@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat It appears you're doing something wrong then. But I agree, setting it up by hand from scratch is a hassle especially if you don't know much about what you're doing.
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat Jeez, sounds like you had fun. But I feel you, I had to do the same a while back. I still have no idea about any of it :D
@TheDoctor I eventually got it to work, but like I said its still janky. Collabora in Docker caused me more headache than I'd like to admit. I think my main problem was Apache, MySQL, and MariaDB, as I have had zero experience with any of them up until this point and was forced to do work with them a good bit. Plus it didn't help that the laptop is so slow it takes a good twenty seconds to show a neofetch.
