## Common questions

### What startup settings should I check for a self-hosted Linkwarden instance?

Set DATABASE_URL, NEXTAUTH_URL, NEXTAUTH_SECRET, MEILI_HOST, MEILI_MASTER_KEY, NEXT_PUBLIC_USER_CONTENT_DOMAIN, and STORAGE_FOLDER before starting. Missing or wrong values can prevent startup, break login, or break previews and search.

### Does self-hosted Linkwarden need a separate worker process?

Yes, run the worker as its own service because it handles queued follow-up tasks after saving, such as previews. Without it, those tasks may never finish.

### Can self-hosted Linkwarden sync bookmarks from my browser?

Yes, you can sync browser bookmarks to Linkwarden using Floccus.

### Can I save a webpage that is only visible after logging in?

Yes, you can upload a copy of the page from your browser when it is only accessible to you.
