Docker FAQ
Can I run Kubernetes?
Not natively. Simplewala is optimized for single-server workloads. For K8s, install k3s via SSH.
Can I use Traefik or Caddy?
Yes. Install them as Docker containers. Simplewala's Front Door can co-exist or be replaced.
How do I manage persistent volumes?
Use Docker named volumes or bind mounts. Simplewala's backup system snapshots volumes as part of the daily backup.
