calServer v2 Documentation

calServer 6.0 is the next generation of the platform — built on Laravel 13 as API backend and Nuxt 4 / Vue 3 as a modern frontend. The core modules (inventory, calibration, customers, orders, repairs, loan management, DMS incl. inbox folder, reports, tickets) are functionally complete; sign-in supports password login as well as SAML 2.0 (Entra ID) and LDAP (OpenLDAP / Active Directory).

calServer v2 is a standalone installation with its own database (PostgreSQL, MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server). For existing V1 customers, V2 imports the data once when switching over. How the containers fit together is shown in the architecture overview.
