Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

What variable do I need to change if I do not host Wanderer at the local default address?

Set the ORIGIN variable to match the address you are using. Otherwise you will run into CORS errors.

Which secrets must I replace if I download the docker-compose file myself?

Replace MEILI_MASTER_KEY, POCKETBASE_ENCRYPTION_KEY, and POCKETBASE_PROXY_SECRET before starting the stack.

How long can the first startup take?

The first startup can take up to 90 seconds, after which the frontend is available on local port 3000.

Which backend technologies does the deployment rely on?

The backend is based on PocketBase and Meilisearch.

Can I run Wanderer without Docker?

Yes, it can be run on bare metal using the from-source installation documentation.
