I built this a few months ago including a python script to check the uptime for websites, but I've lost the repo while moving to a new docker registry. There should be a backup somewhere which I can check... However, there should be no problem installing it on a LAMP.

Wanted to provide an update on this. Packaging this app is straightforward since it's lavarel based (https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/cachethq-app). There are some issues:
- The 2.3 release does not support php 7.2. https://github.com/CachetHQ/Cachet/issues/3719 . So, let's wait for the 2.4 release.
- I found the app itself does not monitor. One has to install sidecar package like https://github.com/castawaylabs/cachet-monitor or https://github.com/mtakaki/cachet-url-monitor . I guess we need to bundle one of these solutions in the package itself.

@girish is it possible to pack this in an unstable release or help me install it on cloudron?
@Trankery As @girish mentioned, there are some limitations in it currently with support for php and so it was suggested to wait for the 2.4 version of Cachet, however 2.4 does not appear to have been released yet officially by the CachetHQ team. You can theoretically deploy a LAMP stack and deploy the app that way as discussed earlier in the thread. I have been meaning to try deploying this myself as well and haven't completed it. Maybe I'll do that in the next week or two, and will report back if I can get it to work. At this time though, I'm almost looking at alternatives to Cachet to provide service status updates and monitoring history to my clients.

Side note: A useful resource for alternatives in case this helps your project @Trankery: https://github.com/ivbeg/awesome-status-pages - In particular I think https://pagefate.com/ looks quite good.

Actually, I think we should wait for the 2.4 release - https://github.com/CachetHQ/Cachet/issues/3968 . If there is another status page system, we can look into packaging that.

@girish - Definitely lots of alternatives. I think the more common ones to Cachet is StatPing, Staytus (although apparently it's discontinued but not too old), a newer one called Statusfy, list goes on. I'm going to try to package together one someday as well as a custom app and see how it goes.

After a quick research, I found the following: https://github.com/bazzite/statusfy
No idea if this fits the bill though.

@Trankery From what I can tell, staytus hasn't been developed in a while (last commit almost a year ago). CachetHQ is active but hasn't release in a while as well (https://github.com/CachetHQ/Cachet/issues/3968). I am waiting for some upstream response before publishing it because don't want people using apps that are not actively maintained.

I played around with statping today. What intrigues me about it (apart from it being written in golang) is the ability to use custom webhooks and even own scripts for notifications.
App is located at https://git.cloudron.io/fbartels/statping-app/, but surely can use some more polish. But it is generally in an "it works" state.
