About

This project should provide a functional playground for connecting a xentral ERP instance with a WordPress WooCommerce shop.

❗ This project is not intended for productive usage, as the databases are just created and managed by further Docker instances and no security aspects have been integrated. Using this for real scenarios may lead to data loss and severe security breaches!

Credits

Many thanks to Lobaro for providing the Xentral base docker image. It saved me a lot of trouble and enabled me to create this project. Of course I'd also like to thank the Xentral ERP Software GmbH team itself for providing a free version of their incredible ERP project. I'd also want to thank WordPress for providing an amazing platform and making projects like this possible.
