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

How do I deploy the Docker version?

Pull the smeagolworms4/mqtt-explorer image and run it as a container. The repository includes a Docker command for starting it.

Can I change the HTTP port?

Set the HTTP_PORT environment variable to choose the port. The default shown is 4000.

How can I protect access to the web app?

Set HTTP_USER and HTTP_PASSWORD to add credentials. You can also set SSL_KEY_PATH and SSL_CERT_PATH to provide TLS key and certificate paths.

Where is the configuration stored?

Configuration is read from CONFIG_PATH, which defaults to /mqtt-explorer/config. You can also provide INITIAL_CONFIG with an initial JSON configuration for startup.

What should I check if the app cannot connect to an MQTT broker?

Check hostnames, ports, authentication, TLS, WebSockets, firewalls, and broker ACLs.
