After Mautic Opens
- Complete the Mautic installer and use database host `db`, database name `mautic`, and user `mautic`.
- Configure HTTPS, SMTP, cron jobs, tracking settings, and sender domains before production use.
- Back up the Mautic data and MySQL volumes before relying on campaigns or contacts.
Mautic deployment questions
What does the Mautic template deploy?
It deploys Mautic with a MySQL database so you can run self-hosted marketing automation, contacts, segments, and campaigns.
Which port did the tutorial use?
The tutorial used host port 8080, which maps to the Mautic web service on container port 80.
Why does the guide stop at the login or setup web UI?
The tutorial verifies the clean Mautic installer because admin account, database setup, email sending, tracking, and cron settings are production-specific setup steps.
Should this become a blog post?
No. The deployment guide should live on the Mautic template detail page and be linked from the reusable template deployment docs page.
