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

How do I tell S3Backup which local folders to back up?

Mount the directories you want backed up into the container under the /data directory.

Which environment variables are required to configure S3Backup?

Set ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY, and S3PATH for your AWS credentials and S3 destination. S3CMDPARAMS is optional and can contain extra s3cmd parameters.

How often does S3Backup run by default, and how can I change that?

It runs once every hour by default. Set CRON_SCHEDULE using standard CRON notation to change the schedule.

Can I pass additional s3cmd options to the backup job?

Yes, add extra s3cmd parameters with the S3CMDPARAMS environment variable.
