dillard 96e2e5f475 Correct README wording for role-based access and VIP edition

The 'user' role description implied OSS users can get per-account
create rights - that's a VIP-only feature. Also replaced the VIP
edition blurb with clearer wording about what the subscription
actually unlocks.

Raw Blame History

Self-hosted, open-source QR code generator.

QRForge creates and manages static and dynamic QR codes from a clean, responsive control panel. It's a security-hardened, actively maintained fork of the original PHP Dynamic Qr code project by Giandonato Inverso, built on AdminLTE.

Try it free: qr.ensembia.com - fully functional OSS test instance. Self-service signup isn't live yet, so log in with the temporary shared demo account admin / admin in the meantime.
Commercial VIP edition: the ability to give sub-users the ability to create QR codes as well, from their own (sub)account. If you have a bigger organisation, having more users being able to create new QR codes delegates your workload. To fund our open-source project, a small fee (€49/year subscription per organisation ("tenant")) is requested for this. www.qrforge.eu.
Self-host it yourself: this repository, MIT-licensed.

Setup with Docker Compose

Clone this repository.
Copy .env.example to .env and set a real DATABASE_PASSWORD / MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD.
Start the stack:
```
docker compose up -d --build
```
Open http://localhost and log in with superadmin / superadmin. You'll be required to set a new password on first login.

For a production deployment behind a reverse proxy, use docker-compose.prod.yml (Nginx + PHP-FPM) instead of the dev stack.
