## Common questions

### In what order should I start AppFlowy-GoTrue when deploying AppFlowy Cloud on Unraid?

Start it after AppFlowy-Postgres, AppFlowy-Redis, and AppFlowy-MinIO, and before AppFlowy-Cloud. The Unraid template notes that AppFlowy-GoTrue waits for Postgres, while AppFlowy-Cloud waits for GoTrue, Postgres, Redis, and MinIO.

### Which credentials and secrets must be configured the same way in AppFlowy-GoTrue?

The Postgres password must be identical in AppFlowy-GoTrue and the other services that use the database. The JWT secret must be at least 32 characters and identical in AppFlowy-GoTrue, AppFlowy-Cloud, AppFlowy-Search, and AppFlowy-AI.
