Rentease is a property-management application to help landlords to manage your rental
properties efficiently. With Rentease, you can create invoices, generate activity
reports, and sync all the booking platforms you use.
- [Status](#status)
## Features
- **Invoice Management**: Create and manage invoices for your rental properties
with ease.
- **Activity Reports**: Generate detailed reports of rental activities to keep track
of your property performance.
- **Platform Sync**: Sync bookings across multiple platforms to streamline your rental
management.
- **Invoice management**: Create and track invoices for each stay.
- **Activity reports**: Export booking and payment reports for owners and accountants.
- **Multi-platform sync**: Consolidate bookings from different channels.
- **Stripe automation (optional)**: Pull card payments from Stripe, validate webhooks,
and trigger manual syncs when needed.
- **PDF generation**: Produce guest-ready invoices and summaries.

## Getting Started
To get started with Rentease, follow these steps.
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
You need a version of the Go programming language installed. You can either install
it via your package manager or via [Go's official website](https://go.dev/).
You also need a PostgreSQL database. You can install it locally using Homebrew or
use a cloud alternative such as Railway, fly.io, _etc._
- Go (go.mod targets 1.25.4; use Go 1.22+ in practice)
- Docker + Docker Compose (for the recommended dev stack)
- PostgreSQL 14+ (Docker Compose starts one automatically)
### Installation
1. Clone the repository
### Run with Docker Compose (recommended)
```sh
git clone https://github.com/rjNemo/rentease.git
cd rentease
```
2. Install the dependencies
```sh
go mod download
```
3. **Setup PostgreSQL**:
Ensure you have PostgreSQL installed and running. Create a database for Rentease:
```sh
createdb rentease
```
4. **Configure the application**:
Create a `.env` file in the project root with the following environment variables:
```sh
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USER=your_db_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password
DB_NAME=rentease
# Stripe configuration (optional until you enable automatic sync)
APP_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_your_key
APP_STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_your_webhook_secret
APP_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID=acct_your_account_id
```
Leave the Stripe variables blank to continue using manual cash entry only. When set, Rentease will pull payments from Stripe, process webhooks sent to `/webhooks/stripe`, and expose a manual sync endpoint at `POST /api/stripe/sync` (protected by the existing API key middleware). Providing `APP_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID` also enables dashboard links for synchronized card payments.
5. Start the application
```sh
make dev
```
### Development Commands
This starts the app on `http://localhost:8000` with hot reload and a local
Postgres instance.
Use the included Makefile for common tasks:
### Run locally without Docker
- `make dev`: Run the dev container with live reload (Air) on `http://localhost:8000`.
- `make run`: Build and run the production image locally.
- `make test`: Run `go test ./...` inside the dev container.
- `make format`: Generate templ files and format code.
- `make lint`: Lint with `golangci-lint`.
- `make stop`: Stop the dev container.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/rjNemo/rentease.git
cd rentease
go mod download
cp .env.example .env # create this file using the Configuration section below
go run .
```
6. **Access the application**:
Open your browser and go to `http://localhost:8000` to start using Rentease.
Set `APP_PORT` (defaults to 4200) to change the listening port when running locally.
### Built With
## Configuration
Rentease is built using the following technologies:
Configuration is driven by environment variables (parsed with the `APP_` prefix).
Minimum required variables:
- [Go](https://go.dev/): The core application logic is written in Go, providing a
robust and efficient backend.
- [Htmx](https://htmx.org/): For handling AJAX requests and enhancing the user interface
with minimal JavaScript.
- [Templ](https://templ.guide/): Used for templating and rendering dynamic HTML content.
- [Gorm](https://gorm.io/docs): An ORM library for Go, used for database interactions.
- [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/):The database used to store all application
data.
```sh
APP_DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/rentease?sslmode=disable
APP_ADMIN=admin@example.com
APP_ADMIN_SECRET=choose-a-strong-password
APP_API_KEY=your-api-key
APP_SECRET_KEY=signing-secret
APP_SESSION_SECRET=session-secret
APP_ORIGINS=http://localhost:8000
# Optional
APP_PORT=8000
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
APP_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=
APP_STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=
APP_SENTRY_DSN=
```
### Service Layout
Stripe values can be left blank for manual payment entry only.
When provided, webhooks are received at `/webhooks/stripe` and a manual sync is
available at `POST /api/stripe/sync` (API key protected).
- `internal/service/booking`: booking lifecycle, items, reporting, and PDF generation.
- `internal/service/payment`: manual payments plus Stripe synchronisation and webhook handling.
## Usage
- Start the stack (`make dev`) and open `http://localhost:8000`.
- Default dev credentials (from `docker-compose.dev.yml`):
- `admin@example.com` & `supersecret`.
- Create bookings, issue invoices, and review payments from the dashboard.
## Development
- `make dev` — run the dev stack with hot reload on `:8000`.
- `make test` — run `go test ./...`.
- `make format` — generate templ files and format Go + templ sources.
- `make lint` — run `golangci-lint`.
- `make run` — build and run the production image locally.
- `make stop` — shut down the dev stack.
## Tech Stack
- Go backend with PostgreSQL
- [Templ](https://templ.guide/) for server-rendered components
- [htmx](https://htmx.org/) for dynamic interactions with minimal JavaScript
- [GORM](https://gorm.io/) for database access
- [Stripe](https://stripe.com/) integration for payment syncing
## Project Layout
- `internal/service/booking` — booking lifecycle, items, reporting, PDF generation.
- `internal/service/payment` — manual payments plus Stripe sync and webhook handling.
- `internal/view` — templ components (generate `_templ.go` files locally).
