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

What port and mounts does the quick install use?

The quick install uses port 7842 and mounts /config for app data, /output for backups, /var/run/docker.sock read-only, and /boot read-only.

How do I configure scheduled backups?

Set the SCHEDULE environment variable to a cron expression, such as 0 2 * * 0 for a weekly backup.

What causes permission denied errors when writing backups?

It is caused by a mismatch between the container user permissions and the host directory ownership.

What files are included in a generated backup?

The backup contains container-templates.zip, docker-compose.yml, unraid-config.json, restore.sh, changes.log, and README.md.

How do I restore an Unraid system from a Config Guardian backup?

Install a fresh Unraid array, run restore.sh from the latest backup, add containers from the templates, and copy app data back from separate backups.
