Why it ranks here

Health score explained

Cloudron scores 61/100, #14 of 28 in Self-hosting Solutions: 289 commits in the last 90 days earn 35.0 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, 34 stars add 6.2 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and Docker support adds the final 10. That places it in the slowing band (40 to 69). The biggest shortfall is release recency, worth 25.0 more points.
