Installation

StatusDock can be deployed in several ways. Choose the method that best fits your infrastructure.

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose (recommended)
• OR Node.js 20+ and PostgreSQL 15+

CMS Backend: StatusDock supports both Payload CMS (default) and Strapi v5. See the CMS Selection Guide to choose which backend to use.

Deployment Options

Option 1: Vercel (One-Click)

Deploy instantly to Vercel with a managed PostgreSQL database:

This will:

1. Create a new Vercel project
2. Provision a Vercel Postgres database
3. Prompt you to set PAYLOAD_SECRET (generate a random 32+ character string)

All configuration (site name, logos, services, notifications) is done through the admin panel — no code changes required.

Option 2: Docker Compose (Recommended for Self-Hosting)

The easiest way to self-host. See the Docker Compose guide for detailed instructions.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Docker-Hunterpedia/StatusDock.git
cd StatusDock

# Copy the example environment file
cp .env.example .env

# Edit the environment variables
nano .env

# Start the services
docker compose up -d

Option 3: Pre-built Docker Image

Pull the latest image from GitHub Container Registry:

docker pull ghcr.io/docker-hunterpedia/statusdock:latest

Run with your own PostgreSQL:

docker run -d \
  --name status-page \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URI=postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db \
  -e PAYLOAD_SECRET=your-secret-key \
  -e SERVER_URL=https://status.example.com \
  ghcr.io/docker-hunterpedia/statusdock:latest

Option 4: Build from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Docker-Hunterpedia/StatusDock.git
cd StatusDock

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the application
npm run build

# Start the production server
npm start

First-Time Setup

1. Access the Admin Panel

   Navigate to http://your-server:3000/admin

2. Create Admin User

   On first access, you’ll be prompted to create an admin account.

3. Configure Settings

   Configure your status page in the admin panel:

   • Configuration → Site Settings: Site name, description, favicon, logos
   • Configuration → Email Settings: SMTP settings for email notifications
   • Configuration → SMS Settings: Twilio settings for SMS notifications

4. Add Services

   Create service groups and services that represent your infrastructure.

5. Go Live

   Your status page is now accessible at http://your-server:3000

Choosing Your CMS Backend

StatusDock supports two powerful headless CMS backends: Payload CMS 3.x and Strapi v5. Both provide a full-featured admin panel for managing your status page content, and you can switch between them using the CMS_PROVIDER environment variable.

Quick Comparison

Payload CMS (Default)

Best for: Users who want the simplest setup and don’t need a separate CMS deployment.

Advantages

• 🚀 Zero Configuration — Pre-configured and ready to use
• 📦 Single Deployment — CMS runs within the same Next.js application
• 🔄 Automatic Migrations — Database schema managed automatically
• 🎯 Type-Safe — Generated TypeScript types for all collections
• 🐳 Docker-Friendly — Works out of the box with Docker Compose
• 💰 Cost-Effective — Single server instance needed

When to Choose Payload

• You want the fastest setup experience
• You’re deploying with Docker or Vercel
• You prefer an integrated solution
• You want automatic type generation
• You’re building a smaller-scale status page

Setup

No additional setup required! Just set the environment variables:

CMS_PROVIDER=payload  # or omit (payload is default)
DATABASE_URI=postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db
PAYLOAD_SECRET=your-32-character-secret-key

Strapi v5

Best for: Teams already using Strapi or who need a completely separate CMS deployment.

Advantages

• 🏢 Enterprise-Ready — Battle-tested in production
• 🔌 Ecosystem — Large plugin marketplace
• 👥 Established Community — Extensive documentation and support
• 🎨 Flexible Architecture — Completely decoupled from frontend
• 🗃️ Database Options — Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
• 🛡️ RBAC — Advanced role-based access control

When to Choose Strapi

• You’re already familiar with Strapi
• You want a completely decoupled architecture
• You need to reuse the CMS across multiple frontends
• You want access to Strapi’s plugin ecosystem
• You prefer MySQL or need multi-database support

Setup

Requires a separate Strapi deployment. See the Strapi Setup Guide for complete instructions.

CMS_PROVIDER=strapi
STRAPI_URL=http://localhost:1337
STRAPI_API_TOKEN=your-strapi-api-token

Feature Parity

Both CMS backends provide full access to all StatusDock features:

• ✅ Service and service group management
• ✅ Incident creation and updates
• ✅ Maintenance scheduling
• ✅ Subscriber management
• ✅ Email and SMS notifications
• ✅ Rich text content editing
• ✅ Media uploads
• ✅ User authentication and RBAC

The CMS adapter layer ensures that regardless of which backend you choose, your status page works identically.

Switching Between CMS Backends

You can switch between Payload and Strapi, but it requires data migration:

From Payload to Strapi

1. Export data from Payload database
2. Set up Strapi instance
3. Import data into Strapi
4. Update CMS_PROVIDER to strapi
5. Add Strapi connection environment variables

From Strapi to Payload

1. Export data from Strapi
2. Transform to Payload format
3. Update CMS_PROVIDER to payload
4. Run Payload migrations
5. Import data

Note: There is no automated migration tool yet. Manual data migration is required when switching backends.

docker compose up -d

Backup & Restore

Backup Database

docker compose exec db pg_dump -U statusdock statusdock_db > backup.sql

Restore Database

cat backup.sql | docker compose exec -T db psql -U statusdock statusdock_db

Backup Uploads

docker compose cp app:/app/public/media ./media-backup

Configuration

StatusDock is configured through environment variables and the admin panel.

