Create a nicer status page

[rwblickhan]

Please give a one-sentence summary of the feature you would like to see.

We have a status page but it's just a simple emoji and could be nicer.

Please give as many details as possible about the requirements for the feature.

I think the best way to implement this would be a simple React (or whatever?) frontend served on / (and only on /) that tried to contact a new /status endpoint and displayed a success message as appropriate.

[chuck-sys]

So this will be 2 things: a new /status endpoint that returns some data, and a frontend on / that parses the data from /status?

[rwblickhan]

Yes, I think that would make sense. That way we could still serve the static frontend via Nginx, which could then display a more useful error message when Rocket 2 is down.

[chuck-sys]

See #350, which encompasses this.

Reopening, since I think #350 should focus on a docs landing page (highlighting features, capabilities, etc), and this is more of a "status of Rocket" type deal

Closing in favour of more features and details in #565
