    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.

    First-install notes

    • Install the Bliss npm package Use npm (the JavaScript package manager) and run `npm install blissfuljs --save` in the folder where your code lives. The package name is blissfuljs, not bliss, so using the wrong name means your project won’t be able to use Bliss. source
    • Docker network and volume setup In Docker, map a local port to 3220 for the web interface and 3221 for the internal web server. Map a local volume to /config to store configuration data and to /music for the directory Bliss scans for your music library. source
