I run an Ubuntu server at work for internal purposes and updated my PHP version to 8.1. That broke PHPMyAdmin (because it was quite outdated) so I had to update it. And the process was fairly simple. Continue reading to learn how I did it.

Installing PHP 8.1 on Ubuntu
February 26th, 2023
If you’re like me and like to wait until all the bugs are sorted out with a new PHP version before upgrading, then you probably need to update your PHP version on your system. I should have done this since February last year but I got caught up with other stuff.

February 12th, 2023
At work the only VM I can use is Hyper V due to network policies and the like. So I installed Ubuntu, fired it up and noticed the screen resolution was low. I needed it changed because this resolution was not working for me. It was a bit difficult to get work done. Enter CLI or command line interface.

February 5th, 2023

Plex Media Server Installation on Ubuntu
June 11th, 2017
I wanted my own Netflix type server to stream my video files and used Tonido for that. But I recently connected to a friend’s Plex Server and I was blown away by the presentation and layout of Plex. Now, I want to use Plex again…even if it means reorganizing all 1TB of my media files. I think it’s worth it in the end for an authentic NetFlix like experience (which is what I wanted in the first place).
