Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our SaaS starter kit
Do I need Docker experience to use this starter?
Basic Docker knowledge is helpful but not required. We provide all the Docker commands you need in our documentation. The docker-compose setup is pre-configured, so you can get started with just 'docker compose up'. We include troubleshooting guides for common issues.
How is the Docker setup different from regular deployment?
Docker ensures your app runs the same everywhere - local development, staging, and production. It eliminates 'works on my machine' issues, makes scaling easier, and simplifies deployment. You can deploy to any cloud provider or your own servers with confidence.
What's included in the Docker configuration?
Complete multi-container setup with your app, PostgreSQL database, Redis cache, and Nginx reverse proxy. Includes health checks, automatic restarts, volume management for data persistence, and environment-specific configurations for development and production.
Can I deploy without Docker if needed?
Yes! While Docker is recommended for consistency, the application can run without it. You'll need to install dependencies directly on your server. We provide instructions for both Docker and non-Docker deployments.
How do I handle database migrations with Docker?
Database migrations run automatically when containers start. We include scripts for running migrations, creating backups, and restoring data. The setup ensures migrations only run once, even with multiple app instances.
Is the Docker setup production-ready?
Absolutely! The Docker configuration includes everything needed for production: multi-stage builds for smaller images, security best practices, resource limits, logging configuration, and orchestration-ready setup for Kubernetes or Docker Swarm.
How do environment variables work with Docker?
Environment variables are managed through .env files for different environments. Docker Compose automatically loads these files. Sensitive values can use Docker secrets in production. We include examples for all required environment variables.
Can I add more services to the Docker setup?
Yes! The docker-compose.yml is designed to be extended. Need Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, or other services? Just add them to the compose file. We include examples of common service additions in our documentation.
