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

Does Diskover require Elasticsearch for indexing?

Yes, it uses Elasticsearch to index and manage data across heterogeneous storage systems.

Will the LinuxServer Diskover container select the correct architecture automatically?

The image uses a Docker manifest, so pulling the latest tag should retrieve the correct architecture.

Which components have troubleshooting areas in the Diskover help center?

The troubleshooting category lists NGINX, Worker, Diskoverd, Task-Worker, ElasticSearch, Kibana, and Diskover on Debian/Ubuntu or RHEL/Rocky/CentOS.

How long did one self-hoster report for Elasticsearch setup and a first Diskover crawl?

One self-hoster reported about 30 minutes to set up Elasticsearch and add Diskover, then 6-10 minutes for the first crawl.
