ACP Admin

Self-Hosted

Open-source CSA farm management and member portal

Overview

ACP Admin is an open-source tool built for Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) operations to simplify daily workflows. It enables farms to manage members, track subscriptions, process weekly orders, plan harvests, and communicate with members via newsletters. Deployable via Docker or traditional LAMP/WAMP stacks (PHP 7.4+, MySQL 5.7+), it offers self-hosted data control and customization options tailored to CSA needs, reducing reliance on proprietary SaaS solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is ACP Admin hard to install?

ACP Admin can be installed via Docker (simplest method) or manual LAMP/WAMP setup. Docker requires minimal technical skills (pull image + run container), while manual installation needs configuring web server settings and database connections. Official documentation guides users through both processes.

? Is it a good alternative to CSAware?

Yes—ACP Admin covers core CSA features like member tracking and order management without subscription fees, and offers self-hosted data control. However, CSAware has more advanced reporting and mobile app support which ACP Admin lacks.

? Is it completely free?

Absolutely! ACP Admin is licensed under GPL, so it’s free to download, use, modify, and distribute. There are no premium tiers or hidden costs—all features are accessible to self-hosted users.
