Akaunting - Free Accounting Software

@timconsidine said in Akaunting - Free Accounting Software:
If Akaunting does support this, then it's interesting, otherwise (for me anyway) it doesn't work well.
I've not double checked, but I doubt you can submit anything anywhere with Akaunting, just keep track of and prepare figures.
Similarly, I don't think Akaunting (nor any other open source web accounting software I'm aware of) will automatically import bank feeds etc either (I don't mind submitting my own accounts and tax returns, but I can't live without automatically importing transactions!)
I use FreeAgent (10% off a subscription with that link) which works very well for my circumstances.
Lots of people seem to use Xero too.

Thanks!
Now, I'm very interested!

@jdaviescoates I'm using FreeAgent too - free if you are with Natwest !
Very happy with Quickfile too - written by / for accountants, but good for business too.
I like Hledger also ... but it's quite hard-core - accounting with text files ! And of course no VAT submission options.
Taxcalc is great for CoHouse/HMRC submissions : not cheap, but top notch. Written for accountants so really good (if you know what you're doing !)
Shame about Akaunting but if FreeAgent start charging me, I might give it a go.
@timconsidine
for Quickfile - one of my favourite non-open-source apps. -
What is the current status of Akaunting? I tried installing it in a LAMP stack but that doesn't seem to work

So I have been trying to install akaunting within a LAMP stack with limited success. There is an error during installation, but it runs fairly normal after that. However, some plugins don't work properly and updating via GUI/CLI doesn't work. Support narrowed it down to the path of the PHP executable not being correct and gave me this link: https://akaunting.com/hc/docs/faq/i-cant-install-apps/
I would like to try this out by changing the PHP path in the env as described in the documentation:
APP_PHP_PATH="/usr/bin/php8.0"@girish Could you help me with this? Is it
/etc/php/8.1? -

I guess this is an Akaunting variable ? If so, this would be
/usr/bin/php8.1in the lamp app. -

@avatar1024 Iām still testing it but it seems to be working now after spending bigger amounts of time troubleshooting quirks and errors

@andreasdueren Great to hear! If you get the chance to share the process you've followed that'd be much appreciated.
Also do you think some of your work might get us closer to get a Cloudron package for it?
-
Hello all, so it seem there was some effort into packaging this from @andreasdueren as well as from @murgero, @marcusquinn and from the author of Akounting with @staff (see this thread).
Anyone got any update on this?
Small business accounting is still a type of software lacking on Cloudron which is a shame as it could really help the adoption of a Free Software alternative to QuickBook, Xero, etc amongst small businesses and ethically minded accountants.

But I quickly realized that the software is quite buggy and support unwilling or unable to help in any significant capacity. Even when I payed for extra support, they were not able to help me resolve some issues. So I abandoned it. So personally I am not interested in Akaunting anymore.

Thanks for the feedback. Have you found a decent alternative?

@avatar1024 although not self-hosted, quickfile.co.uk is brilliant, and emails you backups of your data frequently. Although UK-centric, can work for any country, currency, crypto.

@marcusquinn thanks! It doesn't seem Free Software either, right?

@avatar1024 It's extremely barebones without the payed plugins. EDIT: never mind, thought you were talking about Akaunting. QuickFile is not free, no.

@marcusquinn thanks! It doesn't seem Free Software either, right?
@avatar1024 It's SaaS, so not open-source, but you can do a LOT indefinitely with the free tier, and it is very good, in my opinion, and easy to share access with accountants.
I WISH there was something as good open-source, but never found anything as good, so I just stick with this.
Maybe Odoo is another option for you, but I was just throwing Quickfile in there as an option for you to compare in your research.
