## Common questions

### Does QuickChart provide a Docker image for self-hosting?

Yes, QuickChart provides a Docker image for self-hosting.

### How should I secure a self-hosted QuickChart instance?

Do not expose the service to untrusted parties. Because Chart.js configs may contain arbitrary JavaScript, the instance must be properly sandboxed.

### Can a QuickChart instance render multiple Chart.js versions?

No, each QuickChart instance should use one specific Chart.js version. Mixing and matching versions, such as rendering a v2 chart followed by a v3 chart, is not well supported.

### Can QuickChart generate QR codes?

Yes, the /qr endpoint generates QR codes and accepts parameters such as text, format, size, and margin.

### Where should I look for chart customization options?

Use the Chart.js documentation and Chart.js-related search terms, because QuickChart is built on the Chart.js library.
