Having installation issues, Docker gave oddish error reports, though I will guess that the main issue was lack of drive space. In the meantime, I tried Podman Desktop, which seemed better at guiding with installation issues, but once going, I was lost at figuring how to set up self-hosted containers. Seems Podman is more for developers, and I didn't want to spend much time. Docker is more clear for usage.

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.
