    Basic internet precautions: if you’re looking at a GitHub for a famous piece of software that has only 250 total downloads: double check the Url, read any commands before you run them and compare to documentation if you’re unfamiliar with a piece of one, if you run something in docker or similar containerization for any reason make sure you set the PUID and GUID of the containers to a user other than root or they’ll be root by default
