## Common questions

### What deploy order should I follow for the Unraid AppFlowy Cloud templates?

Deploy Postgres first, then Redis and MinIO, then GoTrue, then AppFlowy-Cloud, followed by Admin, Web, Worker, Search, and optional AI, with Nginx deployed last.

### Which AppFlowy Cloud values must be kept identical across containers?

Postgres password must match in Postgres, GoTrue, Cloud, Worker, Search, and AI, while the JWT secret must be at least 32 characters and identical in GoTrue, Cloud, Search, and AI. YOUR_SERVER_IP should also be set consistently in all templates.

### Where does the Unraid AppFlowy Nginx container expect its custom config?

Place the custom config at /mnt/user/appdata/AppFlowy-Nginx/nginx.conf before starting AppFlowy-Nginx.

### Do the official AppFlowy docs provide a deployment guide for AppFlowy-Cloud?

Yes, the self-host documentation describes how to deploy your own AppFlowy-Cloud for self-managed cloud storage.
