Kener

Kener is an open-source, self-hosted web app and server that provides a system for creating public status pages and monitoring service uptime to keep users informed about system health. The software is deployed as a server application, primarily via Docker, though it can also be run directly using Node.js on a host machine.

The application allows administrators to track the availability of various services and communicate outages or maintenance to users in real time. It is designed for those who need a lightweight status page. Deployment typically involves a Docker Compose setup that includes a Redis instance for data handling and a configurable secret key for security.

Kener is built using SvelteKit and Node.js. It supports role-based collaboration, allowing teams to manage multiple status pages from a single instance. The architecture includes a REST API for automation and supports the embedding of status widgets and badges into external websites or portals. It is intended for developers and system administrators who require a branded, SEO-friendly way to display system health to a global audience. The system also supports subpath deployments, allowing the status page to be hosted at a specific URL path like /status.

This tool is a simple, modern utility for uptime monitoring and public communication for teams that prefer a self-hosted approach.
