Consultainer Docs

Introduction

What Consultainer is and how these docs are organized

Consultainer runs client engagements for consultancies: clients, projects, tasks, time, milestones, expenses and invoices in one place, self-hosted on your own server. It connects to the tools you already use (Linear, your calendar, Slack, QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Drive and others, AI agents) instead of being one more app to keep updated by hand.

It's open source (Apache-2.0) and self-hosted only: no per-seat pricing, no plan limits, no telemetry.

Who can do what

Organizations have three roles. Members work on clients, projects, tasks and their own time. Admins also manage settings, people, reports, approvals and sending invoices. The Owner, who set the organization up, can also change instance-wide settings. The full list is in Team & security. Setup guides in these docs say which role each step needs.
