Kener

Sleek, lightweight status page and incident management system

Alternative to: statuspage, instatus, betteruptime

Kener is a self hosted status page system built with SvelteKit that lets you monitor services, manage incidents, and communicate uptime to your users through a great-looking public status page. It supports scheduled maintenance windows, subscriber notifications, and API/heartbeat-based monitoring, without the overhead of enterprise incident-management platforms.

Kener Docker Compose example

Self-host Kener on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example. It runs Kener in Docker containers using the official redis:7-alpine, rajnandan1/kener:latest images, with persistent volumes and automatic restarts preconfigured. Review the environment variables and adjust them to your setup, save the file as compose.yml (or docker-compose.yml), and start the stack with docker compose up -d.

services:
  # Redis — required for BullMQ queues, caching, and the scheduler
  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - redis_data:/data
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5

Values set to changeme are required — replace them with your own values before starting Kener.
