Common questions

Should I mount the whole app-data directory for service configs?

No. Mount individual service config files only, not the app-data parent directory.

How should I handle .env during an upgrade?

Existing installations must keep their current .env and SECRET_KEY. Skip creating new secrets during an upgrade.

Which port should I expose for the Companion web UI?

Expose port 8787 and open the address on that port to claim the owner account. If SETUP_TOKEN is not set, the first-run token is written to the log while no owner exists.

How does Unraid provide Docker access without exposing the Docker socket to Companion?

Use separate qm-socket-proxy and qm-companion entries. Create the dedicated qm-companion Docker network first, then install both on it with the same proxy key.

Does the Quartermaster phone app route traffic through Companion after setup?

No. The standard setup transfer does not route app traffic through Companion; after setup, Quartermaster connects directly to the local and away addresses saved for each service.
