## Common questions

### What SELinux setting can prevent the mounted volumes from working?

If SELinux is in use, append :Z to the volume paths. For example, use sqlite_data:/home/nonroot/pdfding/db:Z.

### Which volumes should I persist to keep PdfDing data?

Use the sqlite_data volume for /home/nonroot/pdfding/db and the media volume for /home/nonroot/pdfding/media.

### What OIDC detail can prevent sign-in from reaching the expected provider?

PdfDing needs the correct OIDC provider name. If that name is missing or wrong, the login flow may not reach the account provider you expect.

### Can I start PdfDing with Podman instead of Docker?

Yes, the documentation says you can replace docker with podman to start the container.
