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

What folders should I bind-mount for FTPGrab Docker?

Map /db for the bbolt database file and /download for downloaded files.

How does FTPGrab avoid downloading the same files repeatedly?

It keeps track of what has already been downloaded so it can avoid re-downloading files.

How are regular expression filters matched in FTPGrab?

FTPGrab uses Compile to parse regular expressions. The regexp returns a match that begins as early as possible in the input, like Perl and Python.
