    :whale: Self-contained ERPNext Docker Image base on Debian

  • Self-hosting ERPNext is a truly excellent FOSS solution to replace accounting apps like QuickBooks, if you do your own accounting or are at least able to choose the software you use for bookkeeping:

    ERPNext is a full ERP with a bunch of modules, but you only have to use the ones you need. As nice as GNUCash is for offline accounting, ERPNext is much easier to use for accounting if you need to attach items and notes to your journal entries, or provide multi-user access to the books.

    A third-party Docker image is the easiest way to self-host ERPNext:
