An upgraded install otherwise keeps 150 recorded rows (plus the one 2.4.x-only name) for migration files that no longer exist on disk. The SKIP path now deletes exactly the replaced set plus that superseded name, by explicit list only, before recording itself; module rows and any other foreign history survive. Found by the upgrade rehearsals.

Run your invoicing from one place
InvoiceShelf is a self-hosted web application for creating invoices, tracking payments and expenses, and keeping customer accounts organised. It is built for freelancers and small businesses that want a focused workflow without giving up control of their data.
- Create invoices and estimates, then export polished PDFs.
- Record payments and see what each customer still owes.
- Track expenses, taxes, and business reports.
- Schedule recurring invoices for repeat work.
- Give customers a portal for invoices, estimates, and payment history.
- Manage multiple companies and invite team members with scoped roles.
Optional official modules can add specialised features without making the core application heavier.
Install InvoiceShelf
Production: InvoiceShelf 2.x
Install the current stable release from the
self-hosted download page, or run the
official Docker image with the :latest tag. Follow the
installation guide for the
complete setup and upgrade instructions.
Preview: InvoiceShelf 3.x
Use the preview only with disposable or backed-up data:
- Download the latest 3.x preview from the self-hosted download page.
- For Docker, use
invoiceshelf/invoiceshelf:nextinstead of:latestin the official Compose setup.
A minimal SQLite Docker setup looks like this:
git clone https://github.com/InvoiceShelf/docker.git invoiceshelf
cd invoiceshelf
cp docker-compose.sqlite.yml docker-compose.yml
# For the 3.x preview, change the image tag in docker-compose.yml to :next.
docker compose up -d
Open http://localhost:8090 and finish the setup wizard. Read the Docker guide before using InvoiceShelf on a public server.
For a traditional web-server installation, see the manual installation guide. InvoiceShelf 3.x requires PHP 8.4 and supports MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Docker includes the required application runtime.
