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

  • Install LDAP packages first If you want to use LDAP address books (a separate contacts directory), install the listed LDAP server packages on a Debian-based system before configuring Roundcube. Without them, Roundcube can't look up contacts in that directory. source

Common questions

Is the git repository version suitable for replacing a production Roundcube installation?

No, the repository snapshot is not a stable version and replacing an existing installation with it is not recommended. If you use it, using a separate database is highly recommended.

What do I need to install before configuring LDAP address books on a Debian-based system?

Install the listed LDAP server packages first. Without them, Roundcube cannot look up contacts in that directory.

Do Roundcube plugins and skins that call the core have to be treated as GPL modifications?

Roundcube is GPL with an exception: plugins and skins that merely make function calls and include Roundcube by reference are not considered modifications.

Does Roundcube impose a fixed limit on users or messages?

The project’s website lists unlimited users and messages.