CMS Provider Selection

StatusDock supports two CMS backends: Payload CMS (default) and Strapi v5. See the CMS Selection Guide for help choosing.

For Payload CMS (Default)

No additional configuration needed beyond the required variables below.

For Strapi v5

Additional variables required:

See the Strapi Setup Guide for complete setup instructions.

Environment Variables

Required

Note: On Vercel, both POSTGRES_URL and SERVER_URL are automatically detected:

• POSTGRES_URL is set when you add a Vercel Postgres database
• SERVER_URL falls back to VERCEL_PROJECT_PRODUCTION_URL or VERCEL_URL if not explicitly set

The app supports both DATABASE_URI and POSTGRES_URL for database connections.

Vercel Deployment

When deploying to Vercel, you need to configure Vercel Blob storage for media uploads (since Vercel’s filesystem is read-only):

Steps to set up Vercel Blob:

1. Go to your Vercel project dashboard
2. Navigate to Storage → Create Database → Blob
3. Copy the BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN from the environment variables
4. The token is automatically added to your deployment environment

Note: Media uploads will not work on Vercel without Vercel Blob storage configured.

Optional

SSO/OIDC Authentication (Optional)

Enable Single Sign-On with any OIDC-compliant identity provider (Keycloak, Okta, Auth0, Azure AD, Google).

Provider-Specific URLs

Keycloak:

OIDC_AUTH_URL=https://keycloak.example.com/realms/{realm}/protocol/openid-connect/auth
OIDC_TOKEN_URL=https://keycloak.example.com/realms/{realm}/protocol/openid-connect/token
OIDC_USERINFO_URL=https://keycloak.example.com/realms/{realm}/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo

Okta:

OIDC_AUTH_URL=https://{domain}.okta.com/oauth2/default/v1/authorize
OIDC_TOKEN_URL=https://{domain}.okta.com/oauth2/default/v1/token
OIDC_USERINFO_URL=https://{domain}.okta.com/oauth2/default/v1/userinfo

Auth0:

OIDC_AUTH_URL=https://{tenant}.auth0.com/authorize
OIDC_TOKEN_URL=https://{tenant}.auth0.com/oauth/token
OIDC_USERINFO_URL=https://{tenant}.auth0.com/userinfo

Azure AD:

OIDC_AUTH_URL=https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
OIDC_TOKEN_URL=https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token
OIDC_USERINFO_URL=https://graph.microsoft.com/oidc/userinfo

Google:

OIDC_AUTH_URL=https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth
OIDC_TOKEN_URL=https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
OIDC_USERINFO_URL=https://openidconnect.googleapis.com/v1/userinfo

Callback URL

When configuring your identity provider, set the callback/redirect URL to:

https://your-status-page.com/api/users/oauth/callback

Group-Based Access Control

To restrict access to specific groups from your identity provider:

1. Configure your IdP to include group claims in the userinfo response
2. Set OIDC_ALLOWED_GROUPS to a comma-separated list of allowed groups
3. If your IdP uses a different claim name, set OIDC_GROUP_CLAIM

Example Keycloak Setup:

1. Create a client scope named “groups” with a Group Membership mapper:
   • Token Claim Name: groups
   • Add to userinfo: On
2. Add the scope to your client
3. Configure the status page:

OIDC_SCOPES=openid profile email groups
OIDC_ALLOWED_GROUPS=status-page-admins,status-page-editors

SSO-Only Mode

To disable password login and require SSO for all users:

OIDC_DISABLE_LOCAL_LOGIN=true

Warning: Ensure SSO is working correctly before enabling this option, or you may lock yourself out!

Admin Panel Settings

The admin panel has three configuration sections under Configuration:

Site Settings

Services

Services are individual components within a group.

Creating a Service

1. Go to Status → Services
2. Click Create New
3. Fill in:
   • Name - Display name (e.g., “API Gateway”)
   • Description - Brief description
   • Service Group - Which group it belongs to
   • Status - Current operational status
4. Click Save

Service Statuses

Automatic Status Updates

Service status is automatically updated when:

• An incident is created affecting the service
• An incident is resolved
• A maintenance window starts or ends

You can also manually update the status at any time.

Best Practices

Naming

• Use clear, user-facing names
• Avoid internal jargon
• Be consistent with naming conventions

Grouping

• Group by function (e.g., “Core”, “APIs”, “Integrations”)
• Keep groups manageable (5-10 services each)
• Consider your users’ perspective

Granularity

• Not too broad (users need to know what’s affected)
• Not too narrow (too many services is overwhelming)
• Aim for 10-30 total services for most deployments

Managing Incidents

Incidents represent unplanned service disruptions or issues affecting your infrastructure.

Creating an Incident

1. Go to Status → Incidents
2. Click Create New
3. Fill in the incident details:
   • Title - Brief description (e.g., “API Gateway Latency Issues”)
   • Affected Services - Select impacted services
   • Status - Current investigation status
   • Impact - Severity level
4. Click Save

A notification draft is automatically created when you save.

Incident Statuses

Status Flow

Investigating → Identified → Monitoring → Resolved

You can skip statuses if appropriate (e.g., go directly to Resolved for quick fixes).

