Cachet is a self-hosted status page system that lets you communicate service status and incidents to users without relying on third-party platforms.
The tool solves the problem of status communication by providing a self-contained application where you can publish real-time updates about your services. It allows you to create incidents, schedule maintenance windows, and display component status through a public-facing dashboard. Built on Laravel and PHP, it runs on your own infrastructure with support for MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite databases, giving you complete control over your status page data and presentation.
Cachet suits organizations that want to avoid vendor lock-in or recurring fees for status page services, or those operating in regulated environments requiring data sovereignty. It works well for teams managing multiple services or components that need coordinated status reporting. The tool is appropriate for self-hosted deployments where you have infrastructure to run a PHP application and database.
The project is undergoing active rebuilding with a version 3.x release that represents a significant architectural refresh. Development includes automated testing infrastructure and the project maintains security vulnerability reporting processes through a dedicated security contact channel.
