    Common questions

    How do I install it manually on Unraid?

    Clone the repository into /mnt/user/appdata, optionally copy .env.example to .env and customize it, then run docker compose up -d. Pre-built Docker images are published to the GitHub Container Registry.

    What do I need to enter on first run?

    Add your Unraid server URL and your Unraid API key, then save setup.

    What should I back up to preserve configured server credentials?

    Back up the backend/data folder, which contains servers.enc, encryption.key, and audit.log.

    Which .env settings matter for cross-origin API access or proxy setups?

    Set UNRAID_BFF_ORIGIN as the CORS allowlist for cross-origin /api requests, and set UNRAID_BFF_TRUST_PROXY to false, true, or proxy mode. Same-origin usage on the default URL does not require UNRAID_BFF_ORIGIN.

    How do I update it after I have it installed?

    Change to /mnt/user/appdata/Unraid-PWA, run git pull, and then run docker compose up -d --build.
