Security Best Practices

  1. Access Control

    • Use private access mode for development
    • Enable SSL for production environments
    • Regularly rotate database passwords
  2. Backup Management

    • Regular backups with descriptive labels
    • Test restore procedures periodically
    • Keep backup metadata up to date
  3. SSL/TLS

    • Use valid email for Let's Encrypt notifications
    • Keep certificates up to date
    • Verify domain ownership before SSL setup

Troubleshooting

  1. Port Conflicts

    • CLIDB automatically finds the next available port
    • Use --port to specify a different port
    • Check port availability with netstat or lsof
  2. Docker Issues

    • Run clidb install-docker to fix common problems
    • Check Docker daemon status
    • Verify user is in docker group
  3. Backup/Restore

    • Ensure sufficient disk space
    • Check database connection before backup
    • Verify backup file permissions
