AureusERP on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

AureusERP is a comprehensive, open source Enterprise Resource Planning platform for small and medium enterprises and larger organisations. Built on the Laravel framework and the FilamentPHP admin panel, it brings accounting, invoicing, inventory, purchases, sales, human resources, recruitment, CRM and project management together in one place, with a modular plugin system so you enable only the features your business needs. This cloudimg image deploys AureusERP fully installed so you land on the admin sign in the moment the VM boots.

The image runs AureusERP 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS as a Laravel 13 and FilamentPHP 5 application on PHP 8.3 with OPcache, served by nginx over HTTPS with php-fpm and backed by MariaDB, all from the Ubuntu distribution with no third party package repositories. Database migrations, the Filament Shield roles and permissions, the seeded reference data (currencies, countries, units of measure) and the compiled front end assets are already in place, so there is no setup wizard to complete. The base is security patched and kept current by unattended upgrades.

Secure by default: no working credential is baked into the image. Before the web port ever opens, first boot generates a fresh Laravel application key, a fresh MariaDB password and a fresh administrator email and password unique to that virtual machine, written to a root only file, and generates a per VM self signed TLS certificate so the admin panel loads over a secure context. The install time admin@example.com account has its password neutralised at build time and does not authenticate. Plain HTTP is redirected to HTTPS.

Use it to run your business operations on a single self hosted platform, to manage accounting, inventory, sales and CRM from one admin panel, or as a Laravel native ERP foundation you extend with your own plugins and workflows inside your own cloud account rather than a hosted service. The paired deployment guide covers launching the VM, retrieving the per VM administrator credentials, signing in to the Filament admin panel over HTTPS, the modular plugin system, and moving to your own domain certificate.

AureusERP is distributed under the MIT license, free and open source with no per seat or per deployment fee.
