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 should I do if the HFS admin browser page does not open automatically after launch?

Type create-admin in the running HFS console, not the OS shell, and then log in as admin with the generated password.

How can I open HFS on macOS when it says the app is from an unidentified developer?

Hold the Control key while clicking the app and choose open.

Can Windows antivirus interfere with HFS installation?

The installation notes warn about antivirus problems on Windows and point to a troubleshooting section.

Can HFS be placed behind a reverse proxy?

Yes, reverse-proxy support is listed as an HFS feature.

Are there user reports of HFS randomly hanging?

One self-hosted user reports that HFS can randomly stop responding for a minute to an hour, sometimes requiring a service restart.
