## Common questions

### Why does Sshwifty require certificate files for Chrome support?

Chrome support requires the web app to run in HTTPS mode. A .crt and .key file must be placed in /mnt/user/appdata/sshwifty/certs/.

### Can I prepopulate host credentials in Sshwifty?

Yes, it supports a configuration file for hosts with passwords or private key matches prepopulated.

### Does Sshwifty include built-in login or user management?

A self-hoster found that Sshwifty has no login or user management. That was a limitation when they needed per-user passwords and OTP.

### Can Sshwifty be deployed as a single container?

Yes, the source describes it as a single-container deployment that can be spun up in minutes.
