Frequently asked questions
Can you migrate existing Docker Compose apps into Dokploy?
Yes, in many cases. The first step is checking whether the existing compose setup maps cleanly or needs some restructuring first.
Do you also handle storage and backups around Dokploy?
Yes. Dokploy on its own is not enough if the surrounding server and backup approach are weak.