Impact Levels

Adding Updates

As the incident progresses, add updates to the timeline:

1. Open the incident
2. Scroll to Updates
3. Click Add Update
4. Fill in:
   • Status - Current status
   • Message - Update details
   • Created At - When this update occurred
5. Click Save

A new notification draft is automatically created for each update.

Resolving an Incident

1. Open the incident
2. Change Status to “Resolved”
3. The Resolved At timestamp is automatically set
4. Click Save
5. Review and send the final notification

Incident Permalinks

Each incident gets a unique short ID (e.g., abc123) that creates a permanent link:

https://status.example.com/i/abc123

This link is included in notifications and remains valid even if the title changes.

Best Practices

Titles

• Be specific but concise
• Include the affected component
• Avoid blame or technical jargon

Good: “Payment Processing Delays” Bad: “Database server crashed due to OOM killer”

Updates

• Post updates every 30-60 minutes during active incidents
• Be honest about what you know and don’t know
• Set expectations for next update

Resolution

• Confirm the issue is fully resolved before closing
• Include a brief summary of what happened
• Thank users for their patience

Managing Maintenances

Maintenances represent planned service interruptions or maintenance windows.

Creating a Maintenance

1. Go to Status → Maintenances
2. Click Create New
3. Fill in the maintenance details:
   • Title - Brief description (e.g., “Database Migration”)
   • Description - Detailed explanation (optional)
   • Affected Services - Select impacted services
   • Scheduled Start - When maintenance begins
   • Scheduled End - When maintenance ends (optional)
   • Duration - Human-readable duration (e.g., “~2 hours”)
4. Click Save

A notification draft is automatically created when you save.

Maintenance Statuses

Auto-Status Updates

Enable automatic status transitions:

• Auto-start on schedule - Automatically changes to “In Progress” when the scheduled start time is reached
• Auto-complete on schedule - Automatically changes to “Completed” when the scheduled end time is reached

These can be enabled/disabled per maintenance.

Adding Updates

During maintenance, add updates to keep users informed:

1. Open the maintenance
2. Scroll to Updates
3. Click Add Update
4. Fill in:
   • Status - Current status
   • Message - Progress update
   • Created At - When this update occurred
5. Click Save

A new notification draft is automatically created for each update.

Maintenance Permalinks

Each maintenance gets a unique short ID (e.g., xyz789) that creates a permanent link:

https://status.example.com/m/xyz789

Notification Content

Initial Notification (Email)

A maintenance window has been scheduled.

Scheduled Start: Sat, Jan 11 at 2:00 AM

Best Practices

Scheduling

• Schedule during low-traffic periods
• Give users at least 24-48 hours notice
• Avoid scheduling during holidays or major events

Communication

• Be clear about what will be affected
• Provide estimated duration
• Notify at key milestones (start, 50%, complete)

Timing

• Send initial notification 24-48 hours before
• Send reminder 1-2 hours before
• Send “started” notification when beginning
• Send “completed” notification when done

Notification Workflow

Yet Another Status Page includes a powerful notification system that automatically creates notification drafts and allows you to review before sending.

How It Works

┌──────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐
│  Create/Update   │ ──▶ │  Draft Created   │ ──▶ │  Review & Send   │
│  Incident or     │     │  Automatically   │     │  from Admin      │
│  Maintenance     │     │                  │     │                  │
└──────────────────┘     └──────────────────┘     └──────────────────┘

Automatic Draft Creation

Notification drafts are automatically created when:

1. New Incident Created - A draft with incident details is created
2. Incident Updated - When you add an update to the timeline, a new draft is created
3. New Maintenance Scheduled - A draft with schedule details is created
4. Maintenance Updated - When you add an update, a new draft is created

Manual Review & Send

Notifications are never sent automatically. You must:

1. Go to Notifications → Notifications
2. Review the draft content
3. Edit if needed
4. Click Send Notification Now

This gives you full control over what gets sent to subscribers.

Notification Statuses

Notification Channels

Each notification can be sent via:

• Email - Sends to email subscribers only
• SMS - Sends to SMS subscribers only
• Both - Sends to all subscribers

Email Notifications

Content

Email notifications include:

• Subject line
• Formatted HTML body
• Call-to-action button linking to the status page
• Unsubscribe link (required for compliance)

Headers

Emails automatically include:

• List-Unsubscribe header for one-click unsubscribe
• List-Unsubscribe-Post header for RFC 8058 compliance

Configuration

Configure SMTP in Configuration → Email Settings:

• Enable Email Subscriptions toggle
• SMTP Host, Port, Security
• Authentication credentials
• From address and name

SMS Notifications

Content

SMS messages are generated from customizable templates and include:

• Site name prefix
• Emoji indicator (🚨 incident, 🔧 maintenance)
• Title and status
• Scheduled times (for maintenance)
• Link to status page

Configuration

Configure Twilio in Configuration → SMS Settings:

• Enable SMS Subscriptions toggle
• Account SID
• Auth Token
• From phone number OR Messaging Service SID

SMS Templates

You can customize SMS message templates in Configuration → SMS Settings under the “SMS Templates” section. Available placeholders:

• {{siteName}} - Your site name
• {{title}} - Incident/maintenance title
• {{status}} - Current status
• {{message}} - Update message
• {{schedule}} - Maintenance schedule
• {{url}} - Link to the page

Configure Title Max Length and Message Max Length to control how content is truncated to fit SMS limits.

