## Common questions

### Are the released OpenEats containers easy to run on unRAID?

The released containers were reported as difficult to run on unRAID, which is why a separate unRAID Docker template was shared.

### How can I self-host OpenEats without Docker?

Install it under /opt/openeats with a dedicated openeats user, install the dependencies as that user, and configure mod_wsgi to run as that user for the host.

### What environment settings are needed before running OpenEats?

Create an environment file with DJANGO_SECRET_KEY, ALLOWED_HOST, and NODE_API_URL.

### What first-time database setup is required?

You need to seed the database before using the app, then create a superuser by following the prompts.
