## Common questions

### Do the official mobile and desktop apps work with a self-hosted Invoice Ninja instance?

Yes, the self-hosted options support the desktop and mobile apps.

### What should I preserve before loading sample data during setup?

Copy the .env.example file to .env and save the APP_KEY before loading sample data, because losing it can prevent Invoice Ninja from running.

### Does a self-hosted installation require a cron job?

Yes, add the provided scheduler cron job and set it to run every minute so scheduled jobs run.

### Can I configure my own web server for a self-hosted instance?

Yes, the manual server install option lets you install from a tarball or git and configure nginx or Apache yourself.

### Are hosted Pro and Enterprise features included in self-hosted Invoice Ninja?

Yes, all Pro and Enterprise features from the hosted app are included in the source-available code, and a $40 per year license can remove branding from client-facing parts.
