Cachet is a Free and Open Source uptime monitoring and service status solution – you deploy it and it watches your pages and reports their status on a dashboard for you to monitor.

While the project hasn't seen any changes since 2021, it does work for basic use cases and can be used in a pinch. Despite being stagnant for over a year it still has a better feature set than many other F/OSS projects in this space.

Getting Cachet running locally

The last published cachethq/docker image is from January 2021, but it looks like there are some new more recently created images popping up like librespace/cachet whose code is also open source.

The docker incantation to run libreaspace/cachet looks like this:

docker run \
	-v $PWD/data:/var/www/html \
    -p 8000:8000 \
	-e DB_DRIVER=pgsql \
    -e DB_HOST=postgres \
    -e DB_DATABASE=postgres \
    -e DB_USERNAME=postgres \
    -e DB_PASSWORD=postgres \
    -e APP_URL=https://localhost:8000 \
    -e CACHE_DRIVER=apc \
    -e DOCKER=true \
    -e CACHE_BEACON=false \
    librespace/cachet

The container is pretty light, but always make sure to read the Dockerfile, and consider building your own container to avoid security risks!
