Cachet
For more information on why I started developing Cachet, check out my blog post, for more read [What's next for Cachet?](What's next for Cachet?) A demo, deployed to Heroku.
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.

What Cachet is not
Here is a list of things that Cachet is not or does not do:
- It does not monitor your services. It works only as a way to display the status of your services. However, Cachet is able to recieve updates from third-party services via its API.
- It does not work on a plugin system. There are no monitoring services to extend.
- It's not a Twitter clone.
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!
