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.

System requirements

Note that these are the system requirements for LedgerSMB 1.11.0-dev, the current development version. Please check the system requirements for the 1.8 old stable version and the 1.9 version.

Server

  • Perl 5.32+
  • PostgreSQL 13+
  • Web server (e.g. nginx, Apache, lighttpd, Varnish)

The web server is only required for production installs; for evaluation purposes a simpler setup can be used, as detailed below.

Quick start

For from-tarball installation instructions, see https://ledgersmb.org/content/installing-ledgersmb-19

Installation

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

 $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker/1.10/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

  • http://localhost:5762/setup.pl
    Creation and privileged management of company databases
  • http://localhost:5762/login.pl
    Normal login for the application

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.
