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
- Open Overseerr's web port Check the Overseerr logs for the port it starts on (the example shows 5055) and open or map that port so your browser can reach it. If the port is blocked, the app may be running but you won't be able to open the setup page or log in. source
- Finish the first-run setup When you first open Overseerr, complete the setup page and create your main account. Until the app is marked initialized, you can remain stuck on the setup page and the rest of the app won't be available. source
- Connect Plex, Radarr, and Sonarr In settings, add your Plex server URL and API key, plus Radarr and Sonarr entries with their API keys if you want requests to trigger downloads. Without these connections, Overseerr can't see your library or send new movie and TV show requests. source
- Archived status Overseerr is being superseded by Seerr and will no longer receive major updates; consider Seerr for new deployments. source
- Migrate to Seerr Overseerr is superseded by Seerr and will not receive new features; use Seerr for continued support. source

Common questions
What should I do now that Overseerr is being superseded?
Overseerr will no longer receive new features or major updates because it is being replaced by Seerr. Migrating to Seerr is recommended for continued support and development.
Why can I not open Overseerr in a browser even though it is running?
Check the Overseerr logs for the port it starts on, such as 5055, and make sure that port is opened or mapped. If the port is blocked, the app can be running but the setup page and login cannot be reached.
Why does Overseerr remain on the setup page?
You must complete the first-run setup and create the main account before the rest of the app is available. Until the app is marked initialized, it can stay stuck on the setup page.
Why does Overseerr not see my library or send requests to Radarr and Sonarr?
Add the Plex server URL and API key, plus Radarr and Sonarr entries with their API keys, in settings. Without these connections, Overseerr cannot see your library or trigger new movie and TV show downloads.
Why does Overseerr work locally but not after a server upgrade with Nginx Proxy Manager?
A server upgrade and restart can leave Nginx Proxy Manager stopped, making Overseerr unreachable over the web. The report notes Overseerr still works fine locally.
