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 Docker and edit the compose file Install Docker (a way to run apps in packaged containers), start the Docker service (the background program that runs containers), clone the nightscout-docker repository, and edit docker-compose.yml (the file that tells Docker what to run) before running docker-compose up -d. If you skip the compose file edits, the setup may not start or may connect to the wrong places. source
  • LibreLink Up setup Create a dedicated LibreLink Up follower account and a Nightscout access token for the uploader; hash the access token with SHA-1 before configuring it. source

Common questions

What Nightscout authentication does the uploader need?

It needs a Nightscout subject and access token created specifically for this uploader.

Why does the setup recommend a separate LibreLink Up follower?

Creating a new follower just for the uploader helps avoid temporarily locking up your personal account while troubleshooting configuration problems.

Can the uploader be hosted separately from Nightscout?

Yes, users have hosted the LibreLink uploader separately from Nightscout, for example on Northflank.

When running the required Nightscout server in Docker, do I need to edit the compose file?

Yes, edit the Docker Compose file before starting the setup. If you skip the edits, the setup may not start or may connect to the wrong places.

Is there an Unraid Community Application template?

The Unraid support thread is only a placeholder for a Community Application template.
