A local large language model by itself is just text-in, text-out — it cannot open a file, run your compiler, or commit to git. Getting a useful local AI setup is therefore a three-layer stack, and this post installs it from the bottom up: Ollama — the model server. Downloads models and serves them on […]
Byobu is a powerful text-based window manager and terminal multiplexer.

1 |
xhost +local: |
Then create the container and give it a name, do not forget –privileged :
|
1 |
docker run -v /home/$USER/:/home/$USER/ -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --name ros2 -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -e QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 --network=host --privileged -it ros:humble-perception-jammy bash |
If you have already created that container, just start it
|
1 |
docker start -i ros2 |
or you can create a temporary container to get deleted after exit:
|
1 |
docker run -v /home/$USER/:/home/$USER/ -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -e QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 --network=host --privileged --rm -it ros:humble-perception-jammy bash |

Detached HEAD Before everything, let’s have a look at some stuff. Everything in Git is about commits, and many git commands accept commits as a parameter, i.e.
