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 Deluge first Add the stable Deluge package source (PPA) and install Deluge before running deluge-exporter. The exporter only works when it can talk to a running Deluge, so without it you will get no metrics or connection errors. source
  • Start the Deluge web service On Linux, use the service manager (systemd) to enable and start deluge-web, then check its status. This keeps the Deluge web interface available for the exporter to query, and if the service is stopped the exporter cannot collect data. source
