Maintenance health: Active

How we label health: Active = last commit within 90 days, Maintained = within 12 months, Slowing = 12–24 months, Stale = over 24 months, Archived = read-only repository, Unknown = no data. Activity data from awesome-selfhosted-data (refreshed daily from GitHub); release counts from the GitHub releases feed (includes pre-releases).

Run Mox yourself

  • RAM: ~4 GB server (2 vCPU)
  • Docker: not detected — install from source or packages
  • Storage: plan disk for your data (media/files grow fast); attach a volume or use object storage.
  • needs a clean IP with port 25 open; many VPS block it by default
