Publish real‑time service status with beautiful public and admin interfaces
Staytus offers a self‑hosted solution to publish real‑time service status with public pages, admin dashboard, email alerts, and Docker/Kubernetes deployment.
Staytus is a self‑hosted Ruby on Rails application that lets organizations publish up‑to‑date status information for web applications, networks, and other services. The platform targets teams that need a branded status page for customers or internal stakeholders while retaining full control over data and hosting environment.
The solution includes a public status page that can be themed, an admin console for creating incidents, scheduling maintenance, and managing users, and a background worker that sends email notifications to subscribed recipients. All content is stored in a MySQL database, and the UI is built with modern HTML/CSS for a clean look.
Staytus can be installed from source on any server with Ruby ≥ 2.3 and MySQL, or run as a Docker container for easier provisioning. The roadmap mentions first‑class support for Kubernetes, allowing scalable deployments in cloud environments. Upgrades are performed via standard Git pull and Rake tasks, making it straightforward to keep the system current.
When teams consider Staytus, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
