TorStatus is, AFAIK, not maintained anymore.  But we developed Onionoo
[0] and Atlas [1] as a TorStatus replacement.  Onionoo provides Tor
status information in a JSON format and Atlas presents these data in a
nice human-readable format.  You could set up an Atlas mirror (which
only serves static content, because the heavy lifting is done via
JavaScript on the client) using the current Onionoo host as data source
or you could mirror both Onionoo and Atlas.  Happy to give you advice
how to set up Onionoo.  Bug reports, feature suggestions, and of course
patches would be highly appreciated.

Best,
Karsten
