION=True
env=DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=statuspage.settings
env=DATABASE_URL=sqlite:////var/hosting/unconfigured.org/statuspage.db
home=/var/hosting/unconfigured.org/virtualenv
uid=statuspage
gid=statuspage

Locally using virtualenvwrapper

• mkvirtualenv statuspage
• edit ~/.virtualenvs/statuspage/bin/postactivate to export DATABASE_URL, and optionally STATUS_LOGO_URL, STATUS_TICKET_URL, and STATUS_TITLE
• Check out the code from github
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• python manage.py migrate
• python manage.py runserver