Recipient Count

The notification form shows the estimated recipient count based on:

• Selected channel (Email/SMS/Both)
• Active subscribers matching that channel

After sending, it shows the actual number of recipients.

Retrying Failed Notifications

If a notification fails:

1. The error message is displayed in the notification form
2. The Retry Send button allows you to attempt again
3. Fix any configuration issues before retrying

Common failure reasons:

• SMTP not configured
• Twilio not configured
• Invalid credentials
• Network issues

Best Practices

Writing Notifications

1. Be concise - Get to the point quickly
2. Include impact - What services are affected?
3. Set expectations - When will it be resolved?
4. Provide updates - Keep subscribers informed

Timing

1. Send promptly - Notify as soon as you’re aware
2. Update regularly - Post updates at least hourly during incidents
3. Confirm resolution - Always send a final “resolved” notification

Testing

1. Create a test subscriber (your email/phone)
2. Create a test incident
3. Send the notification to verify delivery
4. Delete test data when done

Subscribers

Managing Subscribers

Go to Notifications → Subscribers to:

• View all subscribers
• Add subscribers manually
• Deactivate subscribers
• See subscription type (email/SMS)

Subscription Types

• Email - Requires valid email address
• SMS - Requires phone number with country code

Active vs Inactive

• Active - Will receive notifications
• Inactive - Opted out or deactivated

Subscribers can unsubscribe via the link in emails, which sets them to inactive.

Automation & Jobs Queue

Notifications are sent via a background jobs queue:

• Prevents timeouts for large subscriber lists
• Automatic retries on failure (up to 3 attempts)
• Progress tracking in the notification status

The queue processes immediately in development and can be scaled with workers in production.

Managing Subscribers

Subscribers receive notifications about incidents and maintenance windows.

Subscription Types

Each subscriber has one type. Users who want both should create two subscriptions.

Adding Subscribers

Manual Addition

1. Go to Notifications → Subscribers
2. Click Create New
3. Fill in:
   • Type - Email or SMS
   • Email - Email address (for email type)
   • Phone - Phone number with country code (for SMS type)
   • Verified - Whether the subscription is verified
   • Active - Whether to send notifications
4. Click Save

Public Subscription

Users can subscribe via the public status page:

1. Click the “Subscribe” button on the status page
2. Enter their email or phone number
3. They appear in the Subscribers list

Subscriber Fields

Active vs Inactive

• Active - Subscriber will receive notifications
• Inactive - Subscriber will NOT receive notifications

Subscribers become inactive when:

• They click the unsubscribe link in an email
• An admin manually deactivates them

Unsubscribe Flow

Each email includes an unsubscribe link:

https://status.example.com/unsubscribe/{token}

When clicked:

1. User sees a confirmation message
2. Subscription is set to inactive
3. They no longer receive notifications

The unsubscribe link is unique per subscriber and doesn’t expire.

Phone Number Format

SMS phone numbers must include the country code:

• ✅ +14155551234 (US)
• ✅ +442071234567 (UK)
• ✅ +33123456789 (France)
• ❌ 415-555-1234 (missing country code)
• ❌ (415) 555-1234 (missing country code)

Verification

The Verified field indicates whether the email/phone has been confirmed.

For manually added subscribers, you can set this to true if you’ve verified the contact information.

Bulk Operations

To deactivate multiple subscribers:

1. Select subscribers in the list view
2. Use bulk actions to update

Privacy Considerations

• Store only necessary contact information
• Provide easy unsubscribe options
• Respect unsubscribe requests immediately
• Consider data retention policies

Local Development Setup

This guide explains how to set up StatusDock for local development.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• PostgreSQL 15+ (or Docker)
• npm or pnpm

CMS Backend Choice

StatusDock supports both Payload CMS (default) and Strapi v5. This guide covers Payload CMS setup. For Strapi development, see the Strapi Setup Guide.

Quick Start with Docker (Payload CMS)

The easiest way to develop locally is using the included Docker Compose configuration.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Docker-Hunterpedia/StatusDock.git
cd StatusDock

# Start the development environment
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d postgres  # Start only the database

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run database migrations
npm run payload migrate

# Start the development server
npm run dev

Visit:

• Status page: http://localhost:3333
• Admin panel: http://localhost:3333/admin

Note: The dev compose file uses port 3333 to avoid conflicts with production on port 3000.

Manual Setup

1. Install PostgreSQL

# macOS with Homebrew
brew install postgresql@16
brew services start postgresql@16

# Create database
createdb statusdock_db

2. Clone and Install

git clone https://github.com/Docker-Hunterpedia/StatusDock.git
cd StatusDock
npm install

3. Configure Environment

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

DATABASE_URI=postgres://localhost:5432/statusdock_db
PAYLOAD_SECRET=your-development-secret-key
SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3000

4. Run Migrations

npm run payload migrate

5. Start Development Server

npm run dev

CMS Adapter Layer

StatusDock uses an adapter pattern to support multiple CMS backends. The adapter layer provides a unified interface that works with both Payload CMS and Strapi v5.

