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

Installation

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;

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 in the server.modules section.

nginx

Here is an example configuration to include in for a subdomain with php-fpm:

Explicitly permit InvoicePlane directories for php-fpm

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

Create a drop-in file for .

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 service and assign write permissions to the user.

Once database and webserver have been setup, visit the installation wizard page at and follow the instructions.
