What's installed on your Dolibarr server?
- Dolibarr 22 on the official Docker image

What size do you need for Dolibarr?
Dolibarr's prerequisites page doesn't give a RAM figure. It asks for 128 MB of PHP memory, lists about 150 MB of disk for the program and 35 MB for the database, and says the database grows by less than 1 MB per 100 records. As a rule of thumb, 2 GB is a good start. Look at 4 GB with many modules, users or attachments. Documents fill the disk, which grows from your panel but doesn't shrink.

Good to know
- Modules start switched off. Invoicing, stock, projects and other sections stay out of the menu until you turn them on.
- The upload limit is set to 64 MB per file (the image's default is 2 MB). For more, raise PHP_INI_UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE and PHP_INI_POST_MAX_SIZE in compose.yaml.
- The cron service is on: once you turn on the Scheduled Tasks module, its jobs run by themselves. The secret key is generated at install and sits in the DOLI_CRON_KEY setting of compose.yaml.
- There's no e-invoicing connection in the install, including Turkey's e-Fatura and e-Arşiv. If you need one, you choose a compatible module and provider yourself.
- The install doesn't set up outgoing email. To send quotes and invoices, enter your SMTP details in the email settings.
- Dolibarr is free under GPL-3.0. Some add-on modules on DoliStore are paid and aren't included in the price. Updates are your responsibility.
Dolibarr questions and answers
How much RAM does Dolibarr need?
Dolibarr's prerequisites page doesn't give a RAM figure, only 128 MB of PHP memory. As a rule of thumb, 2 GB is a good start, and 4 GB suits many modules and attachments. If it isn't enough, you scale up from your panel.
Is Dolibarr free?
Yes. Dolibarr is open source under GPL-3.0, with no per-user fee, and around 100 modules ship with it. Some add-ons on the DoliStore marketplace are paid, and those aren't part of your server price.
What can I do with Dolibarr?
It covers customers and leads, quotes, orders, customer and supplier invoices, payments, stock and warehouses, projects and tasks, HR tasks such as leave and expenses, and point of sale. You only turn on what you use.
Is Dolibarr available in other languages?
Yes. Language files ship with Dolibarr, Turkish among them, and you choose the language in the display settings. The install sets Turkey as the country, which you can change in your company details.
Can I issue e-invoices with Dolibarr?
Not on this install as it stands. Legal e-invoicing, such as Turkey's e-Fatura, needs a compatible module and a provider, which you choose yourself. Any fees for those are separate from your server price.
How do I raise the Dolibarr file upload limit?
The install sets the limit to 64 MB (the official image defaults to 2 MB). For more, raise PHP_INI_UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE and PHP_INI_POST_MAX_SIZE on the dolibarr service in compose.yaml, then run docker compose up -d.
How do I update Dolibarr?
In /opt/seturack/dolibarr on the server, run docker compose pull and docker compose up -d. With DOLI_INSTALL_AUTO on, the database moves to the new version by itself. For a new major version, change the image tag first.