Key Benefits

• CMS Agnostic Code - Frontend and API routes work with either backend
• Type Safety - Shared TypeScript types across both CMS implementations
• Easy Migration - Switch CMS backends with minimal code changes
• Consistent API - Same methods regardless of underlying CMS

Adapter Interface

interface CMSAdapter {
  // Collections
  find<T>(collection: string, options: FindOptions): Promise<PaginatedDocs<T>>
  findById<T>(collection: string, id: string, depth?: number): Promise<T>
  create<T>(collection: string, data: any): Promise<T>
  update<T>(collection: string, id: string, data: any): Promise<T>
  delete(collection: string, id: string): Promise<void>
  count(collection: string, where?: Where): Promise<number>
  
  // Globals (Settings)
  findGlobal<T>(slug: string): Promise<T>
  updateGlobal<T>(slug: string, data: any): Promise<T>
}

Usage Example

import { getCMS } from '@/lib/cms'

// Works with both Payload and Strapi
const cms = getCMS()  // Auto-detects based on CMS_PROVIDER env var
const services = await cms.find('services', { limit: 50 })

See the CMS Adapter Usage Guide for detailed documentation.

Key Design Decisions

Why Multiple CMS Options?

StatusDock offers both Payload CMS and Strapi v5 to provide flexibility:

Payload CMS Benefits:

• Modern, TypeScript-first CMS
• Zero-configuration setup
• Integrated deployment (single app)
• Excellent admin UI out of the box
• Built-in authentication
• Jobs queue for background tasks

Strapi v5 Benefits:

• Established, battle-tested platform
• Large plugin ecosystem
• Completely decoupled architecture
• Multi-database support
• Advanced RBAC
• Independent scaling

The CMS adapter layer ensures feature parity between both options.

Why CMS Adapter Pattern?

• Flexibility - Switch CMS backends without rewriting frontend code
• Maintainability - Centralized CMS logic reduces duplication
• Testing - Easier to mock CMS operations in tests
• Future-Proofing - Can add more CMS backends (Directus, Contentful, etc.)

Why Next.js App Router?

• Server components for performance
• Streaming and suspense support
• Built-in API routes
• Excellent developer experience

Why PostgreSQL?

• Robust and reliable
• Excellent JSON support
• Widely supported
• Easy to backup and scale

Why Separate Notifications Collection?

• Audit trail of all notifications
• Review before sending
• Retry failed notifications
• Clear status tracking

Scaling Considerations

Horizontal Scaling

• Application is stateless
• Can run multiple instances behind load balancer
• Shared PostgreSQL database

Database

• Connection pooling (PgBouncer)
• Read replicas for high traffic
• Regular backups

Jobs Queue

• Can add dedicated worker processes
• Automatic retries on failure
• Scales with subscriber count

Strapi v5 Setup Guide for StatusDock

This guide explains how to set up and use Strapi v5 as an alternative CMS for StatusDock.

Overview

StatusDock supports both PayloadCMS and Strapi v5 as headless CMS backends. You can choose which one to use via the CMS_PROVIDER environment variable.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20.x or higher
• PostgreSQL 16 or higher
• npm or yarn package manager

Quick Start

1. Create a Strapi Project

# Create a new Strapi project in a separate directory
npx create-strapi-app@latest statusdock-strapi --quickstart

# Or with PostgreSQL from the start
npx create-strapi-app@latest statusdock-strapi \
  --dbclient=postgres \
  --dbhost=localhost \
  --dbport=5432 \
  --dbname=statusdock_strapi \
  --dbusername=postgres \
  --dbpassword=postgres

2. Install Required Plugins

cd statusdock-strapi
npm install @strapi/plugin-users-permissions

3. Configure Content Types

Strapi v5 requires you to define content types (equivalent to PayloadCMS collections). You can do this either:

Option A: Using the Admin Panel (Recommended for beginners)

1. Start Strapi: npm run develop
2. Access the admin panel at http://localhost:1337/admin
3. Create your first admin user
4. Navigate to Content-Type Builder
5. Create the following collection types and single types as detailed below

Option B: Using JSON Schema Files (Recommended for production)

Copy the schema files from docs/strapi/schema/ directory to your Strapi project’s src/api/ directory.

Authentication & Security Setup

1. Generate API Tokens

1. In Strapi admin panel, navigate to Settings → API Tokens
2. Create a new API token with the following settings:
   • Name: StatusDock API
   • Token type: Full access (or customize per collection)
   • Duration: Unlimited
3. Copy the generated token and save it as STRAPI_API_TOKEN in your .env file

2. Configure Permissions

1. Navigate to Settings → Users & Permissions → Roles
2. For the Public role:
   • Enable find and findOne for: service-groups, services, incidents, maintenances
   • Enable find for: setting, email-setting (read-only for public display)
   • DO NOT enable any write operations for public
3. For the Authenticated role:
   • Enable all operations as needed for authenticated users

3. Enable CORS

Edit config/middlewares.js in your Strapi project:

module.exports = [
  'strapi::logger',
  'strapi::errors',
  {
    name: 'strapi::security',
    config: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        useDefaults: true,
        directives: {
          'connect-src': ["'self'", 'https:'],
          'img-src': ["'self'", 'data:', 'blob:', 'https:'],
          'media-src': ["'self'", 'data:', 'blob:', 'https:'],
          upgradeInsecureRequests: null,
        },
      },
    },
  },
  {
    name: 'strapi::cors',
    config: {
      origin: ['http://localhost:3000', process.env.SERVER_URL],
      credentials: true,
    },
  },
  'strapi::poweredBy',
  'strapi::query',
  'strapi::body',
  'strapi::session',
  'strapi::favicon',
  'strapi::public',
];

Configure StatusDock to Use Strapi

1. Update Environment Variables

In your StatusDock .env file:

# CMS Provider
CMS_PROVIDER=strapi

# Strapi Configuration
STRAPI_URL=http://localhost:1337
STRAPI_API_TOKEN=your-generated-api-token
STRAPI_ADMIN_TOKEN=your-admin-token-if-needed

# Database (still needed for StatusDock operations)
DATABASE_URI=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/statusdock_strapi

# Server
SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3000

2. Start Both Services

# Terminal 1: Start Strapi
cd statusdock-strapi
npm run develop

# Terminal 2: Start StatusDock
cd StatusDock
npm run dev

Docker Deployment

See the updated docker-compose.yml for a complete example of running StatusDock with Strapi.

