Better Stack (Uptime)
Uptime monitoring and incident management service that alerts teams when websites or services go down
Statusnook
Self-hosted status page with endpoint monitoring in minutes
Deploy a fully functional status page and monitor your endpoints with a lightweight, self-hosted solution. Built with Go, configured via web UI or YAML.
Overview
Fast, Self-Hosted Status Monitoring
Statusnook is a lightweight status page platform designed for teams that need reliable uptime monitoring without the complexity. Built in Go with SQLite persistence, it delivers a complete monitoring solution that deploys in minutes via Docker, standalone binaries, or one-click cloud templates.
Flexible Configuration & Deployment
Configure monitors through an intuitive web UI or manage infrastructure-as-code with YAML configuration files synced via GitHub. Deploy standalone with managed TLS, behind your existing reverse proxy (Caddy, NGINX), or as a Docker container. The platform supports both amd64 and arm64 architectures, making it suitable for cloud VMs, on-premise servers, or edge devices.
Built for Simplicity
Statusnook eliminates the overhead of complex monitoring stacks. The single-binary architecture requires no external databases or message queues—just SQLite for data persistence. Monitor HTTP/HTTPS endpoints, display real-time status to your users, and receive notifications when services degrade. Perfect for startups, development teams, and operations groups seeking transparent incident communication without vendor lock-in or recurring SaaS fees.
Highlights
Single-binary deployment with managed TLS or reverse proxy support
Web UI and YAML-based configuration with optional GitHub sync
Built-in endpoint monitoring with customizable notification alerts
Lightweight Go + SQLite stack with no external dependencies
Pros
- Extremely fast deployment—operational in minutes with one command
- No external database required; SQLite keeps infrastructure minimal
- Flexible configuration via web UI or GitOps-friendly YAML files
- MIT licensed with active maintenance and zero open issues
Considerations
- Limited to HTTP/HTTPS endpoint monitoring; no advanced protocol support
- SQLite may constrain scalability for very high-traffic status pages
- Smaller ecosystem compared to established SaaS status page platforms
- Documentation focuses on deployment; advanced customization details are sparse

Fit guide
Great for
- Startups and small teams needing transparent uptime communication
- DevOps teams preferring self-hosted tools over SaaS subscriptions
- Organizations requiring infrastructure-as-code configuration workflows
- Projects needing lightweight monitoring on ARM or x86 architectures
Not ideal when
- Enterprises requiring multi-region, distributed monitoring infrastructure
- Teams needing deep protocol monitoring beyond HTTP/HTTPS endpoints
- Organizations dependent on extensive third-party integrations
- Use cases demanding real-time analytics dashboards or complex alerting logic
How teams use it
SaaS Public Status Page
Deploy a branded status page in under 5 minutes, monitor API endpoints, and automatically notify users during incidents.
Internal Service Dashboard
Give engineering teams real-time visibility into microservice health without exposing monitoring infrastructure externally.
GitOps-Driven Monitoring
Manage monitor configurations as YAML in version control, sync via GitHub, and audit all changes through pull requests.
Edge Device Monitoring
Run lightweight status checks on ARM-based edge servers or IoT gateways with minimal resource overhead.

Frequently asked questions
What deployment options does Statusnook support?
Statusnook offers standalone deployment with managed TLS, reverse proxy mode for Caddy/NGINX, Docker containers, one-click cloud templates, and downloadable amd64/arm64 Linux binaries.
Can I configure monitors without editing files?
Yes. Statusnook provides a web-based UI for all configuration. You can also use YAML files synced via GitHub for infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Does Statusnook require an external database?
No. Statusnook uses SQLite for data persistence, eliminating the need for PostgreSQL, MySQL, or other external database systems.
What types of endpoints can I monitor?
Statusnook monitors HTTP and HTTPS endpoints. Advanced protocol monitoring (TCP, ICMP, DNS) is not currently supported.
Is Statusnook suitable for high-traffic public status pages?
Statusnook works well for small to medium traffic. SQLite's single-writer architecture may become a bottleneck for very high-traffic or multi-region deployments.
