I’m now well on my way to investing my time and support behind Akaunting software but I feel I should continue to blog my frustrations as well so others can benefit, save some time, and hopefully help improve the code (most important). I had relatively successfully set up Company 1 (“Co1” from here on in) and Wanted to create Co2.…

Backing Common Stuff Up in Akaunting
Warning: I’m so busy these days I don’t have time to do nice editing and correction of typos but whenever I have something I think needs to be logged for others I just slam it out. Apologies for the lack of polish but hopefully the content is valuable. After I took so many days to finally set up my business…
How to Deal with Apple hfs+ Files and Hard Drives on Ubuntu
Short version of the story is that I ended up with a drive from some guy who uses Crapple stuff. It was a hard drive with business stuff on it, unencrypted (I can’t believe I thought he would have cared about protecting the company data…). My plan was to simply move the contents to a temporary drive, set up LUKS…
HOW TO INSTALL AKAUNTING ON UBUNTU SERVER (MANUAL)
I thought I would install Akaunting the long and hard way rather than the one click install with Digital Ocean – which is probably the smart way to go. I should say that, sadly, after I got Akaunting setup I could not synchronize directly with my bank in Canada as it seems that it does not support the file formats…
HOW TO MAKE A VIRTUAL MACHINE VISIBLE ON THE LAN WITH VIRTUALBOX AND UBUNTU
Why this post? Some new owners took over a company. The previous owner had delivered a crm system to the new owners which ‘ran on a server upstairs’.

Installing Formtools on a Server with WordPress
I’m not sure how niche this need is but I was in need of making a quick website and then suddenly needed a quick but robust web form tool. I I thought for sure I had written at least a blog or two about this awesome tool at formtools.org but apparently I have not. I deeply apologize to all the…
HOW TO INSTALL SUITECRM ON UBUNTU SERVER
Suitecrm is absolutely awesome, free and open software to run your organization or business. I’ve messed around with various crm’s like Salesforce but SuiteCRM is just so flexible. Oh, and it doesn’t cost any money. Oh, and if you need help or other stuff you can just pay people to build what you need. I haven’t explored all sectors but…
SuiteCRM Post-Installation Housekeeping
If you’ve been following along any of my other SuiteCRM (“SCRM” from hereon in) blog posts, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of this free and open SuiteCRM software project. As such, I do my best to document things that are either easily forgotten or difficult to find online. Hopefully some of this is valuable to you. 1 –…
How to Recover Admin Access and Password from Digital Ocean WordPress Install
What happened: I thought I had saved my admin user and password safely in my password manager. Two weeks later after installing a WP instance, I realized I had not. Oops… Obviously the first thing I did was try the ‘reset password’ link on the /wp-login.php page. Oddly this failed. It would not send me an email, whether I used…