Migration from PayloadCMS

If you’re migrating from PayloadCMS:

1. Export data from PayloadCMS using the REST API
2. Transform the data to match Strapi’s format
3. Import into Strapi using the REST API or admin panel
4. Update CMS_PROVIDER to strapi
5. Verify all functionality works as expected

Security Best Practices

1. Always use HTTPS in production
2. Store API tokens in environment variables, never in code
3. Use short-lived JWT tokens with regular rotation
4. Limit API token permissions to only what’s needed
5. Enable rate limiting to prevent abuse
6. Regularly update Strapi to get security patches
7. Use strong passwords for admin accounts
8. Enable 2FA for admin accounts if available

Troubleshooting

Issue: API requests failing with 401 Unauthorized

Solution: Check that:

• STRAPI_API_TOKEN is set correctly
• The token has proper permissions in Strapi admin panel
• CORS is configured correctly

Issue: Content not appearing on frontend

Solution: Verify:

• Public role has proper read permissions
• Content is published (if using draft & publish)
• Strapi is running and accessible

Issue: Relations not populating

Solution: Ensure:

• Relations are properly configured in content types
• Using ?populate=* in API queries
• The depth parameter is set appropriately

CMS Adapter Usage Guide

This guide shows developers how to use the CMS abstraction layer in StatusDock to write code that works with both PayloadCMS and Strapi.

Overview

StatusDock uses an adapter pattern to abstract CMS operations. This allows the same code to work with either PayloadCMS or Strapi, depending on configuration.

Basic Usage

Importing the CMS Adapter

import { getCMS } from '@/lib/cms'
import type { Service, Incident, Settings } from '@/lib/cms/types'

Getting Data from Collections

Find Multiple Documents

// Get all services
const cms = getCMS()
const services = await cms.find<Service>('services', {
  limit: 100,
  sort: '_order',
  depth: 1,
})

// services.docs contains the array of services
// services.totalDocs, services.page, etc. contain pagination info

Find with Filters

// Get services with a specific status
const cms = getCMS()
const operationalServices = await cms.find<Service>('services', {
  where: {
    status: { equals: 'operational' },
  },
  limit: 50,
})

// Get incidents that are not resolved
const activeIncidents = await cms.find<Incident>('incidents', {
  where: {
    status: { not_equals: 'resolved' },
  },
  sort: '-createdAt',
})

Find One Document

// Find a service by slug
const cms = getCMS()
const service = await cms.findOne<Service>('services', {
  slug: { equals: 'api-gateway' },
})

// Returns null if not found
if (service) {
  console.log(`Found service: ${service.name}`)
}

Find by ID

// Get a specific incident by ID
const cms = getCMS()
const incident = await cms.findByID<Incident>('incidents', incidentId, 2)
// The third parameter is depth for populating relations

Working with Global Settings

import { getSettings, getEmailSettings, getSmsSettings } from '@/lib/cms/settings'

// Get site settings
const settings = await getSettings()
console.log(`Site name: ${settings.siteName}`)

// Get email configuration
const emailSettings = await getEmailSettings()
console.log(`SMTP host: ${emailSettings.smtpHost}`)

// Get SMS configuration
const smsSettings = await getSmsSettings()
console.log(`Twilio number: ${smsSettings.twilioPhoneNumber}`)

Creating Documents

// Create a new notification
const cms = getCMS()
const notification = await cms.create<Notification>('notifications', {
  title: 'Incident Update',
  relatedIncident: incidentId,
  channel: 'both',
  status: 'draft',
  subject: 'Service Degradation',
  emailBody: 'We are experiencing issues...',
  smsBody: 'Service issue detected',
})

Updating Documents

// Update an incident
const cms = getCMS()
const updatedIncident = await cms.update<Incident>('incidents', incidentId, {
  status: 'resolved',
  resolvedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
})

Deleting Documents

// Delete a notification
const cms = getCMS()
await cms.delete('notifications', notificationId)

Queueing Background Jobs

// Queue a notification to be sent
const cms = getCMS()
await cms.queueJob('sendNotificationFromCollection', {
  notificationId: notification.id,
  channel: 'both',
  subject: 'Incident Update',
  emailBody: 'Status has changed...',
  smsBody: 'Update: ...',
  itemTitle: incident.title,
  itemUrl: `${siteUrl}/i/${incident.shortId}`,
})

Collection Names

The following collection names are supported:

• service-groups - Service groups
• services - Individual services
• incidents - Incident reports
• maintenances - Scheduled maintenance
• notifications - Notification queue
• subscribers - Email/SMS subscribers
• users - Admin users
• media - Media files

Global Slugs

The following global settings slugs are supported:

• settings - General site settings
• email-settings - SMTP configuration
• sms-settings - Twilio configuration

Query Operators

The adapter supports the following query operators in the where clause:

