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

  • Keep Kometa settings and open port 8080 In the Docker Compose example, map ./config and ./data to folders on your computer so your setup and library data survive restarts, and open port 8080 if you need to reach Kometa's web page. source
  • Install Quickstart dependencies before running If running locally, follow the install steps to clone the Quickstart repo, create a venv (a separate Python environment), install the required packages, then run quickstart.py; skipping this usually causes missing Python package errors. source
  • Add Ubuntu tray libraries before launch On Ubuntu, install the listed libxcb packages before launching Quickstart if you use the system tray; otherwise the tray icon may not appear correctly. source

Common questions

How should I persist Kometa data and expose its web page when running Quickstart in Docker?

Map ./config and ./data to folders on your computer so your setup and library data survive restarts. Open port 8080 if you need to reach Kometa's web page.

What local Python setup is required before running Quickstart?

Clone the Quickstart repo, create a venv, install the required packages, then run quickstart.py. Skipping this usually causes missing Python package errors.

Why might the Quickstart tray icon not appear on Ubuntu?

Install the listed libxcb packages before launching Quickstart if you use the system tray. Otherwise the tray icon may not appear correctly.
