Maintenance health: Unknown

No repository activity data: the source is not on GitHub or another forge we can query.

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. This project is not hosted on a forge we can query automatically.

Run Samba yourself

  • RAM: ~1 GB server (1 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.

Rough estimate from the app's stack and category, not a benchmark. Several light apps can share one server. Some hosting links may be affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you; it never affects which apps we list.
