Is Akaunting free and open source?
Not by the OSI definition. Akaunting is source-available rather than open source: its code is public under the BSL 1.1, which is not an OSI-approved open-source license. The Business Source License lets you read, modify and self-host the code, but production use is limited to what its Additional Use Grant allows, and each release converts to an open-source license after a set date. Check the license in the repository before using it commercially.
Can I run Akaunting with Docker?
Akaunting does not list an official Docker image. It installs natively (PHP), so follow the install steps in its README or look for a community-maintained container.
