## Common questions

### Do I have to use Docker to self-host farmOS?

Docker is the recommended method because it encapsulates farmOS server-level dependencies, but you can also build a customized codebase with Composer or use pre-built packaged releases.

### What must be configured after installation to allow file uploads?

You must set a private filesystem path in settings.php, create the private folder, set ownership to the web server user such as www-data in the official Apache Docker image, and set permissions to 770.

### Is there documentation for updating a self-hosted farmOS installation?

Yes, the farmOS site includes an Update Guide for people hosting farmOS themselves.

### Is paid hosting available for farmOS?

Yes, Farmier provides low-cost farmOS hosting.
