First-install notes
- Start Tandoor and wait for setup Run docker-compose up -d to start the app, then wait for the one-time database setup (migrations, where the app prepares its recipe storage) to finish. If you open the site too soon, pages may error or data may not be available yet. source
- Let Tandoor start automatically If you installed the Arch package, run systemctl enable --now tandoor. This Linux service command starts Tandoor now and makes it start after reboots, so the app isn't stopped after the host restarts. source

Common questions
What should I do immediately after starting Tandoor Recipes with Docker?
Run docker-compose up -d and wait for the one-time database setup, including migrations, to finish. If you open the site too early, pages may error or data may not be available yet.
What must be handled if I remove the recommended nginx container from a Tandoor deployment?
Something else must serve the /mediafiles/ directory, or GUNICORN_MEDIA must be enabled so the application container serves media.
How can I set up LDAP login for Tandoor Recipes on Cloudron?
A Cloudron thread describes setting it up by creating an admin account first and then transferring admin rights.
