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-112
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
http://localhost:5762/setup.pl
Creation and privileged management of company databaseshttp://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.
