## Introduction
I love Anime.You can use Home Layout for other pages of the site, it includes a navbar with theme toggle.
It should work out-of-the-box with Vercel & Netlify.
If you want to deploy your Fumadocs app using Docker with Fumadocs MDX configured, make sure to add the source.config.ts file to the WORKDIR in the Dockerfile.
The following snippet is taken from the official Next.js Dockerfile Example:
WORKDIR /app
# Install dependencies based on the preferred package manager
COPY package.json yarn.lock* package-lock.json* pnpm-lock.yaml* .npmrc* source.config.ts ./This ensures Fumadocs MDX can access your configuration file during builds.
