## Common questions

### What should I protect in Invoice Ninja v5's .env file before creating data?

Set and keep the APP_KEY safe before creating any data. If it is lost, encrypted settings and data can become unreadable and the app may stop working.

### What scheduled task does a self-hosted Invoice Ninja v5 installation need?

Run php artisan schedule:run every minute via cron after adjusting the install path. Without it, background tasks such as reminders and automated emails will not run.

### What can cause an Invoice Ninja v5 instance to stop working due to out of disk space?

A log file may fill the available disk space. Providing a sample of the log contents to the support forum can help identify the cause.
