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

Do I have to use Docker to self-host farmOS?

Docker is the recommended method because it encapsulates farmOS server-level dependencies, but you can also build a customized codebase with Composer or use pre-built packaged releases.

What must be configured after installation to allow file uploads?

You must set a private filesystem path in settings.php, create the private folder, set ownership to the web server user such as www-data in the official Apache Docker image, and set permissions to 770.

Is there documentation for updating a self-hosted farmOS installation?

Yes, the farmOS site includes an Update Guide for people hosting farmOS themselves.

Is paid hosting available for farmOS?

Yes, Farmier provides low-cost farmOS hosting.
