Session expired immediately after logging in

Submitted by ehu on

When I log in, LedgerSMB 1.8 or higher immediately says my session has expired. What can I do to fix this?

Short answer: add the "--preload-app" flag to the Starman command line.

Long answer: As of LedgerSMB 1.8, session information is stored in an encrypted cookie. To make sure the encryption key is unique for every installation, a new encryption secret is being generated each time LedgerSMB is started. However, Starman (without the "--preload-app" flag) loads the application in each forked worker separately, leading to different encryption secrets in each worker with the indicated behaviour as a result.

Does LedgerSMB support "sub-accounts"?

Submitted by ehu on

Yes. LedgerSMB has a mechanism called "Account headings". The headings are the opposite of what Intuit explains about Quickbooks for their subaccount support: Quickbooks splits an account into multiple and aggregates those new accounts into the old one for reporting. To achieve the same in LedgerSMB, you create multiple accounts and one or more headings. LedgerSMB then aggregates the totals of the accounts per heading. The system used by LedgerSMB closely resembles what MYOB describes about their accounts and headers.

Yes.

Installing latest LedgerSMB using Docker Compose

Submitted by ehu on

By far the fastest procedure for installing LedgerSMB is by using the published Docker images: Being an ERP, there are many dependencies to be installed and all of them are included in the images, with the exception of the required PostgreSQL database. There are two ways to provide the PostgreSQL functionality: by setting up a separate PostgreSQL server or by using a PostgreSQL-providing Docker container.
