Akaunting is a free open source online accounting software designed for small businesses and freelancers. This universal accounting software can help you run your small business more efficiently. It has an extensive feature set that aims to provide you with an simple all-in-one accounting solution. From its user-friendly dashboard, you can track expenses, generate reports, manage your books, manage your employees, handle your invoices/bills, and so much more.
It is built with modern technologies (such as Laravel and VueJS) and includes a RESTful API. Akaunting can also be extended through the many apps and integrations available via its App Store. This modular platform and Marketplace is easy to use and developer friendly.
Deploying the Akaunting Marketplace App
The Linode Marketplace allows you to easily deploy software on a Linode using the Linode Cloud Manager.
Log in to the Cloud Manager and select the Marketplace link from the left navigation menu. This displays the Linode Compute Create page with the Marketplace tab pre-selected.
Under the Select App section, select the app you would like to deploy.
Fill out all required Options for the selected app as well as any desired Advanced Options (which are optional). See the Configuration Options section for details.
Complete the rest of the form as discussed within the Getting Started > Create a Linode.
Click the Create Linode button. Once the Linode has provisioned and has fully powered on, wait for the software installation to complete. If the Linode is powered off or restarted before this time, the software installation will likely fail. To determine if the installation has completed, open the Linode’s Lish console and wait for the system login prompt to appear.
Follow the instructions within the Getting Started After Deployment section.
Software installation should complete within 5-10 minutes after the Linode has finished provisioning.
