Install TradeNote on Windows

Recently, I installed TradeNote on Windows for a client.

TradeNote is an open-source trading journal that helps traders store, analyze, and review all their trades so they can become more consistent and profitable.

Installation on Linux or other Unix-based operating systems is pretty straightforward. However, on Windows, there are a few additional steps—especially if you’re not familiar with Unix-based environments.

Here’s how I install TradeNote on Windows.

Requirements

Windows 10 version 2004 or higher (Build 19041+) or Windows 11
WSL 2 installed
Docker Desktop installed

Make sure Docker Desktop is configured to use WSL 2 as its backend. It is enabled by default, but better make sure of it.

CasaOS on macOS with External Drives

Previously, I wrote about how to install CasaOS on macOS, both as a written guide and in a video. I received several similar questions, such as:

Any way to mount external volumes? Without volumes, it is useless. Please someone help.

How can I share my actual hard disks on CasaOS?

Thanks for the tutorial, it works great. How do I configure an external USB HDD? Thank you.

It is working perfectly, but we have one “big” problem. I have three other external drives and I couldn’t mount them all into CasaOS.

Basically, many of you wanted to know how to mount external drives to CasaOS on macOS. That makes sense, because Apple charges a premium for large internal storage, and it’s usually much cheaper to expand your homelab storage using external drives.

Microsoft SQL Server on Apple Silicon ARM64 Mac

Have you ever wanted to develop a web app on your Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, and so on …) that uses Microsoft SQL Server as its database engine? I often do that when working on ASP.NET apps, since they’re commonly paired with SQL Server. Most of the time, I can just use a remote SQL Server instance for development. But sometimes I need to run one locally.

Unfortunately, Microsoft SQL Server doesn’t officially support ARM64 macOS.

How to Install CasaOS on macOS

I have an unused Mac at home that I use as a homelab server. Naturally, I self-host several web apps and services on it.

Usually, I use Docker and manually write docker-compose.yaml files to run web applications. It works great, but maintaining multiple docker-compose.yaml files is pretty tedious for a homelab setup.

I asked myself: is there a simpler way to install web apps on macOS? Something as simple as the macOS App Store itself?

How to Install Docker Desktop on macOS with a Package Manager

Docker is a useful piece of software. Usually, Developers use it for the development and deployment of their apps.

But we as a user also can benefit from Docker, especially if we want to install and use web-based apps.

Enough intro, let’s get started.

I recommend installing the Homebrew package manager first on your macOS. If you don’t know how I already wrote it here.

Once you have Homebrew on your Mac, you can install Docker Desktop from the Terminal.

Simple OpenVPN Server Set Up with Docker

When I was doing some works, there was a requirement to whitelist development machine by IP Address from the United States. Since I was located in one of South East Asia countries, obviously I didn’t have a connection with US IP Address. So it would be reasonable to buy a VPN service for this.

But why buy a VPN service if we could use the existing VPS and set up a VPN server on it?

Can't Start Android Emulator on macOS? It's Probably Conflicting with Docker

Weeks ago, when I was working on Android project, I noticed something unusual on my macOS machine. I couldn’t start my Android emulator. Every time I built the app, it just never showed up.

I rarely use real phone to test my app since Google now provides best Android emulator experience. So that’s why I always use Android emulator as first solution to test my app. So this kind of problem really made me down.
