Hassle-free Peppol bootstrapping and onboarding

This project aims to make participation in the Peppol network genuinely accessible by providing a fully open-source, hassle-free way to deploy, operate, and validate a Peppol Access Point (AP) and Service Metadata Publisher (SMP). Building on existing, production-grade components such as Oxalis-NG and phoss SMP, we focus on eliminating the operational and deployment complexity that currently restricts Peppol infrastructure to large vendors and system integrators. The project will deliver reproducible, certification-ready deployments, automated onboarding and conformance testing workflows, and clear documentation that allows others to independently validate their setup.

In addition, we will ensure interoperability with other open-source Peppol tooling, including Let’s Peppol, to demonstrate a coherent and composable free-software ecosystem. By packaging the complete solution in a reproducible environment such as NixOS, this project lowers the barrier for SMEs, public bodies, and developers to run their own Peppol infrastructure without vendor lock-in, while staying fully aligned with open standards and free-software values.
