Fair enough – there's nothing wrong with expecting systems to be able to be ran in dev mode suitable for running locally or within test containers, and that would be my expectation as well.

As you say, the inner monologue writing style of "I have this server and this thing and tried this and also I don't like this" may have led me astray as it didn't feel particularly focused, so it wasn't super clear what the complaint actually was.

Yeahh, understandable, I had to read the linked articles twice to form coherency. More time than I would have invested normally, I only did so after reading your comment xD

Makes me wonder if inner-monologue type stuff is even useful to post to the internet (something ive wanted to post more off because it sucks less energy from writing motivation). Takes more effort to parse as a reader though...
