Research Work as we Try to Migrate Quickly to ERPNext

My Arts Background makes different in the way that I know all the Non-technical Assumptions and Questions people who are NOT IT will ask. My Goal is to have more 3rd Worlders like me have access to cheaper solutions.

So many firsts on saturday (2020 09 19) and Friday (2020 09 18)

1) first time to use gnome disk utility (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-disk-utility gnome-disk-utility 2.36.1 UDisks 2.8.4 wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Disks) in Ubuntu to burn a raw image into a disk – both the goldenfir 256 and a 16GB USB. I don’t know why Dell couldn’t detect it. I think I need to set the partition a certain way.

I realize Disk Utility can Create raw images and write images into drives.
This is crucial for fixing drives or creating drives or backing up drives.

2) the first time to create a Linux VMM in alicloud. I discovered alicloud uses Virtual Machine Manager aka QEMU – the same VMM used by redhat and you can easily install in Ubuntu. I clicked on the system log after deleting the instance when I could not figure out how to download the VM and saw the list of routines that I saw in VMM when I was tinkering with it.

Lessons

The Alicloud Minecraft Tutorial is more Illustrative because it shows the critical steps they dont normally show. Its more “common knowledge” as almost every IT person may have tried to set up a Minecraft Server and if you set up one at home you realize its very straight forward.
Now I have to research the Security Group Configuration. Then I have to test this out.

3) today I tried setting up VMM of Ubuntu 18.04.5 as rehearsal when I tried to set up a “bare metal” server of Erpnext.

Virtual Machine (VBOX particularly) of Erpnext can get unstable. So we are going to try to get a bare metal server setup. I’ve set aside 3k as backup in case I have to pay an consultant to walk us through the installation and set up. In my experience it just fail to connect and its unavailable. I think its possible the resource management just has hiccups.

By the time October 3 comes around I’ll probably have all the materials to show some family biz people how to set up erpnext.

They won’t need the Pfsense training if they don’t need to host it online But if they do I can give them that training maybe by Nov. Pldt requires about a 15-60k leased line for a static IP. You better check globe (which sells it for 800php/mo per ip with their Business Line, our plant has a Globe and Eastern line).

Any IT training means some hours of the week every week troubleshooting. As you master each thing and figure out a working strategy. Hopefully I can pay forward Ryan’s Baclits linux training as people learn to set up Erpnext.

So in the creation process, I am given the option to have a public IP. so I only have a network 0. It doesnt seem to come up in the Search why isnt the server public but it comes up in Google cloud that I need a Load balancer, which is also an option in Alicloud.

I remember reading that Google Cloud had an End to End Server tutorial like Minecraft Server.

I think these are the kinds of Tutorials which is “End to End” are helpful. I remember re-discovering the Ubuntu Tutorial pages. Noticing a Pattern that most of the tutorials is development (people installing coding like Javascript and python), I’m wondering where the backing up tutorials are
