InvoicePlane
InvoicePlane is a self-hosted open source application for managing your quotes, invoices, clients and payments.
Installation
Install the invoiceplaneAUR 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 the server.modules section.
nginx
Here is an example configuration to include in nginx.conf for a subdomain with php-fpm:
/etc/nginx/sites-available/invoiceplane.conf
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
root /usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane;
index index.php;
server_name invoice.''domain.tld'';
client_body_timeout 60;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_param PHP_ADMIN_VALUE open_basedir=/tmp:/usr/share/webapps/invoiceplane:/dev/urandom:/usr/share/php;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
client_max_body_size 100M;
}
}
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 a drop-in file for php-fpm.service.
Add and save it with the 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 and follow the instructions.
