## Common questions

### What should I check when deploying Vue Storefront 2 on a self-hosted Linux server?

Use the Ubuntu-focused self-hosted deployment example and inspect the built output for the API client, composables, and theme packages.

Yes, you can create a custom integration when a connector is not already available for a commerce, CMS, payment, or search service.
