What is samarium?
Samarium is a Laravel-based business management system designed for small businesses that need ERP, point-of-sale, invoicing, and content management features in one self-hosted application. It provides modules for dashboard, products, shop, CMS, team, reporting, accounting, CRM, calendar, HR, projects, documents, and school management. The system uses MySQL as its database and Redis for caching, with a Bootstrap and Livewire frontend. Installation is available via Docker Compose (recommended) or manual setup requiring PHP 8.2+, MySQL 8.0, Composer, and Node.js. The project is MIT-licensed and in active development at version 0.9.6, with the maintainers noting that many features are still basic, documentation needs improvement, and some modules are incomplete.
