Each PWM instance needs an applicationPath directory defined on the local server. PWM stores its configuration, log, and runtime files in that directory.

### What does the initial PWM web UI ask the administrator to configure?

It prompts the administrator for LDAP and other configuration settings.

### Is there a community Docker setup for PWM on Unraid?

A Reddit thread explains installing and configuring PWM in a Docker container on Unraid. It presents this as a homelab-friendly setup for LDAP directories.
