Simple Accounting can be deployed to any container environment (e.g. Docker or Kubernetes) via
orangebuffalo/simple-accounting
Docker image.
Simple Accounting uses H2 database with file-based persistence. The database file is stored in /data
directory.
Mount it to the container to preserve between container restarts / upgrades. Port 9393
should be exposed
to access the UI.
We use automatic schema migration, so the database will be updated to the latest version on application start.
We highly recommend providing the following environment parameters to change the default credentials for the database:
SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD
- database password.SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME
- database username.
Simple Accounting can Google Drive to store related documents. To enable this feature, you need to provide the following environment parameters:
SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_GOOGLE-DRIVE_CLIENT-ID
- Google Drive client ID.SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_GOOGLE-DRIVE_CLIENT-SECRET
- Google Drive client secret.
Please refer to the Google Drive docs for more details on how to create a project and obtain client ID and secret.
Use these URLs (based on your host) as the authorized redirect URIs:
/api/v1/auth/storage/google-drive/callback
/api/v1/auth/oauth2/callback
/oauth-callback
Enable Google Drive API for you project.
Simple Accounting can automatically backup the database to Dropbox. To enable this feature, you need to provide the following environment parameters:
SIMPLEACCOUNTING_BACKUP_ENABLED
=true
- enable backups.SIMPLEACCOUNTING_BACKUP_DROPBOX_ACTIVE
=true
- enable Dropbox backup.SIMPLEACCOUNTING_BACKUP_DROPBOX_ACCESSTOKEN
- Dropbox access token.SIMPLEACCOUNTING_BACKUP_DROPBOX_REFRESHTOKEN
- Dropbox refresh token.SIMPLEACCOUNTING_BACKUP_DROPBOX_CLIENTID
- Dropbox client ID.SIMPLEACCOUNTING_BACKUP_DROPBOX_CLIENTSECRET
- Dropbox client secret.
Refer to Dropbox docs for how to setup the app and get the credentials. You can then use Postman to obtain the initial access and refresh token.
On the first start, the application will create a default admin user. Check the following logs to get the credentials:
Application database does not contain any admin users. Created a new user with login 'admin' and password '...'. It is highly recommended to change the generated password.
Please use these credentials to login and change the password. It is possible to rename the admin user using the standard user editing functionality.
Admin user can then create other admins and/or regular users.
