SETTING UP STALWART WITH PODMAN AND QUADLET
SECTION 1 – BACKGROUND This document comes from my many attempts to make this work with podman-compose setup. I got it working and hope to document those details at a later date.

How to Use Bitbucket as a Backup Tool for Upgrades and Changes to Server
I had never heard of Bitbucket before to be honest. Turns out it’s a kind of ‘private repository thing’. And you can get a free account to start. Pretty nice.
