## Common questions

### Does Magnetico need a forwarded UDP port to work?

It needs a direct internet connection or the UDP port used by magneticod to be forwarded. The port is randomly selected at each magneticod invocation, so the forwarded port may change.

### How should I configure the database before first start?

Choose SQLite or PostgreSQL and pass the matching --database flag. For SQLite mount the data folder to /data, and for PostgreSQL create the magnetico user and database and enable pg_trgm first.

### Should I add authentication if I expose the web UI to other machines?

Yes. Generate a username and password hash with htpasswd and use it for password protection before letting anyone beyond your own computer use Magnetico.

### Will the search database be populated immediately?

No, it can take time for magneticod to start collecting magnet links after it is running.
