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

Which port should Koito expose and how do I open the UI?

Expose port 4110 and open your server on that port in a browser.

Which volume should I mount in the provided Docker Compose example?

Mount a local directory to /etc/koito, such as ./koito:/etc/koito.

Do I need to set a database environment variable for a new installation?

New installations use SQLite as of v0.2.1. If you are running an older version, set KOITO_SQLITE_ENABLED=true.

Can Koito send listens to other scrobbling services?

Yes, it can automatically relay listens submitted to your Koito instance to other ListenBrainz-compatible servers.

Which external sources does Koito use for metadata?

It automatically fetches data from MusicBrainz and images from Deezer and Cover Art Archive.
