## Common questions

### Which port should I expose for Pipe Bomb?

Pipe Bomb is available by default on port 9193. If using the single-container install, map host port 9193 to container port 80.

### Do I need to set PUBLIC_URL when using a reverse proxy?

Only if CORS is causing issues. Set PUBLIC_URL to the exact URL you use to access Pipe Bomb.

### Which Pipe Bomb volumes should I back up or keep on persistent storage?

Keep the data and secrets volumes on persistent storage, and keep resources if you want to retain cover art and thumbnails. Audio cache, plugin cache, and temp are safe to clear or do not need persistence.

### How do I point Pipe Bomb at a local music library?

Set MUSIC_PATH to the local music directory. For the single-container install, bind-mount the host music path to /music as read-only.

### Can I install Pipe Bomb without Docker Compose?

Use the single-container image with separate volume mounts for data, resources, caches, plugins, temp, and music. It is suitable for platforms such as Unraid and Portainer.
