## Common questions

### How do I keep DumbKan task data after container restarts?

Task data is stored in /app/data/tasks.json. When using Docker, mount that directory as a volume to persist it across container restarts.

### Can DumbKan be protected with a PIN?

Set DUMBKAN_PIN to a 4-10 digit PIN. When set, the app requires PIN verification before accessing or modifying boards.

### Which port does DumbKan use and can I change it?

DumbKan listens on port 3000 by default. You can change the listening port with the PORT environment variable.

### How do I edit a task on a mobile device?

On mobile, double-tap a task to edit it. The interface is touch-friendly and supports moving tasks with touch gestures.

### What does the Synology guide say about running DumbKan over HTTPS?

It says making the DumbKan container work via HTTPS is mandatory and points to a Docker-over-HTTPS guide. For other container issues, it recommends checking the Common Docker issues article.
