InvoicePlane

InvoicePlane is a self-hosted open source application for managing your quotes, invoices, clients and payments.

Installation

Install the invoiceplane^AUR package.

Configuration

Database

Here is an example on how you could setup a database for Invoiceplane with MariaDB called invoiceplane for the user invoiceplane identified by the password password:

CREATE DATABASE invoiceplane;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON invoiceplane.* TO invoiceplane@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Web Server

Apache

Create the Apache HTTP Server configuration file:

/etc/httpd/conf/extra/invoiceplane.conf

Alias /invoiceplane "/usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane"
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane">
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    AllowOverride All
    Options FollowSymlinks
    Require all granted
</Directory>

And include it in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

# InvoicePlane configuration
Include conf/extra/invoiceplane.conf

Lighttpd

Make an alias for invoiceplane in your Lighttpd configuration.

 alias.url = ( "/invoiceplane" => "/usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane/")

Then enable mod_alias, mod_fastcgi and mod_cgi in your config ( server.modules section )

nginx

Here is an example config to include in nginx.conf for a subdomain with php-fpm:

/etc/nginx/sites-available/invoiceplane.conf

server {

    }
}

Explicitly permit InvoicePlane directories for php-fpm

Since version 7.4 php-fpm is hardened per default and revokes read/write access on /usr (and sub-directories). Therefore it is also necessary to explicitly give permissions on /usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane directories.

Create an override.conf for php-fpm:

# systemctl edit php-fpm.service

Add and save following content.

/etc/systemd/system/php-fpm.service.d/override.conf

[Service]
ReadWritePaths = /usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane/ipconfig.php
ReadWritePaths = /usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane/uploads/
ReadWritePaths = /usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane/application/logs
ReadWritePaths = /usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane/vendor/mpdf/mpdf/tmp

Afterwards restart the php-fpm service and assign write permissions to the http user.

Installation wizard

Once database and webserver have been setup, visit the installation wizard page at http://your-invoiceplane-domain.com/index.php/setup^{[dead link 2021-11-12 ⓘ]} and follow the instructions.
