Description

LedgerSMB is a free web-based double-entry accounting system, featuring quotation, ordering, invoicing, projects, timecards, inventory management, shipping and more ...

Directly send orders and invoices from the built-in e-mail function to your customers or RFQs (request for quotation) to your vendors with PDF attachments, from anywhere in the world with the browser-based UI.

With its data stored in the enterprise-strength PostgreSQL open source database system, the system is known to operate smoothly for businesses with thousands of transactions per week.

Customer visible output is fully customizable in templates, allowing easy and fast customization. Supported output formats are PDF, CSV, HTML, ODF and more.

Note: Safari is very sensitive to using LedgerSMB over HTTPS; using it with a regular HTTP connection is unsupported by the project team. Please be aware that using HTTPS is the recommended setup, so that Safari is considered to be fully supported.

Note: Earliest dates and versions come from http://caniuse.com. Only the most recent data is available for Mobile browsers other than Safari, because they are pushed out to the devices as soon as they are releases, so the number of devices running old browsers is negligible.

Quick start

For from-tarball installation instructions, see https://ledgersmb.org/content/installing-ledgersmb-111

Installation

This instruction assumes you have Docker installed as well as docker-compose.

 $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker/1.12/docker-compose.yml
 $ docker-compose up -d

This creates both the LedgerSMB image and a database image with a persistent database. Note that this setup is not sufficient for production purposes because it lacks secure connections to protect your users' passwords.

Next steps

The system is installed and should be available for evaluation through

The system is ready for preparation for first use.

NOTE: This setup does not use a webserver like nginx or Apache. Setups which do include one will yield a faster user experience due to (much) faster page load times and web request responses. For production setups, please consider adding a webserver to the installation.
