byro 2026.3.0

Development and Production Setup

Please refer to the development or the production documentation. The recommended way to run byro is byroctl, which installs and updates a Docker based deployment with one command; Docker Compose by hand and a plain installation from PyPI are documented as well.

Plugins

byro provides a rich API for plugins. See our developer documentation if you want to write a plugin.

Plugins that work with the current byro release are listed in the plugin catalog that ships with every release; administrators install them with byroctl plugin add <name> (see the plugin documentation). To get a plugin listed, publish a GitHub release and open a pull request against the catalog.

• byro-finance-import-bank-files imports file-based bank statements, currently CAMT.053.

• byro-mailman (mailing list integration) and byro-gemeinnuetzigkeit (receipts for German non-profits) exist, but are not yet compatible with byro 2026.x.

Community plugins are encouraged to add the byro-plugin tag if they are on GitHub. You can see all byro plugins on GitHub here; byroctl never installs anything from that list on its own. byro-shackspace is an example for how a group can extend or modify byro to fit their purpose, e.g. add custom mechanisms and save additional data.
