Kener - Stunning Status Pages

🌍 Live Server	🎉 Quick Start	🗄 Documentation

What is Kener?

Kener is a sleek and lightweight status page system built with SvelteKit and NodeJS. It’s not here to replace heavyweights like Datadog or Atlassian but rather to offer a simple, modern, and hassle-free way to set up a great-looking status page with minimal effort.

Designed with ease of use and customization in mind, Kener provides all the essential features you’d expect from a status page—without unnecessary complexity.

Why Kener?

✅  Minimal overhead – Set up quickly with a clean, modern UI
✅  Customizable – Easily tailor it to match your brand
✅  Open-source & free – Because great tools should be accessible to everyone

What's in a Name?

“Kener” is inspired by the Assamese word “Kene”, meaning “how’s it going?”. The ‘.ing’ was added because, well… that domain was available. 😄

Quick Start

Get Kener running in minutes.

Docker (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/rajnandan1/kener.git
cd kener

# Uses docker-compose.yml (includes Redis + Kener)
# Set a strong KENER_SECRET_KEY and ORIGIN in docker-compose.yml before first run
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:3000.

[!IMPORTANT] Set a strong KENER_SECRET_KEY and set ORIGIN to your public URL before starting for the first time.

Use docker-compose.dev.yml when you want to build from local source instead of pulling the published image:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

Or combine both files to keep base production config while overriding Kener with a local build:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

Run pre-built image

You can use either image:

• docker.io/rajnandan1/kener:latest
• ghcr.io/rajnandan1/kener:latest

For subpath deployments (/status), use:

• docker.io/rajnandan1/kener:latest-status
• docker.io/rajnandan1/kener:latest-status-alpine
• ghcr.io/rajnandan1/kener:latest-status
• ghcr.io/rajnandan1/kener:latest-status-alpine

mkdir -p database
docker run -d \
	--name kener \
	-p 3000:3000 \
	-v "$(pwd)/database:/app/database" \
	-e "KENER_SECRET_KEY=replace_with_a_random_string" \
	-e "ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000" \
	-e "REDIS_URL=redis://host.docker.internal:6379" \
	docker.io/rajnandan1/kener:latest

Run pre-built subpath image (/status)

mkdir -p database
docker run -d \
	--name kener-status \
	-p 3000:3000 \
	-v "$(pwd)/database:/app/database" \
	-e "KENER_SECRET_KEY=replace_with_a_random_string" \
	-e "ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000" \
	-e "KENER_BASE_PATH=/status" \
	-e "REDIS_URL=redis://host.docker.internal:6379" \
	docker.io/rajnandan1/kener:latest-status

[!NOTE] For subpath mode, keep ORIGIN as the site origin (http://localhost:3000), not http://localhost:3000/status.

Run without Docker

Requirements:

• Node.js >= 20
• Redis

git clone https://github.com/rajnandan1/kener.git
cd kener
npm install

# Start Redis (example)
docker run -d --name kener-redis -p 6379:6379 redis:7-alpine

npm run build
npm run start

Create a .env with at least:

KENER_SECRET_KEY=replace_with_a_random_string
ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379
PORT=3000
