# How-to guides (/docs/guides)



Each guide gets one job done. They assume RyTask is already running — if it isn't, start with
the [quickstart](/docs/tutorials/quickstart).

* **[Self-hosting & administration](/docs/guides/self-hosting)** — requirements, production
  setup, environment variables, TLS, backups, upgrades, and scaling.
* **[Using RyTask](/docs/guides/users)** — one page per feature area, written so a teammate who
  never opens a terminal can follow along.
* **[Slack integration](/docs/guides/slack)** — install the bot, capture with `/task`, map
  users, troubleshoot.
* **[MCP & AI agents](/docs/guides/mcp)** — connect Claude, Claude Code, or any MCP client, and
  understand the security model.
* **[Other integrations](/docs/guides/integrations)** — GitHub and friends (coming soon).
