User took me 2 days… with a nudge to get me over the line. Root took < 5 minutes lol.
I got thrown off big time because yesterday something I was trying to do kept crashing the server so I reasoned that I was doing was completely wrong. Then I went down a massive rabbit hole until I got that nudge which clarified that the server was not supposed to be crashing when I was doing what I was trying to do.
