For IPNS, my experience says it could take up to 30 seconds to publish and up to 10s to resolve.

The https version is served thru a proxy. This is the way you can get your status page visible to the HTTP world. The gotcha is that anyone on the IPFS network could have a copy of your page and serve them in your behalf.

The gotcha there is that you can use multiple gateways to access you page. So you are right, you need to have a http <--> ipfs but you can have many of then and anyone hosting an IPFS node can have a copy of your page and serve it.

This is a bug from development :) I saw this and will be fixed on next release. Thanks for reporting.

IPFS has a so called IPNS system that use mutable hashes. So when you publish using this piece of software you got always a permanent link to share with your users.

One of the main problems while I was researching about status page services and saw many having the same doubts here was about where to deploy the status page. Besides this market has a lot of players even the biggest one had problem when the big S3 outage happened last year (see ref-1).

What about do not depend on a centralized infrastructure to deploy you status page and kept always alive?

This project aims to deploy you status page on a decentralized infrastructure IPFS (see ref-2), after installed it, you will be running a status page service on top of a local IPFS node. So you’ll be able to to publish you status pages on IPFS while being part of the network.

I thought this use case fits perfect on a decentralized environment.

You can deploy this service on a VPS for 1/4 of the price you pay for your current status page service provider.

See an example of a status page deployed using D StatusPage:

http://gw2.dstatuspage.net/ipfs/QmePTzsSVae8BK8antLHfV2xWfEf...

What are you thoughts?

This software is still in alpha state with basic status page service functionalities, feel free to ask for a feature or address any issue you have:

The software will be distributed for free and open source under MIT license.

I'm curious if you already got some subscribers for you service. Did you?
