Installing Virtualbox Guest Additions on a Windows 10 VM on an Ubuntu Host

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.

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…

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…
