Is what it is, just a page so I don’t have to remember all this again.
Do: Use this if you cant remember the commands
Don’t: Use this if you’ve never done this before, it’s not written for you.

Deploy Ubuntu to a vm, 24.x worked fine, I’m sure current is fine.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

## you might want nano? 
## depends if you used minimal. 
## #ViSux
sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common

## Get current gpg from website if later than say, 2026?
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

## Don't Skip it, even though you know you want to. 
sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

## Test Install
docker --version 

## Init.d
sudo systemctl enable docker

And we’re done

Don’t go looking for where to put the composer file, can go anywhere, you decide. Home is fine too, but, you know…

To be lazy and edit configs in containers, pull the file to local cd via;
docker cp <dockerid>:/path/to/the/file .

To jump into bash
(This is basically useless without the common toolset btw).
docker <dockerid> -exec /bin/bash

Should you really click / scan every link, Shah?

My dudes, this…. this is the project that will never end.

I’ve been around, I know the score.
And I know all about projects that never (and desperately need to) die.

That said, the winds of gorram change are blowing, and we are nearing *an* ending on that wind finally.*

Structure – done
Roof – done (sexy, too)
Windows – done
That godawful white floor – done. never doing that again. ever 😐
The Yard? – done.
Furniture – printed.
Front Gate – 20 mins out + 2 days of drying
LEDS – decided to wait on furnishings.

I’d say about… 2-4 hours away from a good final varnish?
I have also said that before.

All that aside, just look at this thing. It’s a shitty quality print (cheap filament from AliEx).
Yet, once painted and flocked, it’s absolutely mint.
Once it’s properly decked out inside, going to look great.

I reckon I’ll I just sell it so I never have to look at it again.
I think I could have built a house by hand in the woods with the time sunk into it.
Still not finished, either, mind you.
That’s the pesky wind, again. Always blowing.

Anyway, see below, my (current) masterpiece.

Maybe put this on first,
gotta set that mood after all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Long Days, Pleasant Nights.

Footnote
*Been really reminiscing about Wheel of Time after that third season. What an odd series and general 90s-esque taking-itself-way-too-seriously fantasy vibe to have, ain’t much else like it due to its age. Maybe Brooks and Shannara but that has a bit of a ‘kiddy’ feel to (despite the gratuitous violence, death, depression and PTSD from the get go).
Odd memories, of a time well before… god anything that really frames who I am as a person today; tech, marriage, interests, favourites, experiences.
Crazy how time flies.
