Some of you may already know the inmanage.sh script I built some time ago.
If not:
INmanage turns self-hosted invoicing with Invoice Ninja into a reliable, repeatable workflow.
What started as a stand-alone has evolved into a full command-line interface.
Focus: save time , less stress, certainty, convenience. Installation takes 2–3 minutes per host and will save you many hours of manual work maintaining your Invoice Ninja instances.
The architecture moved from ad-hoc scripting to a modular core / helpers / services design and now covers a much larger operational surface: backup, restore, cron management, updates, notifications, preflight checks, self-migrations, configuration management from CLI.
INmanage provides deterministic, script-first lifecycle management for self-hosted Invoice Ninja environments. You can install, configure, update, monitor, back up, and recover your instance without ad-hoc shell chaos.
Built for engineers who value repeatability, observability, and low-risk operations.
