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
