💬 FAQ & Community

Welcome to the FAQ! Here, we address the most burning questions, common “oopsies,” and other mysteries of the universe.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

💡 Why did you make this project?

Because the world needed one more person to say, “I self-host everything.” Also, I like breaking things at 2 AM and then bragging about it online.
🚨 Is this only for Raspberry Pi?

Nope! While I use a Pi (because it’s cute and forgiving when I sudo rm -rf it), you can run it on any Linux system, a virtual machine, or even that dusty PC in your closet.
💀 Will I lose all my data if I mess up?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: The Pi will forgive you, but your data won’t. Always backup before you start playing surgeon with your filesystems.
🌐 Can I expose this to the internet?

Technically yes, but only do it securely. Use VPNs, Twingate, or reverse proxies with SSL. Don’t open random ports and hope for the best — that’s how you end up featured on Shodan.
⚡ Why do you recommend DuckDNS or dynamic DNS?

Because most home internet connections don’t have a static IP, and DuckDNS is free, reliable, and doesn’t ask for your firstborn child.

Please check existing questions before creating a new one — your “unique” error message might already have 42 threads.

Got a cool feature in mind? Like “automatic coffee brewing on server startup”?

Open a new Feature Request on GitHub.

💡 Pro tip: If your request includes “AI,” “blockchain,” or “quantum computing,” you might get bonus points — or a gentle roast.

Awesome! Here’s how to start:
