So we’re starting a general contractor company and i I’m wondering if anyone else did that and had general advice? Its with someone else that is not really technology savy.
Currently we’re using:
- WordPress for website
- OpenProject for project related task
- InvoiceNinja for invoice purposes
Any advice and comments would be appreciated!

I can recommend some stuff I’ve been using myself :
- Dolibarr as an ERP + CRM : requires some work to configure initially. As most (if not all) features are disabled by default, it requires enabling them based on what you need. It also has a marketplace with a bunch of modules you can buy
- Gitea to manage codebases for customer projects. It can also do CI but I’ve not looked into it yet
- Prometheus and its ecosystem (mostly promtail and grafana) for monitoring and alerting
- docker mail server : makes it quite easy to self host a full mail server. The guides in their doc made it painless for me to configure dmarc/SPF/other stuff that make e-mail notoriously hard to host
- Cal.com as a self hostable alternative to calendly
- Authentik for single sign-on and centralized permission management
- plausible for lightweight analytics
- a mix of wireguard, iptables and nginx to basically achieve the same as cloudflare proxying and tunnels
I design, deploy and maintain such infrastructures for my own customers, so feel free to DM me with more details about your business if you need help with this
