Open WebUi supported a dozen or so search engines out of the box the last time I looked, most emanating from a feature request on github commented on by well engaged users of the software. If your fave search engine isn’t supported there are well documented how-tos on rolling your own. Check the community plugins as well - someone may have posted something, or an existing one could be adapted. GL

messenger on mbasic used to work for me for years on my mobile browser but then they stopped that a few months ago for me (redirects to ‘get messenger’ splash). . Can anyone confirm mbasic messenger still works on mobile?

wait what how am I hearing about this Firefox docker for the first time. Got a kink to the dockerhub?

Hopefully this will work remotely on a smartphone because I’m looking for all ways to defeat FB messenger and access it through a desktop browser which they enforce. Thanks for sharing

The easiest way to run local LLMs on older hardware is Llamafile https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

For non-nvidia GPUs, webgpu is the way to go https://github.com/abi/secret-llama

Without knowing anything about your specific setup I’d guess the issue is with docker not playing nice with your OS or vice versa. Can you execute the standard docker hello-world app? https://docker-handbook.farhan.dev/en/hello-world-in-docker/
If not then my money’s on this being an issue the OS. How did you install docker on mint, using sudo with a package install?
Fyi don’t feel bad - I installed docker on 3 different Linux distros last month and each had their quirks that I had to work my way through. Docker virtualization is some crafty kernel-level magic which can go wrong very fast if the environment is not just right.
