Hi, I’m new to XWiki and sorry if this is noobish question, but why Standalone Distribution is not recommended for production? At first I thought that database will not persist data betwean sessions (like H2 database), but after rerunning computer I still have my data. Standalone Distribution is so easy and portable, and I only need XWiki to selfost it for my personal usage. My question is is it dangerous somehow in case of data loosing to use Standalone Distribution?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, it could be ok for your own personal usage. See the warning on https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Installation/InstallationWAR/InstallationHSQL/ to understand the limitations.

However note that you could also use the XWiki Docker image for running it for your own usage. It’s quite easy to use and contained.
