## Common questions

### Where should I ask general usage questions about Grocy?

General help and usage questions should go to the Grocy subreddit. The maintainer does not provide support through private messages or calls.

### How can I deploy Grocy on Linux?

Grocy can be deployed on Linux with a Docker session.

### How do I start the Grocy demo with Docker Compose?

Run docker compose up -d in the folder containing docker-compose.yml, then open the service on localhost port 9192. It loads the local demo API key test_local_devenv, and the wrong port or key will prevent the web page or API calls from working.

### Is Grocy too complex if I only want recipes, chores, and meal planning?

One user found Grocy too complex for just recipes, chores, and meal planning and looked for lighter self-hosted options.
