Simple, modern looking server status page with administration and some nice features, that can run even on shared webhosting

server-status runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 27 minutes and hit 5 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
PHP 8.3 and MariaDB 10.11 are running, the server_status database has 11 tables with proper settings, and all pages (index, admin, install, API) respond with HTTP 200 and render correct content without warnings.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 96 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- MariaDB not installed in container8 minutes
- PHP not installed in container5 minutes
- PHP config had placeholder values2 minutes
- Database settings table empty caused null URLs in template2 minutes
- Session save path missing1 minute
- Install time
- 27 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 27 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 5 hit, 5 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://localhost:8085/index.php returned 200; curl http://localhost:8085/api/status.php returned valid JSON; curl -s http://localhost:8085/index.php | grep -c 'Warning' returned 0

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.
- `index.php` - 200, 8458 bytes, renders "Status - Server Status" with proper asset URLs
- `admin/index.php` - 200, 8680 bytes
- `install.php` - 200, 13607 bytes
- `api/status.php` - 200, returns valid JSON `[{"id":0,"name":"No services",...}]`
- No PHP warnings on index page (0 found)
**Errors encountered and fixed:**
1. No PHP in container → extracted PHP 8.3 from Ubuntu .deb packages and loaded `mysqli`/`mysqlnd` …
2. No MariaDB in container → extracted and configured MariaDB 10.11 from .deb packages, plus `libur…
3. PHP session path didn't exist → set `session.save_path=/tmp`
4. Database settings table empty → inserted default settings including `url` and `dbConfigVersion`
5. Config had placeholder values → wrote proper `config.php` with working DB connection
The minor warning in `api/status.php` (`Trying to access array offset on null in service.php:268`) …Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Installed in 27 minutes.
- Recovered from all 5 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.
- Measured 2 times, so the result is not a one-off.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/server-status)Questions
- Does server-status run?
- Yes. server-status runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 27 minutes, hitting 5 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test server-status?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 4e4eb2430553. 2 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test server-status?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.15: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does server-status take to install?
- 27 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does server-status need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing server-status?
- 5 things broke in the recorded run, and 5 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- Where is the evidence for server-status?
- All 2 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
