 In most Linux distributions, unprivileged applications are not allowed to bind themselves to ports below 1024. To fix this, we'll need to update a system parameter via `sysctl`:
 ``` shell
 sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80
-sudo echo "net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80" > /etc/sysctl.d/99-podman.conf

+To make the change persist on reboot, create a new file under `/etc/sysctl.d/` named `99-podman.conf` and past the line `net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80`. You'll need to use `sudo` privileges for this.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 If the Nextcloud page isn't loading as expected or you're getting an error when launching your service, the container output logs are your friends! Run `podman ps` to see if your containers are running. If they are, use `podman logs <container name>` to see the latest output from each container. It's usually pretty easy to spot red flags there.
