Im looking for a self hosted open source docker image for time clock and payroll. Do you have any recommendations or experience?

    Are you in the US? If so, what state? This might be one of the few things I would never consider self hosting. There are so many legal issues you could run into, and if your self hosted solution fails, you’ll be fucked (to put it lightly). I’m an HR/payroll professional by trade, in case that helps.

      I would never recommend Odoo anymore, given how painful it is to upgrade from a major version to another. Their answer to it is basically “yeah, some complex migrations need to be done, just send us a copy of your database with highly sensitive company data, pay us to do the migration and we’ll send it back to you”. Yeah, lol, no.

        Yeah, it was always too much for me. But I know quite a few people who run their entire business on it and they’re not small by any means. They hired some people to do custom work for modules too. They all started as small businesses too with Odoo and it just grew with them
