    Self-hosting is a great fit if you already run servers or need data sovereignty. For most freelancers and small businesses, hosted wins on time + total cost.

    Good reasons to self-host

    If any of these describe you, self-hosting is probably the right call.

    Data sovereignty

    Your invoices never leave your servers. Required for HIPAA, SOC 2, some GDPR setups, and government work.

    Customize the source

    MIT-licensed PHP codebase. Fork it, add custom integrations, or wire it into your existing systems.

    No vendor lock-in

    Nobody can take the software away. If we ever shut down, your self-hosted install keeps running forever.

    Already run servers

    If you have a homelab, internal infra, or a VPS already, adding SolidInvoice is a one-liner.

    Choose your installation method

    Docker is the fastest path. Others are available if Docker isn't an option for you.
