 ## Common Failures
-1. Service not starting: Check that the Docker stack is configured correctly and that all dependencies are installed.
-2. Login issues: Ensure that OIDC authentication is working correctly by verifying the client ID, secret, and configuration URL.
-3. Data corruption: Regularly back up critical data to prevent loss in case of a failure.
+| Failure Mode | Symptoms | Cause | Fix |
+- **Service not available**: Service is not responding. Check Caddy configuration and Uptime Kuma monitors.
+- **Data corruption**: Data is corrupted or missing. Check Docker volume for consistency.
+- **Incorrect credentials**: Credentials are incorrect, causing authentication issues. Check environment variables and retry authentication.
