Repairing LibrreOffice conversion odt to pdf in parallel PHP script, as it sometimes hangs.

<?
$cmd = 'export HOME=/tmp && cd /tmp  && libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf  ~/16c6801746f3e924b254abb0089f0a0f.odt ';
exec($cmd, $output, $retCode);

The problem is in access to /tmp/.config and /tmp/.cache for the same user (apache) from different processes. The solution was to generate a temporary subdir for every conversion and pass it to HOME parameter.

Podman (docker) cheatsheet

podman logs postgres12

Postgresql from container

$ podman pull postgres
$ mkdir ~/podman/volumes/postgres
$ podman run --rm --name pg-docker -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=docker  
   -d -p 5432:5432 \r
   -v $HOME/podman/volumes/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data:z postgres
$ podman ps
$ psql -h localhost -W -U postgres
$ podman stop pg-docker

The :z suffix solves the permission denied problem for the volume.

Don't write command-line interfaces (generate them)

Instead of writing a command line menu use hug or typer - it is like implementing REST interface for your command line program.
