## Common questions

### How do I prevent Baserow data loss when rebuilding a Docker container?

Mount a Docker volume to the Baserow data folder, such as baserow_data:/baserow/data. Without a saved volume, Baserow data can be lost when the container is recreated.

### What role does Redis play in a self-hosted Baserow deployment?

Redis handles background jobs and live collaboration. If Redis is stopped, jobs may fail and live updates can break.

### Does self-hosting Baserow remove row limits?

Yes, self-hosting liberates your Baserow database from the row limits.

### How can I access Baserow rows programmatically?

Create the database schema and an API key in settings. Then Baserow exposes REST API endpoints to create, read, update, and delete rows.
