## FAQ

### How can I prevent accidental destructive commands?

The server includes unconditional hard interception for catastrophic commands like 'rm -rf' on absolute paths, disk formatting, and fork bombs, which cannot be bypassed.

### Can I manage Docker containers via this server?

Yes, it provides tools for the full lifecycle management of Docker, including listing containers, images, building, and viewing logs.

### Does it support persistent remote sessions?

Yes, it supports screen/tmux session management so that processes remain alive even after the SSH connection is disconnected.
