Although my pup might be big enough for a few meals, please don’t eat him either.

Docker installed great! Hello-World returns what it should. I reach problems whenever I try to do anything within Docker, like setting up AdGuard, Jackett, etc.

I actually didnt know how to start the Jackett install from the guide I posted, so I just googled and tried following a guide. One of the first steps says sudo mkdir /home/ubuntu/jackett_config

I get a “No such file or directory”. Makes sense, ubuntu isn’t this user’s name. So I change it to point to “/home/user/jackett_config” and get the same result.

This is what usually stops me from proceeding further.

Sorry, figured it would be an easy shorthand. But with so many different distros out there, I can see how that could be seen as just another one of those. I’ll keep that in mind in the future.

Lol, I AM using Linux for the first time. But yea, I’m trying to use the most user-friendly things to accomplish what I want to do. Thanks anyway for trying. :)

ifconfig gives "command not found, but can be installed with sudo apt net-tools. That command gives me "Temporary failure resolving ‘archive.ubuntu.com’

ip addr gives:

Ubi is just my short-hand for Ubuntu. And I’d love to be able to install Network-Manager, but I can’t/dont know a work-around

the Wifi adapter is recognized, but if I try to ping ANYTHING, including the gateway, I get “ping: connect: network is unreachable”

I dont see anything standing out.

Yes. It sees it as “Ethernet Adapter - Microsoft”

I was following this walk-through (https://lemmy.world/post/6542543) for getting Docker and all its container apps set up, so that’s why I went with Ubi Server. I downloaded 24.04 as its the latest version. Would Mint be able to substitute Server for those things?

My Daily Driver has Mint on it and its working just fine. If I can use Mint instead of Server, that’d make things so much easier.

When I try [sudo nmtui] it gives me "Command nmtui not found, but can be installed with: [sudo apt install network-manager].

Which circles me back to my original problem where I don’t have network connectivity.

I’m actually diving into Linux and Docker for the first time right now, and the setup you described is exactly what I’m looking to do. But seeing as this is my first time. I was hoping I’d be able to get some confirmation of what my idea is or find faults with my setup.

In terms of hardware I have on-hand, I’ve got two laptops. One of which is a half-top, meaning it has no screen. The other is my daily driver. Both are running Linux Mint.

The half-top has 1TB of storage and would have Docker installed with Plex/Jellyfin, the *arr suite, and HomeAssistant. On my daily driver, I would be running Portainer or Heimdall to access everything and make changes within the half-top itself. I would also use this to access any of the media I have stored in the half-top.

Does that sound like everything would work?

Well there’s your problem. You’ve got to plug it back in!

Can I ask your setup? I’d like to get this for myself as well.

I wonder what these pieces of shit are even mad at?

“Peach shouldn’t be driving! She belongs in the kitchen. I’ll kill you if you say otherwise!”

Like, really? Go outside and smell some grass.

Great! Thanks for the recommendation. I think that’s just what I was looking for
