Kamal accessory management supports persistent volumes and environment variables by facilitating the mapping of host volumes and secrets to ensure persistent data and secure credential handling for Docker containers.
The best way to remove or restart a database container without redeploying the entire Kamal application is to use explicit reboot and removal commands designed to safely control accessory container lifecycles independently.
You need to configure accessory services separately from the standard Kamal deployment flow when your application requires long-lived background services like databases or caches that operate independently and must survive server reboots.
