When running `usermod ...`, you may need to (depending on your system) log

If you get an error saying the docker group doesn't exist, then docker didn't create the group during installation. You can create the group manually by running:
```
sudo groupadd docker
```
Abra can't deploy any applications in future steps if docker cannot run without sudo. To verify docker can run without sudo, run the docker test image:
```
docker run hello-world
```
??? question "Do you support multiple web proxies?"
We do not know if it is feasible and convenient to set things up on an existing server with another web proxy which uses ports `:80` & `:443`. We'd happily receive reports and documentation on how to do this if you manage to set it up!

On your local machine be sure to add your domain and all relevant subdomains in future steps to your `/etc/hosts` file. For example:

```
??? question "How do I know my DNS is working?"
You can use a tool like `dig` on the command-line to check if your server has the necessary DNS records set up. Something like `dig +short <domain>` should show the IP address of your server if things are working.

Yes, this is possible. You need to pass `-D` to `server add` and ensure
that your `Host ...` entry in your SSH configuration includes the name.
So, for example:

Take care, these secrets are only shown once on the terminal so make sure to take note of them! `abra` makes use of the [Docker secrets](/operators/handbook/#managing-secret-data) mechanism to ship these secrets securely to the server and store them as encrypted data.
