## Common questions

### What database URL prefix should I use for PostgreSQL or MySQL?

Use postgres:// for PostgreSQL and mysql2:// for MySQL. If the prefix is wrong, PasswordPusher cannot connect to its database and the site will not load.

### Why do shared links and settings disappear after the container restarts?

SQLite stores data inside the container, so it can be lost on restart. Point DATABASE_URL to a persistent database such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB.

### Which port should I expose to open the PasswordPusher web app?

Expose port 5100 so you can open the web app in a browser.

### How do I keep PasswordPusher running in the background with Docker Compose?

After the config file is ready, run docker compose up -d.

### How can an admin require two-factor authentication instance-wide?

Set PWP__REQUIRE_MFA=true to require MFA across the instance.

### What configuration changes should self-hosters expect when moving to v2.0?

Self-hosters should follow the upgrade guide for migration notes and configuration changes.
