I made two strategic mistakes. The first was reading about how to install a Python program using virtual environments until I had tears streaming down my face and finally it failed because I think I need the Qt 5.15.4 runtime installed and I didn't know how to proceed. Then I made the second mistake when I thought it was probably a good idea when I read "If you have Docker installed, the webapp can be run in a container…" It's been downloading and installing stuff ever since.
@Mayobrot@alex The python tooling is the perfect embodiment of the modern developer idea of "it works on my machine, now let's just add more layers until it runs on others. When it stops working, add more layers".
And then docker, with its "fuck it, a pity no one solved this problem ever before, just wrap everything inside a new layer and start the process again".
