## FAQ

### How can I deploy an application from a local directory?

You can deploy a local directory by using the --source flag; the directory is uploaded and built using its Dockerfile.

### What types of databases does Hostim support?

Hostim allows you to manage MySQL, Postgres, and Redis databases.

### How do I authenticate with the Hostim CLI?

You can use `hostim login` which uses a device code and a browser for approval, or provide an existing API token using the --token-value flag.

### Can I deploy a static site?

Yes, if a directory contains an index.html and no Dockerfile, it can be served as a static site using nginx.
