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 Codex SDK package Pick the command for your package manager (the tool that installs software, like npm, yarn, or pnpm) and run it once. This installs the @codex-data/sdk package your code needs to connect to Codex; without it, your app can’t use the Codex API. source

Common questions
Which Docker image should I use now?
Use the GHCR image. The Docker Hub image is deprecated and only republished to warn you to switch.
Do I need a writable volume to edit comic metadata?
Yes, tag editing and online tagging write changes back to comic files, so the comics directory must be mounted writable with filesystem write permission.
Does Codex support Remote-User SSO from a reverse proxy?
Yes, it supports the Remote-User HTTP header for reverse-proxy SSO with tinyauth, Authelia, or Authentik proxy mode.
Can Codex serve OPDS catalogs?
It supports OPDS 1 and 2 with streaming, search, and authentication.
Can I make the whole library anonymous or require accounts?
You can choose anonymous browsing or registration-required mode. Private libraries can also be restricted to specific user groups.
