FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about safety, compatibility, and day-to-day use.

Does Yantr replace my operating system?

No. Yantr runs on top of your existing Linux, macOS, or Windows setup using Docker. Your host OS remains unchanged.

Why use Yantr instead of manual Docker Compose?

Yantr applies Docker changes atomically: every step succeeds together, or nothing is changed. That reduces broken deployments and partial updates.

Do I need Docker experience to use Yantr?

Not much. Yantr handles app installation, updates, and compose management through a simple interface while still using standard Docker under the hood.

Where is my data stored?

Your app data stays in standard Docker volumes on your own machine or server. This keeps ownership clear and migration straightforward.

Can I access apps remotely?

Yes. Yantr is local-first, and you can securely expose apps with tools like Tailscale or Cloudflare Tunnel when you need remote access.

Is Yantr free and open source?

Yes. Yantr is open source under the MIT license, so you can use, inspect, and self-host it without subscription lock-in.
