<SOLVED> Please help out a dummy
Hello everyone, new here. I'm also, unfortunately, extremely new to Linux in general...as in I installed it last night for the first time. I tried to originally get immich going on Windows 10 on my server, however the further I got into trying to get it set up, the more roadblocks I hit. I'm running reasonably old hardware (it's just an old office computer I got from my previous workplace, they were getting rid of them), and I kept hitting restrictions in windows that wouldn't allow me to use docker properly. So, I scrapped that, and figured I'd just use Ubuntu to get it up and running.
I thought I was competent enough to get by with a couple of guides. I was sorely mistaken. I try to follow guides, but I get stuck at parts where it's assumed I know what the hell I'm doing in Linux, which unfortunately I don't. Am I going to be able to get this going, or do I need a reasonable knowledge of working in the Linux environment to be able to set things up? I'm pretty sure I have everything I need in terms of the files required, but I have no idea how to configure them to my system. If anyone is up for a (hopefully not too great) challenge, I'd appreciate any help. I'd be willing to start over from scratch as I'm not too invested into the system yet, it's pretty fresh and I don't have any personal stuff on it yet. This will hopefully be set up solely as my storage server, but I'm just unfamiliar with the OS enough that I'm stuck.
Thanks for reading, and I'll accept any help!
