What I need:

- have nice dashboard so I can see my income What I want to avoid:
- too complex system
- lack of docker support
- software with paywalls for functions
Hope you can help me find something.
When I was a freelance contractor I used InvoiceNinja. It was pretty good and also has some apps for mobile. And it’s on DockerHub too.
UI it’s kinda hard to navigate and also docker setup never worked for me.
I currently manually create invoices in Excel, so I’m definitely interested in seeing what you find!
Well, openERP or openbravo were what I would have recommended ten years ago, but due to their commercialization aren’t really relevant any longer. If I personally was setting this up for myself I would probably use redmine and a plugin that gives redmine the invoice functionality. However I wouldn’t call it simple for a first timer to pull off, but if redmine is mastered you will find very extensible and customizable to any particular project’s needs.
I use pancake, works pretty well. It’s paid, but only a one-time payment and you get the code.
