![Current progress](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7323096/Cachet.png)

For more information on why I started developing Cachet, check out my [blog post](http://james-brooks.uk/cachet/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=github-cachet), for more read [What's next for Cachet?]([What's next for Cachet?](http://james-brooks.uk/whats-next-for-cachet/)) [A demo, deployed to Heroku](https://status.cachethq.io).

**Currently in development. Things may change or break until a solid release has been announced.**

## Incompatibility

Cachet is currently unable to build assets under CentOS 6 and Debian Wheezy. This problem lies within the dependencies of our build setup, not Cachet itself. For more information see [this issue](https://github.com/cachethq/Cachet/issues/275).

## Features

- List your services components.
- Log incidents.
- Override status page colors.
- Apply a custom stylesheet to the status page.
- Markdown support for incident messages.
- RESTful API.
- Multilingual.

## Requirements

- PHP 5.4 or newer
- mcrypt extension
- Composer
- Node.js
    + Bower
    + Gulp

## Installation & Documentation

You can now find our documentation at [https://docs.cachethq.io](https://docs.cachethq.io) or, directly at [http://cachet.readme.io](http://cachet.readme.io).

## Quickstart with Docker

Run a DB container (you can either pass in environment variables for the DB, or mount a config with ```-v /my/database.php:/var/www/html/app/config/database.php```):

```
export DB_USERNAME=cachet
export DB_PASSWORD=cachet
export DB_DATABASE=cachet
docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_USER=$DB_USERNAME -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=$DB_PASSWORD -e MYSQL_DATABASE=$DB_DATABASE -d mysql
```

Initialize the DB if you havent yet:

```
docker run --link mysql:mysql -e DB_HOST=mysql -e DB_DATABASE=$DB_DATABASE -e DB_USERNAME=$DB_USERNAME -e DB_PASSWORD=$DB_PASSWORD cachethq/cachet:latest php artisan migrate
```

Run Cachet:

```
docker run -d --name cachet --link mysql:mysql -p 80:80 -e DB_HOST=mysql -e DB_DATABASE=$DB_DATABASE -e DB_USERNAME=$DB_USERNAME -e DB_PASSWORD=$DB_PASSWORD cachethq/cachet:latest
```

Now go to ```http://<ipdockerisboundto>/setup``` and have fun!
