Maintained releases

The project maintains 2 stable releases. Which currently are:

stable: 1.12 - Installation Instructions 1.12
oldstable 1.11 - Installation Instructions 1.11

All release notes and security bulletins are sent to the announcement mail list. Please sign up to this low frequency list for important updates.

The development release is always the next version higher than stable. 

For more information about older versions, see the FAQ item about supported releases. Older versions should no longer be used. Versions prior to the stable releases listed above may have known security issues that will not be resolved.

Additional installation information may also be found in the book.

Docker images

There are production level Docker images available on GitHub (for x86_64, ARM64 and ARM32 architectures). New containers are released on every stable and old-stable release. Docker images are around 300MB in size.

The docker repository identifier is "ledgersmb/ledgersmb" with the "latest" tag always pointing to the most recent stable release. The "master" tag points to the most recent alpha or beta of the development version.

Official release distribution

 The latest official release of LedgerSMB is always at our download site. Releases are signed with GPG to assert integrity. Our public GPG key can be found on MIT's key server or on pgpkeys.eu. Install  and upgrade info.

You can verify the release with the command

$ gpg --verify ledgersmb-<version>.tar.gz.asc ledgersmb-<version>.tar.gz

Distribution packages

 A Debian package is available in Debian v12 (stable, 'bookworm'), but will be removed from 'trixie' (the upcoming release). Note that the current LedgerSMB version that is recommended for use is the current stable series, which is not in Debian. We're looking for maintainers which will be able to get newer versions into Debian.

Newer packages than those distributed by Debian can be found in the LedgerSMB APT repository (along with their updated dependancies as necessary).

 Ubuntu packages are available in the standard distributions based off of the Debian packages.

Newer packages than those distributed in Ubuntu can be found in the LedgerSMB PPA repository.

 RPM Packaging contributions solicited.

FreeBSD Packaging contributions solicited

 OpenBSD Packaging contributions solicited.

 Virtual Box No up-to-date images at this time.
