Overview

Overview

Kener is a modern status‑page platform built with SvelteKit and Node.js. It targets small to medium teams that need a clean, self‑hosted solution without the overhead of enterprise monitoring suites. The UI is responsive, SEO‑ready, and supports light/dark themes and internationalization.

Core capabilities

Out of the box you get real‑time HTTP polling, API‑based data pushes, incident tracking, badge generation, and full branding control—including custom domains, iFrames, and widget embeds. Monitors can be organized into sections and scheduled with cron‑like granularity. Docker images for Debian and Alpine simplify deployment, and the app can run in Kubernetes using base‑path hosting.

Getting started

Deploy with a single docker pull rajnandan1/kener:latest command or clone the repo, install dependencies, and run npm run dev. Configuration is handled via an .env file, and the sample docker‑compose.yml provides a production‑ready setup.

Highlights
