installation steps

[Kanchangk]

Hi,

The repository looks promising and suffice my requirements, it seems.
But I am not sure how to install it in local machine (windows) or in a VPS (linux).

It would be very helpful if you can provide a step by step guide to install and run it.

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for your interest in the project. I haven't maintained the code for a while so I cannot promise if everything still works.

You can actually more or less deduct the steps needed by looking at the captain file: https://github.com/Eleven-Trading/TradeNote/blob/main/captain-definition

Plese beware that you also need a Parse.com instance running as well as a PHP server with the different functions I've put in the files.

I have a much cleaner and more developed version but I haven't open sourced it. as mentioned in the readme, I'l consider doing so if I see there is enough interest around this project.

I'd love to see this and at least explore it. I'm still seeking a solution in this space...

Ok, if I get 20 likes on this post, I'll create a custom group amongst which I'll do one of 2 things:

• Share the code
• Or give access to my instance where people can at least try the platform

So, as I understand, @Kanchangk and @agrieco, you would be interested ?

So don't hesitate to share along.

PS : can you tell me why you are interested in this project ? is it because it's open source / free ? Because of the privacy ? Because you can run it ? because of the UX ? etc....

[agrieco]

For me, 'Why' is (in this order): Free, Privacy, extensibility (because it is OSS).

[Kanchangk]

@7aklhz Thanks for prompt response and considering to share your project.
I actually like to host things on my own because of the privacy and the flexibility it provides. and honestly, I also liked the simplicity of the UI of your project.

[7aklhz]

Thanks.
And the current version I use I find actually even better UI with dark mode, mobile friendly and no server (no PHP functions, just Parse.com). I'm glad to share but need to see there's some traction before I dedicate more time sharing in Github (cause it requires for me to adapt somewhat the code).

[Kanchangk]

I am sure it will attract more and more people once they are actually able to use it. I mean, even I would have simply skipped the repo as I was not able figure out how to use it, but I decided to open a thread as I genuinely liked the project and wanted to take the chance of getting a reply :)

[7aklhz]

I'm sure your right. Will see if I have time to reopen the GitHub.

@Kanchangk, @agrieco : you've motivated me to reactivate the project ;). I'm about to push the new version. However, are you willing to help me out and test the step by step process and give me feedback ? I've never installed the project from zero so I want to make sure the explanation is clear and that I'm not missing an important step/issue and see what errors come up.

Yep- as long as we're not installing on Windows.

I'd love to see a docker install method. Im happy to work with you on translating what you have into a docker install.

Well, it so happens, I did a docker build installation option ;) Happy to optimize it if possible: I wanted to create an image with env variables. However, as I'm not using any server, the only option seems to use the NGIX conf file. But that seemed a little bit complicated. Once I push, have a look and tell me if there is a solution to create and image and let people inject the variables as env variables

Ok, I just commited the last version. It includes steps for building the project. It would be great if you could let me know your thoughts and check for errors

[agrieco]

Sounds good. I've been battling parse install. will follow up. apparently latest parse dashboard install has a known error ;-( parse-community/parse-dashboard#2196

[7aklhz]

Sorry to hear that. I'm using Caprover to install Parse and it worked well.
