I'm using CState for my status page [1] which gets built from a public git repo on GitHub by CI and pushed.<p>It's been a nice way to let the players on the Minecraft server I maintain know when migrations/upgrades are planned and downtime.<p>I'm still looking for a system to send people emails about downtime and planned migrations but I may just switch to Cachet for that part. Maybe there's a self-hosted way to send emails from the RSS feed in a way that allows people to easily subscribe and unsubscribe? I'd be happy if anyone has any recommendations.<p>[1] <a href="https://status.garykim.dev" rel="nofollow">https://status.garykim.dev</a>
Hi, I'm the author of cState! I'll be reading some of the comments over the next day or so. Please do share any feedback or thoughts you have — here or on the issue board so I get the message right in my inbox — as that will help other people as well. :)
The part that looks most interesting to me, the API uptime integration doesn't appear to have any instructions on how to reproduce the example shown in the README - all that seems to be provided is the ability to add a link in a custom tab. The example image looks aspirational rather than something currently supported (probably worth making that clear).<p>If the ability to monitor uptime/health, or at least integrate with services that provide thatinformation, which is rendered on the status page would make this really cool.
Nothing in the README seems to tell me <i>how</i> this operates.<p>Okay, I understand there's a demo, and changes in v4, and an FAQ, but I'm never told what the scope or method of operation is: what can this monitor? how is it monitored?<p>I don't want to read configuration files or look at a demo to understand what I can use this for and how it does it.
I even read parts of the Wiki and I still don't understand what this is doing: is it essentially a special theme for Hugo, or is there some frontend JavaScript magic going on?
