Overview

Open Source Point of Sale (OSPOS) is a mature, self hosted point of sale and inventory management system for small and medium retailers. It brings the register, inventory, customers, suppliers and employees together in one web interface: ring up sales with barcode support, taxes, discounts, cash rounding and multiple payment types, track stock with item kits, receivings and stock takes, keep customer and supplier records, administer employees with per module permissions, and run built in reports across sales, inventory, taxes and payments, with CSV import and export throughout.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships OSPOS fully patched on a hardened Ubuntu base with the database schema already migrated and the application serving on first boot. It is secure by default: the well known default admin login is neutralised at build, a unique administrator password and database password are generated on each instance's first boot with no shared credential baked into the image, and the bundled MariaDB listens on loopback only. Paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 support.

Common uses
