Stop renting your status page.
Own it.
SignalHub is an open-source, self-hosted status page with uptime monitoring and incident communication built in. One container, one PostgreSQL database, running on servers you control.
Privacy first: SSO, SCIM, MFA and audit log included at no cost.Hosted status pages bill you for your own customers.
The more people trust your status page, the more you pay for it. SignalHub removes the meter — and the middleman holding your data.
From failed check to informed customer in 30 seconds.
Monitoring and communication live in one product, so the check that notices a problem is the same one that tells people about it. Watch the demo run.
Enterprise features. No enterprise invoice.
Identity, access, audit and every channel ship in every install. Nothing is gated behind a sales call.
Detect. Decide. Tell. Show. On autopilot.
HTTP, TCP, DNS, SSL, keyword, ICMP and heartbeat checks run from your own worker, with thresholds so one blip is not an outage.

Your customer list stays under your control.
Hosted status pages keep your subscribers, incident history and audit trail on their servers. SignalHub stores these records in your infrastructure.
Delivery providers receive only the contact and message data needed to send the notifications you enable.
Nothing phones home. Nothing locks you in.
Your subscribers, incidents and audit trail stay in one PostgreSQL database you own. Back it up, export it, or leave whenever you like.
No telemetry, no phone-home
Nothing is sent to us. There is no “us” in the loop at all.
Outbound traffic is guarded
Checks and webhooks pass SSRF guards and a network policy you control.
Secrets stay encrypted
Provider credentials and subscriber contacts use AES-256-GCM, with keys kept outside the database.
Back up and leave any time
One PostgreSQL database and an organization export. No lock-in to unwind.
Paid status pages charge per subscriber. SignalHub doesn’t.

Competitor prices are list prices taken from each vendor’s public pricing page on the dates shown. They may change, may exclude taxes, discounts or add-ons, and may differ from what you pay. Please verify with the vendor. Savings figures are illustrative and cover license or subscription fees only.
When another tool is the better choice.
Self-hosting trades operations work for control and cost. These are the cases where a hosted product is the better fit.
A hosted product removes the operations work. SignalHub trades that for control and cost.
Checks run from wherever your worker runs. Run several workers, or push results in through the API.
The interface is English only today.
Self-hosting makes the controls possible. It doesn’t produce a vendor attestation.
Security your auditors can read the source of.
Identity, access and audit controls ship in every install. Nothing is gated behind a sales call, and every control is open to inspection.
Single sign-on and provisioning
SAML 2.0 and OIDC for sign-in, SCIM to add and remove people from your identity provider.
Authenticator-app MFA
Require codes for everyone. Lost devices go through an administrator-approved recovery, never a support ticket.
Tamper-evident audit
Every sign-in, setting change and admin action is written to a SHA-256 hash chain you can verify and stream to your SIEM.
Guarded outbound traffic
Private network targets are blocked by default. Internal monitoring requires an explicit opt-in; webhook network permissions are separate.

Questions teams ask about SignalHub.
What is SignalHub?
An open-source, self-hosted platform for status pages, uptime monitoring and incident communication. It runs on your own infrastructure as one container plus PostgreSQL, under the Apache-2.0 license, with no per-subscriber, per-page or per-seat fees.
Is SignalHub free to use?
Yes. There is no license fee and no per-subscriber, per-page or per-seat charge. You pay only for the server, the PostgreSQL database and the email or SMS provider you run it with.
Is it a self-hosted alternative to Atlassian Statuspage?
Yes. SignalHub covers public, private and audience-restricted status pages, subscriber notifications, incidents, maintenance windows and postmortems, but runs on your servers. Statuspage lists about $399 a month for 5,000 subscribers; SignalHub costs only your infrastructure.
Where is subscriber and incident data stored?
All subscribers, incidents and audit records live in your own PostgreSQL database. Provider credentials and subscriber contacts are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, with keys kept outside the database. SignalHub sends no telemetry and never phones home.
Is the audit log tamper-evident?
Yes. Every sign-in, setting change and administrator action is written to a SHA-256 hash chain you can verify. Audit events can be streamed to your SIEM and exported as CSV or JSON for auditors.
How are subscribers notified during an incident?
Subscribers receive updates by email, SMS, webhook or RSS. Your team is alerted in Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and 20 more destinations. SignalHub supports 8 SMS providers and 19 email presets, or any SMTP server.
How do I install it, and where can it run?
Clone the GitHub repository and run ./install.sh on a Linux server, or start it with docker compose up -d. It runs on Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Node.js 22.9+, Render, Railway, Fly.io, DigitalOcean, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, with PostgreSQL 14 or newer.
When is SignalHub not the right choice?
Choose a hosted tool if you do not want to run servers, need probes from many regions, need a translated status page or require a vendor compliance report. The interface is English only, and checks run from your own worker.
Own the page your customers check when things go wrong.
Free forever. Private by design. Running on your servers in minutes.