• equals - Exact match
• not_equals - Not equal to
• greater_than - Greater than
• greater_than_equal - Greater than or equal to
• less_than - Less than
• less_than_equal - Less than or equal to
• like / contains - Text contains
• in - Value in array
• not_in - Value not in array
• exists - Field exists/is not null

Example:

const cms = getCMS()
const recentIncidents = await cms.find<Incident>('incidents', {
  where: {
    createdAt: { greater_than: '2024-01-01T00:00:00Z' },
    status: { in: ['investigating', 'identified'] },
  },
})

Populating Relations

Use the depth parameter to control how deeply relations are populated:

// Depth 0: Don't populate relations (only IDs)
const servicesNoRelations = await cms.find<Service>('services', { depth: 0 })

// Depth 1: Populate direct relations (default)
const servicesWithGroup = await cms.find<Service>('services', { depth: 1 })
// service.group is now the full ServiceGroup object

// Depth 2: Populate nested relations
const incidentsWithServices = await cms.find<Incident>('incidents', { depth: 2 })
// incident.affectedServices[0].group is now fully populated

Complete Example: Frontend Page

Here’s a complete example of using the CMS adapter in a Next.js page:

import { getCMS } from '@/lib/cms'
import { getSettings } from '@/lib/cms/settings'
import type { Service, ServiceGroup, Incident } from '@/lib/cms/types'

export default async function StatusPage() {
  const cms = getCMS()
  const settings = await getSettings()

  // Get all service groups with their services
  const serviceGroups = await cms.find<ServiceGroup>('service-groups', {
    depth: 2,
    sort: '_order',
    limit: 100,
  })

  // Get all services
  const services = await cms.find<Service>('services', {
    depth: 1,
    sort: '_order',
    limit: 100,
  })

  // Get active incidents
  const incidents = await cms.find<Incident>('incidents', {
    where: {
      status: { not_equals: 'resolved' },
    },
    sort: '-createdAt',
    limit: 10,
  })

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{settings.siteName} Status</h1>
      
      {/* Render service groups and services */}
      {serviceGroups.docs.map((group) => (
        <div key={group.id}>
          <h2>{group.name}</h2>
          {/* Render services for this group */}
        </div>
      ))}

      {/* Render active incidents */}
      {incidents.docs.length > 0 && (
        <div>
          <h2>Active Incidents</h2>
          {incidents.docs.map((incident) => (
            <div key={incident.id}>
              <h3>{incident.title}</h3>
              <p>Status: {incident.status}</p>
            </div>
          ))}
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}

Complete Example: API Route

Here’s an example of using the CMS adapter in an API route:

import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { getCMS } from '@/lib/cms'
import type { Subscriber } from '@/lib/cms/types'

export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
  try {
    const { email, services } = await request.json()

    const cms = getCMS()

    // Check if subscriber already exists
    const existing = await cms.findOne<Subscriber>('subscribers', {
      email: { equals: email },
    })

    if (existing) {
      return NextResponse.json(
        { error: 'Already subscribed' },
        { status: 400 }
      )
    }

    // Create new subscriber
    const subscriber = await cms.create<Subscriber>('subscribers', {
      type: 'email',
      email,
      subscribedServices: services,
      verified: false,
      unsubscribeToken: generateToken(),
    })

    return NextResponse.json({ success: true, id: subscriber.id })
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Subscription error:', error)
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'Failed to subscribe' },
      { status: 500 }
    )
  }
}

Type Safety

The CMS adapter is fully typed with TypeScript. Use the provided types from @/lib/cms/types for type safety:

import type {
  Service,
  Incident,
  Maintenance,
  Notification,
  Subscriber,
  Settings,
  EmailSettings,
  SmsSettings,
} from '@/lib/cms/types'

1. Use the Adapter: Always use getCMS() instead of directly importing Payload or Strapi clients
2. Type Your Queries: Always specify the type parameter: cms.find<Service>(...)
3. Handle Nulls: findOne can return null, always check before using
4. Use Depth Wisely: Deep population (depth > 2) can be slow, use only when needed
5. Cache Settings: Use the provided getSettings() helper which caches results
6. Error Handling: Wrap CMS operations in try-catch blocks
7. Pagination: Use limit and page parameters for large datasets

Differences from Direct Payload Usage

If you’re migrating existing code that used Payload directly:

Before (Payload-specific):

import { getPayload } from 'payload'
import config from '@payload-config'

const payload = await getPayload({ config })
const services = await payload.find({
  collection: 'services',
  limit: 100,
})

After (CMS-agnostic):

import { getCMS } from '@/lib/cms'
import type { Service } from '@/lib/cms/types'

const cms = getCMS()
const services = await cms.find<Service>('services', {
  limit: 100,
})

Testing

When testing, you can mock the CMS adapter:

import { getCMS } from '@/lib/cms'

jest.mock('@/lib/cms', () => ({
  getCMS: jest.fn(() => ({
    find: jest.fn(),
    findByID: jest.fn(),
    create: jest.fn(),
    // ... other methods
  })),
}))

Troubleshooting

Issue: TypeScript errors about return types

Solution: Make sure you’re importing types from @/lib/cms/types and specifying the type parameter in queries.

Issue: Relations not populated

Solution: Increase the depth parameter or ensure relations are properly configured in your CMS.

Issue: Query operators not working

Solution: Check that you’re using the correct operator names (see Query Operators section above).

