Invio on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS | 24/7 Support by cloudimg
por cloudimg
Pre-configured Invio deployment, hardened and production-ready on a managed VM image.
Invio on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Invio is a lightweight, self hosted invoicing app that keeps invoicing simple. Create clients, build invoices and quotes, track which invoices are paid, and share a secure link to an invoice so your client can view and download it without creating an account. Your data stays on your own VM in a local database.
What is included
- Invio v2.1.1, the official upstream container pinned by digest to the release
- An embedded SQLite database on a local path, with no external database to run
- An nginx front end that terminates HTTPS with a per VM self signed certificate
- A unique admin password and a unique JWT signing key generated per VM on first boot
- A clean, empty instance on first boot with no default account and no shipped data
- 24/7 cloudimg support
Secure by default
Invio signs every login session with a secret key, so a shipped default key would let anyone forge an admin session. This image closes that. On first boot, before the ports are reachable, a unique admin password and a unique JWT signing key are generated for this VM, the admin account is seeded fresh into a brand new database, and a fresh self signed TLS certificate is created. The app and its database are bound to the loopback interface; only the nginx HTTPS front end is exposed.
Licensing
Invio is released into the public domain under The Unlicense, so there is no per seat fee for the software and no source or notice obligation. The cloudimg charge of 0.04 US dollars per vCPU hour covers packaging, security patching, image maintenance and 24/7 support. Recommended size: Standard_B2s. This image is produced by cloudimg and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Invio or its author.
Before you start
The web interface is served over HTTPS on port 443 with a per VM self signed certificate; your browser will warn once. Front the interface with your own domain and a trusted certificate, and restrict the network security group, before production. Prerequisites: an Azure subscription, a VNet and an SSH key. Inbound rules: port 22 for SSH and port 443 for the web interface. Deployment guide: https://www.cloudimg.co.uk/guides/invio-on-ubuntu-24-04-azure/ . Support: support@cloudimg.co.uk
