Common Questions
Can I switch between deployment options?
Yes. Your data exports cleanly between deployments. Start local, move to self-hosted when you're ready. No lock-in.
What's the same across both?
Everything that matters. Same Clams Server, same features, same interfaces. The only difference is where it runs.
Which interfaces work with which deployment?
All of them. CLI and Server work with every deployment option, plus a REST API for programmatic access. You choose the interfaces that fit your workflow.
