Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the source code:

   git clone https://github.com/harsxv/tinystatus.git
   cd tinystatus
   

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Configuration

1. Create a .env file in the project root and customize the variables:

   MONITOR_CONTINOUSLY=True
   CHECK_INTERVAL=30
   MAX_HISTORY_ENTRIES=100
   LOG_LEVEL=INFO
   CHECKS_FILE=checks.yaml
   INCIDENTS_FILE=incidents.md
   TEMPLATE_FILE=index.html.theme
   HISTORY_TEMPLATE_FILE=history.html.theme
   STATUS_HISTORY_FILE=history.json
   HTML_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=/var/www/htdocs/status/
   

2. Edit the checks.yaml file to add or modify the services you want to monitor. Example:

   - name: GitHub Home 
     type: http
     host: https://github.com
     url: https://github.com # (optional: URL review/clickable)
     ssc: True # (optional: if the server uses a self-signed certificate)
     expected_code: 200
   
   - name: Google DNS
     type: ping
     host: 8.8.8.8
   
   - name: Database
     type: port
     host: db.example.com
     port: 5432

3. (Optional) Customize the incidents.md file to add any known incidents or maintenance schedules.

4. (Optional) Modify the index.html.theme and history.html.theme files to customize the look and feel of your status pages.

Usage

1. Run the TinyStatus script:

   python tinystatus.py
   

2. The script will generate three files:

   • index.html: The main status page
   • history.html: The status history page
   • history.json: The status history and timestamp data

3. To keep the status page continuously updated, you can run the script in the background:

   • On Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS):

     nohup python tinystatus.py &
     

   • On Windows, you can use the Task Scheduler to run the script at startup.

4. Serve the generated HTML files using your preferred web server (e.g., Apache, NGINX, or a simple Python HTTP server for testing).

Using Docker

In order to run the script using Docker:

 docker build -t tinystatus .
 docker run -ti --rm --name tinystatus -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp tinystatus

Customization

• Adjust the configuration variables in the .env file to customize the behavior of TinyStatus.
• Customize the appearance of the status page by editing the CSS in index.html.theme and history.html.theme.
• Add or remove services by modifying the checks.yaml file.
