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 need to install the TimescaleDB container before GeoMetrikks?
Yes. Install this database container first, set POSTGRES_PASSWORD, then install the GeoMetrikks app template using the same password.
Which reverse proxies can GeoMetrikks tail?
It tails access logs from nginx, Traefik, and Caddy.
How do I support multiple proxies or hosts?
Run one full GeoMetrikks instance plus lightweight agents next to each log file, or tail shipped files from one place.
Where do I look if a log file is not producing events?
Use the Debug logs page, which shows the raw source lines and calls out parse failures.
What outbound traffic does GeoMetrikks make?
It downloads GeoLite2 data and, unless disabled, performs a public-IP lookup for the map's home location.
