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 keep DumbKan task data after container restarts?
Task data is stored in /app/data/tasks.json. When using Docker, mount that directory as a volume to persist it across container restarts.
Can DumbKan be protected with a PIN?
Set DUMBKAN_PIN to a 4-10 digit PIN. When set, the app requires PIN verification before accessing or modifying boards.
Which port does DumbKan use and can I change it?
DumbKan listens on port 3000 by default. You can change the listening port with the PORT environment variable.
How do I edit a task on a mobile device?
On mobile, double-tap a task to edit it. The interface is touch-friendly and supports moving tasks with touch gestures.
What does the Synology guide say about running DumbKan over HTTPS?
It says making the DumbKan container work via HTTPS is mandatory and points to a Docker-over-HTTPS guide. For other container issues, it recommends checking the Common Docker issues article.
