Sounds like it's better for you to ask now so you can decline the job if they're a Windows only shop.

One thing I would recommend is using a note taking app to create snippets of fixes or personalization changes for your OS that you've made. For me that includes things like how to add my laptop's webcam to the blacklist and other things that I'd need to spend time looking up since I don't do them that often.

This is one of the reasons I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's been a solid distro for me.

Ah, looks like I should have used journalctl -b | grep stirling-pdf

[–] bravemonkey@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

A couple of reasons - I switched from Pop! OS to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and the Docker version in the repository is 24.07 compared to 25.02 (the current version of Docker) with the official Docker site only supporting SLES on s390x, not Tumbleweed on x86_64. The main reason though is that it can run without root which is appealing; apparently I have a lot to learn on setting that up. The glib statements of 'drop in replacement' that I"ve seen isn't quite accurate apparently outside of the commandline options.

I didn't know enough to try running it interactively - that was a great suggestion and showed many access denied errors trying to access a log file path, so thanks for that suggestion.

Interesting, it runs if I remove the mount points. It's binding to port 8080, so nothing to do with privileged ports here. I'll need to look into the subuid and subgid edits - I read the docs for those and understood them to be for multiple users on the same machine running the same container, didn't realize it was for all users including my own but that makes sense. Thanks for the direction!

Looks like it is the mount points; if I remove those it runs. Going to follow @ubergeek77's suggestion. (Does tagging with @ work on Lemmy?)

Thanks - this shows exited (1). Running in foreground mode from another suggestion shows the same access denied and file not found error repeatedly - 'Suppressed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: logs/info.log (Permission denied). Looks like I don't have podman configured correctly, going to work through that.

Thanks, docker.io/frooodle/s-pdf:latest was the only repository that would download it from the options it gave me. I'm working through the other suggestions as well. journalctl isn't giving me anything when I try grep with stirling, podman or s-pdf. It's 100% likely I'm not using journalctl properly either.

Sure, my non-technical family all use it too and won't switch to anything else, but for people who rely on search for their jobs (and many others) have certainly noticed its decline.

I signed up for Kagi after the trial. I'm very subscription adverse, but this one was something I don't mind paying for.
