Paymenter on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Paymenter is a free and open source billing and client management platform built for hosting providers and anyone selling recurring services. It gives your customers a public storefront, a checkout and a client area for their services, invoices and support tickets, and gives you an administration panel for products, pricing, currencies, coupons, taxes and automatic recurring invoicing. Payment gateways and server provisioning are handled by extensions, so orders can be paid through the processor you already use and handed straight to the system that creates the service.

The image runs Paymenter 1.5.7 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS as a Laravel 12 application on PHP 8.3 with OPcache, served by nginx over HTTPS with php-fpm, backed by MariaDB and using Redis for cache, sessions and the queue, all from the Ubuntu distribution with no third party package repositories. Migrations and seeded reference data are already applied, and the Laravel queue worker and the scheduler run as their own systemd units, so invoices are raised, reminders sent and overdue services suspended automatically.

Secure by default: the shipped image contains no user account of any kind, so there is no default login to find. Before the web port opens, first boot creates the first and only administrator with a random password, generates a fresh application key, database password and OAuth signing keys into a root only file, and issues a TLS certificate unique to that virtual machine. The public address is resolved at boot and written to both the configuration file and the database, so generated links, invoices and payment redirects point at your instance. Upstream telemetry ships switched off and plain HTTP is redirected to HTTPS.

Paymenter is distributed under the MIT license, free and open source with no per seat or per deployment fee. This image ships the 1.5.7 release, unmodified. cloudimg is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Paymenter; Paymenter is a mark of its owner. cloudimg provides packaging, the secure by default first boot posture, security patching, a paired deployment guide, and 24/7 support with a guaranteed 24 hour response SLA.
