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

Where does the container store its configuration file?

It is stored in the mounted /usr/app/config volume. The file can be named config.json or config.json5.

How do I control automatic runs?

The config includes runOnStartup and cronSchedule. You can set a cron expression such as 0 0,6,12,18 * * * for scheduled runs.

Which notification services are supported?

It supports email, Discord, Telegram, Apprise, Pushover, Gotify, Home Assistant, Bark, and ntfy.

How are CAPTCHA issues handled?

Epic or Arkose may break the NoJS audio captcha, which can break automatic solving. The project added captcha emails as a kind of self-hosted 2Captcha to keep things free.

Can I track more than one Epic account?

Yes, you can list multiple accounts in the accounts array. Each entry can include the account email.
