What is Status?
Status is a web-based system monitoring tool built for small Linux homeservers. It reads from virtual filesystems like /proc and /sys to show real-time CPU usage, temperatures, frequencies, memory and swap consumption, storage device usage, network traffic, and host details such as OS version, uptime, and load averages. The interface includes a dark mode that follows the system theme. You can run it via Docker Compose or on bare metal with a Python virtual environment. It works on Raspberry Pis, mini PCs, and regular desktops. The project is in maintenance mode with only bug fixes planned, while a Go rewrite called Statee is under development.
Should you self-host Status?
Status scores 45/100 on selfhost.directory (how scoring works) and ranks #37 of 51 in Monitoring & observability. It has 317 GitHub stars.

Setup is moderate: expect some configuration beyond a single command. It is MIT-licensed and written mostly in Python.
Its closest alternative on selfhost.directory is GoAccess (75/100, 21 093 stars). It scores higher overall, so compare the two before you pick. See Status vs GoAccess side by side.
