Self-hosting and resource needs

Neither is the published Statuspage lander — that is Checkcle on /stacks/checkcle-monitoring. Gatus is TwiN/gatus. Uptime Kuma is louislam/uptime-kuma and is already named on that stack. Cachet v3 is a custom license — not this pair. Grafana is dashboards, not a public incident page.

FAQ

Where is Checkcle?
The published Statuspage path — /stacks/checkcle-monitoring.
Why not Cachet?
Cachet v3 LICENSE.md is a custom license that forbids distributing the software as a standalone product. Not the published OSS path.
Are these free?
Gatus is Apache-2.0. Uptime Kuma is MIT. You pay hosting.
How do I deploy a status page?
Open /stacks/checkcle-monitoring. Persist check history. Add one HTTP check.
