I now have a server for forums.ledgersmb.org
by Chris Bennett 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

It took more than one try, but I now have one. If the address can be pointed to: 104.217.196.253 including the MX too. That's a single IP, so I can add https later I finally got all the files that I was able to salvage from all over. Nothing lost but some of the conf's for Apache 2.4 and possibly some little change in some program file. I just need to do the server conf's again. Not the whole set, just the base conf's. I have everything else, which was a huge relief to not have lost a ton of work. If someone could respond to me at chris(a)bennettconstruction.us just so that I know message got to the mailing list. Sorry for the delays with this. Just had one problem after the next and I didn't catch that my server was removed by the company until too late (others had the same problem too). Chris Bennett

ledgersmb.org site content review && proposed actions
by Erik Huelsmann 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Hi, While evaluating the site statistics for ledgersmb.org (I was looking if there's anything we can/should do better to help people "find" LedgerSMB), I found a number of pages which definitely could use some love. See (some) of my findings below. Two questions: 1. What about the proposed actions? 2. Who can volunteer to address these issues/execute these proposed actions? My finding: Large number of hits, but 96% bounce rate: https://ledgersmb.org/faq/what-difference-between-sales-invoice-and-sales-o… > What would be the reason people hit this page? Because of accounting problems of their own? Or because they're searching for an accounting system? If people simply have accounting questions, can we get a lower bounce rate? Or will we simply have to accept that this is the best we can do? If anything, it looks like this page could use some reading hints (paragraph headings, etc) applied. Not as many hits as some other pages, but still quite a few, but 100% bounce rate: https://ledgersmb.org/contributed-resources > The page content doesn't feel too relevant. Anybody with more relevant content? Outdated, with quite a few hits, but 100% bounce rate: https://ledgersmb.org/faq/localization-internationalization/how-can-i-trans… > This page could really do with an update. Empty pages with 100% bounce rate: http://ledgersmb.org/faq/invoicing-0 http://ledgersmb.org/faq/void http://ledgersmb.org/faq/end-life http://ledgersmb.org/faq/support-0 http://ledgersmb.org/faq/bank-account https://ledgersmb.org/faq/utf-8 https://ledgersmb.org/faq/10 https://ledgersmb.org/faq/11 https://ledgersmb.org/faq/102 https://ledgersmb.org/faq/20 http://ledgersmb.org/faq/macos-x http://ledgersmb.org/faq/redhat-enterprise-linux https://ledgersmb.org/faq/accounts-receivable-0 > Can/Should we remove these? Or should we make sure they'll get some content? -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

Update of Roadmap page
by Erik Huelsmann 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Hi, Today, I've updated our Roadmap page (https://ledgersmb.org/content/roadmap) This is just a heads up, letting you know the most important edits: * Moved the item about a function to implement checks during database migration to "in progress" * Removed the "Done" items (after all, this is a roadmap: looking ahead) * Removed the "Decrease installation size" item: our Docker images are less than 250MB; that sounds like a nice target size. Let me know in case more edits are appropriate, but I missed them. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

Re: [ledgersmb-devel] Adding to OpenBSD. Is this a good time now?

I'm just waiting for the hardware to be set up and I can get stuff installed! I'm using mwforum which is no longer under active development. It has an addon to turn incoming mail into posts. I've never had any security problems with it. There were a few troll bots that registered, but that was a long time ago and wasn't a big problem. I do a few strange things with the incoming mail to not lose anything when the forum or PostgreSQL is offline. My main concern is that I have lost all of the recent mail for months now. If there is a way to get the mail sent again to add it to the database, that would be great, but the move away from Sourceforge also happened. Worst case might be best just to restart the mail boards from scratch starting when I get everything running again. I was already considering trying to trim off the old mail anyway since the database dumps were getting pretty large. Perhaps a couple of emails that sum up what's going on and what has been done would be the simplest way to solve the missing emails. I could make these sticky posts at the top of the boards for each mailing list. Thanks for the offer, hopefully I will get everything up and running in a few days. Thanks, Chris Bennett

New Docker Compose based development & (local) test infrastructure
by Erik Huelsmann 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

Hi all, This week, I completed Docker Compose based development & test infrastructure which will help you get started with just a few commands: $ git clone https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB.git ledgersmb $ git clone https://github.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-dev-docker.git $ cd ledgersmb $ LSMB_DEV_VERSION=master docker-compose \ -f ../ledgersmb-dev-docker/docker-compose.yml up -d With these 3 commands, you have a fully operational environment ready for development of LedgerSMB on your local machine with all the dependencies (inside the docker containers) required to run the test suite. The Docker Compose file starts 3 containers wrapping the current directory (ledgersmb) and starting all the required processes for testing. Running the test-suite (basic part) is as easy as: $ docker exec -ti lsmb-master-devel prove and running the full test suite is as easy as invoking: $ docker exec -ti lsmb-master-devel \ prove --pgtap-option dbname=lsmbtestdb -r t/ xt/ If you changed the Perl sources, please run $ docker restart lsmb-master-devel before continuing your tests (Starman needs to be reloaded to serve the new logic). If you wanted to contribute, but preparing a development environment looked daunting, this may be the right time to dip your toe and try the waters! -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

ledgersmb-1.5 print issues
by Gary Richardson 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

1.5.13 is up and running in Fedora 26. Attached is the spec file used to produce the rpm. I do find one major problem. To print I must use html and print to the screen. HTML and csv are the only file types available while html is the only print options. How would I restore the pdf and printer options? -- Gary Richardson gary.richardson (at) nodirtyfloors.com Richardson Janitorial & More Make your partner happy, make me Clean that tile

Release of ledgersmb-1.5 v1.5.13-2
by Robert J. Clay 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

An initial version of the ledgersmb-1.5 debian package for version 1.5.13-2 has been released and uploaded to our apt package repository for 'main' in stretch[1] as well as to our PPA[2], for 'artful' (v17.10) as well as 'xenial (v16.04). (The Debian source packages are available as well.) This new version includes the ledgersmb-1.5-apache, ledgersmb-1.5-lighttpd, & ledgersmb-1.5-varnish packages to go along with the existing ledgersmb-1.5-nginx package. Like the latter, they're dependant on the ledgersmb-1.5 package they were built with, for which they are an enhancement. Note that the installs do not attempt to get the proxy fully operational as they just get the proxy app installed if it isn't already along with installing (and/or providing an example of) a configuration file to use; which needs to be edited as neccessary, enabled, and the app restarted in order for it to be used. ledgersmb-1.5 : financial accounting and ERP program (Perl/SQL backend) ledgersmb-1.5-apache : web proxy via Apache ledgersmb-1.5-lighttpd : web proxy via lighttpd ledgersmb-1.5-nginx : web proxy via Nginx ledgersmb-1.5-varnish : web proxy via varnish -- Robert J.
