Wow, docker!

Yes! The easiest installation method we have available at the moment.

Congratulations, I consider this one of the greatest improvements.

Thank you. I've passed the message to the people doing the Docker job (it's a project of its own). The docker developments have been ongoing for quite some time, but with the 1.5.0 release a number of prerequisites in the LedgerSMB code have been fulfilled moving the Docker image from experimental to production level.

The LedgerSMB-docker project is a good example of how the LedgerSMB project tries to form an eco-system (i.e. be more than just a single project): People started the project to address their needs and because this is exactly the bit they could contribute. We have adopted it as a means of deployment and have been working to integrate the build of new docker images into the release process.

Other on-going efforts to make installation of LedgerSMB less complex (than the source installs documented in README.md) include the development of Debian packages for Jessie and Stretch. We hope people who can contribute packaging for other platforms will step up. We'd love to support the efforts and (when the result is stable) integrate package building steps (or triggers thereof) with the release process.

You could have mentioned that new feature in the changelog. :)

Well, it's not a feature delivered by the LedgerSMB project itself, but the intent of mentioning it in the announcement mail was indeed to draw attention to the eforts. I see we succeeded :-)

Will you be using Docker to run LedgerSMB?

Regards,

Erik.
