Self-host Gatus for uptime monitoring and status pages.
Gatus gives you a lightweight website uptime monitoring dashboard for endpoints you care about: sites, APIs, DNS checks and internal services.
Website uptime monitoring
Track the endpoints that matter to your project instead of watching a shared example dashboard.
Open-source status page
The template reached a live Gatus dashboard in production smoke testing. A free or paid server slot is required to deploy.
Endpoint monitoring
After deploy, replace the sample endpoints with your own sites, APIs and DNS checks.
Deploy Gatus in one click
- 1. Launch the template VibeNest opens the deploy flow with the Gatus repo and branch pre-filled.
- 2. Confirm hardware Use a free or paid server slot for the monitoring service.
- 3. Edit checks Replace demo endpoints with the URLs and services you actually operate.
Open-source uptime monitoring with a status page
Gatus is aimed at developer-operated checks rather than a generic shared uptime badge. Configure HTTP, TCP, DNS and other endpoint conditions, define the response or latency you expect, and publish the resulting health view from your own instance.
A private deployment is useful when checks include internal hostnames, non-public APIs or alerting destinations that should not live in somebody else’s monitoring account. The configuration remains tied to your project and can evolve alongside the services it watches.
After the first deploy
Open the dashboard, remove the sample checks and add endpoints you control. Set realistic intervals and failure conditions before enabling alerts. The public status page can be shared, while configuration changes stay in the repository and deployment workflow rather than in a public editing screen.

Deploy repositoryFrequently asked questions
Is Gatus open source? +
Yes. Gatus is open-source software. VibeNest launches it from the upstream GitHub repository and hosts it on your own subdomain with free SSL.
Why should I run my own Gatus instance? +
Monitoring is project-specific. Your own instance lets you track your endpoints, thresholds and status page without sharing state with other users.
Can Gatus monitor website uptime? +
Yes. Use it as a website uptime monitoring dashboard for your own sites, APIs, DNS checks and internal services.
Does the template include checks? +
The upstream project includes example checks. After deploy, replace those endpoints with your own sites, APIs and DNS checks.
Does it need a database? +
The validated smoke deploy did not require a managed database. Persistence and alerting choices can be added later as the recipe matures.
Deploy your own monitoring dashboard
Start with a working Gatus instance, then swap the sample checks for your own endpoints.
