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

  • Finish the initial onboarding step first Complete the app's onboarding (the first-run setup) before expecting normal pages and login to work. Without it, Lingarr may stay in initial-setup mode and standard access can fail. source
  • Create your first login account Use the signup step to create a username and password for your first account. If you don't save an account, you won't be able to log in later or manage movies and translation settings. source
  • Remember your first password Keep the username and password you create during signup somewhere safe, because they are used for login. If you forget them, you may be locked out of the app until you reset the setup. source

Common questions

Why might Lingarr's normal pages or login fail after first start?

Complete the first-run onboarding before expecting normal pages and login to work. If it is skipped, Lingarr can stay in initial-setup mode and standard access can fail.

What should I do with the first Lingarr account credentials to avoid lockout?

Create the first login account during signup and keep the username and password safe. If they are forgotten, you may be locked out until the setup is reset.

Does Lingarr 0.9.0 mention automated subtitle support?

Yes, the 0.9.0 release thread mentions automated subtitle support.
