I don’t use docker, so I just set the interface to the tun0 or whatever in the qbittorrent config.

qbittorrent.

I like how they take a moral stance against Apple and Google, but then proudly display Boeing and the US Air Force as customers.

Hey thanks for following up. I did see that, and I have it installed :)

Damn that looks cool. I’m disappointed in how many projects are only for Docker though :(

Interesting. This particular script I’m just double clicking to run, but I did name it script.sh. If I were to run it in the terminal, I would just do ./script.sh

I have studiously avoided learning any bash scripting for the 17 years I’ve used Linux, so all I can say is good job! Actually just today I found a command that I needed to get a certain appimage to run without crashing, and I remembered enough that I was able to make it into a script (I struggle with whether it’s !# or #!). Having just done it today, I can confirm you don’t need to include ‘/bin/bash’, just FYI. I believe that is assumed.

I use Ninja at work, and all I know is there is no remote desktop support for Linux. You can install the Linux agent, and you can run remote terminal commands. I set up RustDesk to remote control one of the few Linux machines here.

My brother recently texted me asking for advice about installing Mint on an old laptop. He is the one that got me into computers as a kid, and he has worked at Microsoft for maybe 25 years. It made me so happy lol.

Damn that sucks :(. Seems to me I have to disable my VPN in order to discover devices, but I can re-enable it afterwards. I use it mostly for clipboard sharing between devices.

I use KDEConnect. I don’t know about iPhone but it works with Android, Linux and Windows.

The replies illustrate the problem nicely.

I don’t have the time right now to get back into it, and it’s been a year since I last tried, so I don’t recall the specifics.

I’ve been using Linux daily since 2007 (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn). I’ve learned a lot, and there’s some things I’ve never learned. Docker is one of those things that has been a problem. I also don’t do a bit of programming.

Homie, I have been there. I spent days. I found it confusing. I don’t recall all the details, but I wasn’t able to get it all working. I will try again some day.

I appreciate your confidence (and your docker evangelism), but I don’t have the bandwidth to tackle a docker project right now. I don’t believe I was ever building containers, as I was leveraging projects like DockStarter designed to make things more painless. I’m sure I’ll try again sometime, but that time isn’t right now.

Yes, complete lack of understanding. That is a problem when it comes to working with something. I don’t understand python and venv either, but I got it working anyway in about 10 minutes. My experience with docker is that it had too many moving parts, particularly when it came to networking. It obviously seems easy to you and lots of other people, but it hasn’t come easily to me. I’ll probably need someone in the room with me to ever understand it.

I have a system that’s been working well (except for this new thing I’m trying to add) for a couple years now. I am not looking yo replace it with docker (something that I have failed with in the past). Maybe next time my system breaks I’ll take another look at docker.

I guess I must be stupid, because I’ve tried a few times and never understood it. I tried projects like DockStarter.

I’ve tried a few times, and have yet to fundamentally understand it. Been using Linux since 2007!
