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 a secret before starting Generate a random AUTH_SECRET with openssl, then save it in docker-compose.yaml before starting the app; it helps protect logins, and without a proper one your account is more exposed. source
  • Create and own data folders Make ./data and ./backups on the host computer, then run chown -R 1001:1001 data backups; the container uses user ID 1001 to read and write files, and wrong ownership can cause permission errors or lost habits. source
  • Start with Docker Compose on port 3000 Use docker compose up -d to start the app, then open port 3000 in your browser to reach it; port 3000 is the web page, and if it is not open you cannot reach the app. source