Strapi v5 Integration - Implementation Summary

Overview

This document summarizes the implementation of Strapi v5 support for StatusDock, providing an alternative headless CMS option to PayloadCMS.

What Was Implemented

1. CMS Abstraction Layer

Location: src/lib/cms/

Created a complete abstraction layer using the adapter pattern:

• types.ts: Unified TypeScript interfaces for all CMS operations
• payload-adapter.ts: PayloadCMS implementation
• strapi-adapter.ts: Strapi v5 implementation
• index.ts: Factory pattern for runtime CMS selection
• settings.ts: Cached helpers for global settings

2. Key Features

Unified Interface

All CMS operations go through a consistent API:

const cms = getCMS()
const services = await cms.find<Service>('services', { limit: 100 })

Runtime Selection

Choose CMS via environment variable:

CMS_PROVIDER=payload  # Default
CMS_PROVIDER=strapi   # Alternative

Backward Compatibility

Existing code continues working without modifications:

• getCachedPayload() still available (with Payload only)
• getSettings() works with both CMSs
• No breaking changes

3. Adapter Methods

Both adapters implement:

• find() - Query collections with filters, sorting, pagination
• count() - Count documents efficiently
• findByID() - Get document by ID
• findOne() - Find single document by criteria
• create() - Create new documents
• update() - Update existing documents
• delete() - Delete documents
• findGlobal() - Get global settings
• updateGlobal() - Update global settings
• queueJob() - Queue background tasks

4. Strapi-Specific Features

Content Type Mapping

Maps PayloadCMS collection names to Strapi equivalents:

• service-groups → service-groups
• services → services
• incidents → incidents
• maintenances → maintenances
• notifications → notifications
• subscribers → subscribers
• users → users
• media → upload/files

Query Translation

Automatically translates PayloadCMS query syntax to Strapi:

• Filter operators: equals, not_equals, greater_than, etc.
• Sorting: -field for descending
• Pagination: page-based
• Relations: depth-based population

API Client

HTTP-based REST API client with:

• JWT authentication
• Admin token support
• Proper error handling
• Type-safe responses

Usage Examples

For Application Developers

// Import CMS adapter
import { getCMS } from '@/lib/cms'
import type { Service } from '@/lib/cms/types'

// Use in server components
export default async function Page() {
  const cms = getCMS()
  const services = await cms.find<Service>('services', {
    where: { status: { equals: 'operational' } },
    limit: 50,
  })
  
  return <div>{/* render services */}</div>
}

For API Routes

import { getCMS } from '@/lib/cms'
import type { Notification } from '@/lib/cms/types'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const cms = getCMS()
  
  const notification = await cms.create<Notification>('notifications', {
    title: 'Incident Update',
    status: 'draft',
    channel: 'both',
  })
  
  return Response.json({ id: notification.id })
}

Settings Access

import { getSettings } from '@/lib/payload'
// Or: import { getSettings } from '@/lib/cms/settings'

const settings = await getSettings()
console.log(settings.siteName)

REST API

StatusDock provides a REST API for programmatic access to status data.

Note: The API structure is consistent regardless of whether you’re using Payload CMS or Strapi as your backend, thanks to the CMS adapter layer.

Base URL

https://your-status-page.com/api

Authentication

Most read endpoints are public. Admin endpoints require authentication via:

• Session cookie (from admin login)
• API key header: Authorization: Bearer <api-key>

Endpoints

Incidents

List Incidents

GET /api/incidents

Query parameters:

Get Incident

GET /api/incidents/:id

Maintenances

List Maintenances

GET /api/maintenances

Query parameters same as incidents.

Get Maintenance

GET /api/maintenances/:id

Services

List Services

GET /api/services

Get Service

GET /api/services/:id

Service Groups

List Service Groups

GET /api/service-groups

Get Service Group

GET /api/service-groups/:id

Subscribers

Subscribe

POST /api/subscribe
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "type": "email",
  "email": "user@example.com"
}

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Subscription successful"
}

Unsubscribe

POST /api/unsubscribe
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "token": "unsubscribe-token"
}

CMS Backend API

Depending on your CMS_PROVIDER setting, additional CMS-specific API endpoints are available:

Payload CMS

When using Payload CMS, the full Payload REST API is available at /api. See the Payload documentation for complete details.

Strapi v5

When using Strapi, access the Strapi API directly at your STRAPI_URL. See the Strapi documentation for details.

StatusDock’s frontend uses the unified CMS adapter layer, so the status page works the same regardless of backend.

Common Query Patterns

These patterns work with the StatusDock API endpoints:

Filtering

GET /api/incidents?where[status][equals]=investigating

Sorting

GET /api/incidents?sort=-createdAt

Pagination

GET /api/incidents?limit=10&page=2

Field Selection

GET /api/incidents?select[title]=true&select[status]=true

GraphQL

GraphQL endpoints are available depending on your CMS backend:

Payload CMS:

POST /api/graphql

GraphQL Playground (development only):

GET /api/graphql-playground

Strapi v5:

• GraphQL plugin must be installed separately
• Available at {STRAPI_URL}/graphql

Rate Limiting

Public endpoints are rate limited to prevent abuse:

• 100 requests per minute per IP for read endpoints
• 10 requests per minute per IP for subscribe endpoint

Error Responses

All errors follow this format:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Error description"
    }
  ]
}

Common HTTP status codes:
