How to Fix the Lexmark Load MP feeder with Custom Type 6 paper” error message on Ubuntu
What is this? All day long I was getting this “Load MP feeder with Custom Type 6 paper” error message on my Lexmark MS510dn. Does this only happen between ubuntu and Lexmark? No idea, probably not. However I wanted to emphatically point out my OS just in case. I must have wasted a collective half a day on this when…
SPINNING UP THE PODMAN NEXTCLOUD CONTAINER – TERMINAL-COPY-PASTE STYLE
What is this? This post is kind of my original journey into podman and getting a quick proof-of-concept pod up and running. In the end I changed paths away from quadlets and terminal-pasting in favour of podman-compose (like docker compose) style setup because I like the neatness of the ‘recipe’ of a compose.yaml file. However, I am not done with…
How to Setup an Ubuntu Server as a Podman Container Environment
What is this? This started out as a learning adventure to see whether it’s possible to turn an old laptop into a Nextcloud container using Podman (instead of Docker) on Ubuntu. Spoiler alert: It is!

HOW TO GET STARTED WITH RETICULUM ON UBUNTU MACHINE
What is this all about? I discovered Reticulum and wanted to simply quickly test it with two laptops (to start) to get a quick feel. I decided I would also use the Sideband app as the GUI interface for it because it works on Android and I assumed that would be my second test. I based this tutorial on the…
SETTING UP OLLAMA ON AN UBUNTU MACHINE
This tutorial is an ubuntu (vanilla) version of this excellent ollama blog. Following this blog wasn’t so easy for me because it assumed a bunch of dependencies that I didn’t have on my ubuntu machine. The blog doesn’t really say clearly that you need pip and venv installed on the local machine in order to make this blog work smoothly.…

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.
