Facts read from this source

• Self hosting available Report an error

  “openstatus provides a Docker Compose setup that makes self-hosting straightforward.”

• Self hosting kubernetes helm Report an error

  “On Kubernetes, use the Helm chart instead — see Running on Kubernetes.”

• Self hosting status page only Report an error

  “the lightweight status-page-only setup runs four services instead of the full stack — no Tinybird, no probes, no API server.”

• Self hosting limitation private locations Report an error

  “It only works with private locations. You have to deploy our probes to the cloud provider of your choice.”

• Self hosting ip restriction limitation Report an error

  “The IP restriction feature for status pages relies on the X-Forwarded-For header, which Vercel overwrites with the verified client IP. When self-hosting behind a different reverse proxy, clients can spoof this header to bypass IP restrictions.”

• Self hosting docker images Report an error

  “Probe ghcr.io/openstatushq/private-location:latest”

• Self hosting AI assistant default off Report an error

  “It is off by default when self-hosting — the chat endpoint returns 503 "Chat is not configured" until you point it at a model provider.”

• Self hosting AI openai compatible Report an error

  “Use any OpenAI-compatible API — NVIDIA NIM, vLLM, Ollama, OpenRouter, Neon AI Gateway, LM Studio, or a private gateway.”

• Self hosting service architecture Report an error

  “workflows 3000 Background jobs and scheduled tasks server 3001 API backend (ConnectRPC + REST v1) dashboard 3002 Admin interface for configuration status-page 3003 Public status pages private-location 8081 Ingest server — receives results from probes”

• Self hosting analytics tinybird Report an error

  “openstatus stores every check result in Tinybird. Without a working Tinybird setup you can create monitors and probes, but the dashboard will show no data.”

• Self hosting prebuilt images Report an error

  “Use docker compose -f docker-compose.github-packages.yaml up -d, which pulls from ghcr.io/openstatushq/* instead.”

• Self hosting cron required Report an error

  “Self-hosted deployments need external cron scheduling for background tasks. Without these, critical features like private location health monitoring won't work.”

• Self hosting probe refresh interval Report an error

  “The probe refreshes its monitor list every 10 minutes.”

• Self hosting workspace limits manual Report an error

  “Because this is a self-hosted instance, you need to manually set the feature limits for your workspace directly in the database.”

• Self hosting paid plan unlock Report an error

  “UPDATE workspace SET plan='team', paid_until=strftime('%s','now') + 315360000, ends_at=NULL WHERE id=1;”

• Self hosting AI vercel gateway Report an error

  “If you use the Vercel AI Gateway, set a single key. The model is chosen automatically (a smaller model for free workspaces, a stronger one for paid).”
