A simple status dashboard.

• Standalone - just Perl and some modules, no web server or database required
• REST API - including a public read-only one
• RSS feeds

Docker is the easiest way to get things running:

$ docker run --name=towncrier -d -p 8080:8080 robn/towncrier

If you have a system with a fairly recent Perl already, then Carton is your next best choice:

$ git clone https://github.com/robn/towncrier.git
$ cd towncrier
$ curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - Carton
$ carton install --deployment
$ carton exec plackup bin/app.pl

For production you'll need to know a little more about Perl webapp deployment. Go and read the docs for Carton and Dancer::Deployment.

Get Perl, get all the dependencies, run the program. This is the developer option, and you're expected to know what you're doing :)

You need to install the initial statuses and services. Look at bin/fixtures.sh to get started.

There's some knobs you can twiddle in config.yml.
