Forced data deletion removes the derived owner container only when it mounts the exact selected volume. A same-named container that does not own that volume stops the operation.

On touch screens, press and hold a tile before moving it; a quick tap does not start a drag. Resize handles accept direct touch input. During a pointer or touch move or resize, `Esc` cancels the interaction and restores the layout from before it started.
## Board editing
When a tile is focused in edit mode:
| Shortcut | Description |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Enter` or `Space` | Starts or stops keyboard editing |
| Arrow keys | Moves the focused tile within its current canvas, rail, or Container |
| `Shift` + Arrow keys | Resizes from the tile's lower-right corner: Left/Up shrink; Right/Down grow |
| `Esc` | Stops keyboard editing without undoing its changes |
Keyboard moves and resizes apply immediately. To move an item between a canvas, rail, or Container, drag it there or use **Move / resize item** for precise numeric placement.
Commands at a grid boundary or at the tile's minimum size are ignored and announced instead of moving or shrinking the tile.

### Can Homarr run on a Raspberry Pi?
## Can Homarr run on a Raspberry Pi?
Yes, when the device uses a supported `linux/arm64` operating system. `linux/arm/v7` is not supported. See
[Prerequisites](/docs/getting-started).
### Can I use custom app icons?
## Can I use custom app icons?
Yes. Use a direct image URL, one of Homarr's icon sources, or upload an image. See [Icons](/docs/advanced/icons).
### Can I create widgets?
## Can I create widgets?
Yes. [Custom Widgets](/docs/management/custom-widgets) use server-side API requests and safe JSX. They can be written in
the workbench or created with an MCP-connected agent.
### Can Homarr be exposed to the internet?
## Can Homarr be exposed to the internet?
Homarr supports authenticated and public deployments. Terminate HTTPS at a reverse proxy, keep Homarr updated, and grant
public board access only when anonymous viewing is intended. See [Board access control](/docs/management/boards#access-control)
and [Single sign-on](/docs/advanced/single-sign-on).
### Where are the logs?
## Where are the logs?
Use **Management → Tools → Logs** for retained and live application logs. Container startup failures and older events are
available through the deployment platform, for example `docker container logs homarr`.

Use the browser developer console only for client-side failures. Review logs before sharing them because URLs and other
deployment details may be present.
### Why can Homarr not reach a service behind Gluetun?
## Why can Homarr not reach a service behind Gluetun?
Gluetun's firewall blocks traffic that is not explicitly allowed. Configure its
[`FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS`](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/options/firewall.md) for the relevant
LAN or Docker subnet, and use an address reachable from the Homarr container.
### Where do I report a bug or request a feature?
## Where do I report a bug or request a feature?
Use the [GitHub issue templates](https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr/issues/new/choose). For community support, see
[Get in touch](/docs/community/get-in-touch).
### Can Homarr be used commercially?
## Can Homarr be used commercially?
Yes. Homarr is licensed under the [Apache License 2.0](/docs/community/license). Commercial users can support development
through [OpenCollective](/docs/community/donate).
