Fast, minimal open-source status page built with Hugo
A lightweight, Hugo-powered status page that loads instantly even on legacy browsers. Free hosting with Netlify, built-in CMS support, and read-only API for incident tracking.
cState is a static status page generator built on Hugo, designed for teams that need a fast, reliable way to communicate service incidents without the overhead of commercial monitoring platforms. It loads quickly even on Internet Explorer 8, requires minimal JavaScript, and generates pages in seconds regardless of incident history size.
Ideal for open-source projects, small-to-medium development teams, and organizations that prefer self-hosted solutions with full data ownership. cState works as an informational hub where you manually record incidents rather than an automated monitoring system. It supports 10+ languages, includes auto dark mode, and offers statistical summaries of downtime.
Deploy to Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Vercel, or self-host with Docker. Integrate Netlify CMS or Forestry for non-technical team members to publish updates without touching code. Export data via RSS or the read-only API to create custom integrations, embed status badges, or connect to external monitoring tools. Customize everything from a single configuration file.
When teams consider cstate, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Open-Source Project Status Hub
Chocolatey and sr.ht use cState to communicate service incidents to their communities with zero hosting costs and full branding control.
Developer Team Incident Log
Track historical downtime with statistical summaries, categorize incidents by system, and provide stakeholders a transparent view of service reliability.
Multi-Language Service Communication
Deploy a status page in 10+ languages with auto dark mode, ensuring global users receive incident updates in their preferred language.
Custom Integration via API
Use the read-only API or RSS feed to embed status badges on dashboards, trigger workflows, or sync incident data with external monitoring tools.
No. cState is a static status page for recording and displaying incidents manually. You can integrate external monitoring tools to trigger updates, but real-time monitoring is not built-in.
cState works with Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Vercel, render.com, or self-hosted environments using Docker and NGINX.
Yes. Integrate Netlify CMS or Forestry to provide a no-code interface for creating and publishing incidents without touching Git or Hugo.
Hugo version 0.80 or later is required starting with cState v5. Use version 0.101.0 or newer for best compatibility.
Edit the single configuration file to change colors, text, and settings. For deeper customization, modify Hugo templates or add custom pages and styles.
