How to install Mautic on an Ubuntu Server at Digital Ocean
The server installation guide in the docs for Mautic is ‘pretty good’ but still expects that you’re already a system admin kind of person and now how to do stuff. I’ll walk you through the install in the usual way I do in hopes that it helps some of the steps. This link shows the server requirements users install apache2:…
Problems renewing Letsencrypt certificate on Nextcloud Snap
Super quick post here to explain my problem and solution for why my Nextcloud Snap Letsencrypt certificate wouldn’t renew on my ubuntu server and how I fixed it. I got a warning that my SSL certificate was expired when I was using my nextcloud client. I read a few blogs on how to renew it and the solution was always…
How to Create a 3D Object Out of a 2D Die Line in Blender
First, as always, a big thank you to everyone who has made Blender possible. No question Blender is one of the very best free and open source projects in the world. To my surprise (again) this particular need of creating a 3D object from a 2D die line was not very well documented for Blender or out there in the…
How to install WordPress on Ubuntu Server
This won’t be my usual detailed blog because there are a lot of blogs out there on the topic. All in all, this blog got me most of the way there. However, it didn’t really go into the details related to the apache conf files so I’ll embellish his blog a bit… ok, the more I look at it, my…
How to Set up your Ubuntu Server with a new or updated SSH key
Backdrop For some reason this particular skill has been on my ‘fear list’ for many years. I had created ssh keys before, I had ssh’d into lots of servers, but one day, I migrated from one laptop to another and tried to ssh into my work computer and… boom: ssh root@123.123.123.123 root@123.123.123.123: Permission denied (publickey) In the past, I just…
How to deal with the Akaunting default COA account setting error
After setting up my second Akaunting instance (great work, Akaunting team!) I realized again that there is a confusing setup step related to the Chart of Accounts “Double Entry” module. Of course if you are running a ‘real’ business you’ll absolutely have to buy this module, but after you set up your COA for your business, you’ll probably try to…
HOW TO RE-INDEX YOUR SUITECRM INSTANCE
This blog was great and ultimately gave me enough info to get this done, however, it wasn’t for a rookie in MYSQL since the whole part about ‘deleting rows’ assumes you know how to delete a row. It looks like I also wrote a cpanel version of the same need a few years back. Also I elected to turn off…
How to move Decred from Decredition to Canadian Fiat Bank Account
I was quite happy to learn I had some decred. I recall when I first received it that it was very nice, ahead of its time, and well thought out crypto. The problem was I didn’t know how to trade in crypto, let alone trade in a less-than-top-3 cryptos. Without further adoo, here is what I did and I hope…
