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

  • Set Huly connection details first Set HULY_URL, HULY_EMAIL, HULY_PASSWORD, and HULY_WORKSPACE before running the examples. These are the server address, login, and workspace the examples use, so wrong values mean they can’t connect or sign in. source
  • Point HULY_URL to the right port For a local Huly server, use http://localhost:8087 as HULY_URL; for another machine, use that machine’s address. The examples only talk to the address and port in that setting, so a closed or wrong port makes every call fail. source
  • Use a valid API token if needed If your setup uses an API token (a secret key the server checks), put that token and your workspace in the connection settings instead of a password. The token is what lets the client open a connection, so a missing or expired token blocks all API calls. source
  • Source repository hcengineering/platform is frozen; current development, issues, and pull requests are in the Platform-Collective/platform repository. source

Common questions

Which repository should I use to self-host Huly without modifying the platform?

Use huly-selfhost, which provides a Docker-based setup. The main platform repository is frozen, and development has moved to the Platform-Collective/platform repository.

Do Huly examples require a password or an API token?

If the server setup uses an API token, provide that token and the workspace instead of a password. A missing or expired token blocks all API calls.

Where can I find data backup and restore information after the hosted service shut down?

The hosted Huly service is no longer available, but self-hosting remains available. The README points to a backup and restoration guide for self-hosted data.

What common deployment problems does the Huly self-hosted troubleshooting guide cover?

It covers service startup failures, connectivity problems, and configuration errors. It is intended as a central place for diagnosing self-hosted Huly deployments.
