If you run your own Mastodon instance, you might want to create a status page at some point to report on any downtime.
If you also use the docker version of Mastodon, like I do, then I hope you find at least some of this page useful to get you rolling.
Here's a brief run-down of how you can make a bash script to check on whether docker containers are healthy, then use cron to periodically ping a heartbeat to an uptime/status page service like BetterUptime.

nfld.me now has a status page @ status.nfld.me!
It will be up even when the main site isn't to let you know:
- whether the site is down
- if it's down for scheduled maintenance
- if it's unscheduled downtime: whether it's been acknowledged (actively being fixed) and any status updates
nfld.me is now more searchable thanks to ElasticSearch which has just been added!
