I’m running a very small business and now I have a need to start tracking my sales and expenses for the business. Not looking for a full blown Quickbooks type of thing but if that’s all that’s available then no big deal, I can just use what I need and ignore the rest.
Obviously, I have to self host this. Hardware available varies but I have several raspberry pi’s laying around not doing much (3, 4 & 5). Ideally dockerized. My research shows GnuCash, Akaunting and Odoo.
What does this awesome community recommend?
P.S. Tried spinning up Akaunting on an rpi 5 and encountered a breaking bug (already reported to their github).
I really liked the UI of Crater, but they stopped maintaining the open-source version. It looks like there’s an active fork now, so I might go back. But I’ve been using Invoice Ninja.
“Just to be clear I just need to track my sales/revenue (even if input is manual) and track expenses (bonus if I could upload a picture of a receipt).
I don’t need to actually send an invoice (I do this straight from my website and it’s a seamless integration so not looking to reinvent this wheel, yet!)
Given the above, is in InvoiceNinja still a good candidate?”
