## Common questions

### The main branch is in development; which branch should I use for a stable self-host?

Use the 4.x branch for the stable and current version. The main branch is a development beta.

### Which host port should I expose when running the official Docker setup?

Run the official Docker command with -p 8080:80. That maps container port 80 to host port 8080.

### What email setting should I configure in Docker before inviting people?

Use MAIL_MAILER=log only for testing, and point Monica to a real mail server for real use. Without working email, invitation and verification messages will not arrive.

### Can one Monica instance support multiple users and separate vaults?

Yes, Monica supports multiple vaults and users. It also supports labels to organize contacts.
