What is FleetBase?

What it is

FleetBase is an open-source modular logistics and supply chain operating system, described as an LSOS and categorized under Miscellaneous / Logistics and Supply Chain. It is written in JavaScript and built around a PHP core, and it is distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license. The project is positioned within the open-source logistics software ecosystem.

The concrete problem it addresses is the need to streamline management, planning, optimization, and operational control across supply chain sectors. FleetBase provides a shared platform for orders, fleets, drivers, routes, inventory, service zones, and customer visibility, and it allows extensions through its modular architecture and API. Repository topics include fleet-management, freight-management, inventory-management, last-mile-delivery, order-management, route-optimization, and supply-chain-management.

Key capabilities

  • The platform includes an Order Board, order configuration with logic, rules, automation, activity flows, and custom fields, and real-time order tracking on an interactive map.
  • It provides a Live Fleet Map for fleet and active orders, plus Service Zones for defining and managing operational areas.
  • It exposes a RESTful API, sockets, and webhooks for external systems and custom applications.
  • It supports native apps for operational and customer-facing use, with topics indicating driver-app and ondemand delivery contexts.
  • It includes collaboration chat and comments, dynamic Identity and Access Management, telematics integration with hardware devices and sensors, and internationalization.

Who uses it and how

  • E-commerce and retail teams can use it to manage deliveries, track orders, and optimize last-mile logistics.
  • Food and beverage operations can coordinate restaurant deliveries, manage drivers, and track real-time orders.
  • Courier services can dispatch drivers, optimize routes, and provide customer tracking.
  • Field service organizations can schedule technicians, manage service areas, and track job completion.
  • Enterprise logistics teams and developers can build custom supply chain solutions through the API and modular extensions.

Getting started

The README recommends installing the Fleetbase CLI with npm install -g @fleetbase/cli and running flb install-fleetbase, which automates a Docker-based installation. It also references documentation, an API reference, a cloud version, and a demo booking option.

When to use it — and when not to

FleetBase is suitable when an organization wants an open-source, AGPL-3.0 logistics platform that can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud and extended through APIs and native apps. The metadata lists zero contributors, twenty-one open issues, and a repository age of zero years, so teams should verify maintenance and support before adopting it. Because the quickstart is Docker-based, self-hosters must operate the containerized installation and review AGPL-3.0 obligations before modifying or distributing the platform.

💾 Install

The easiest way to get started with Fleetbase is using the Fleetbase CLI, which automates the entire Docker-based installation process. For local setup options, read the running locally quickstart in the Fleetbase documentation.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js v22
  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • Git

Quick Install with CLI

# Install the Fleetbase CLI globally
npm install -g @fleetbase/cli

# Run the interactive installer
flb install-fleetbase

Alternative Install Script

You can also use the install script directly:

git clone [email protected]:fleetbase/fleetbase.git  
cd fleetbase && ./scripts/docker-install.sh

Accessing Fleetbase

Once successfully installed and running you can then access the Fleetbase console on port 4200 and the API will be accessible from port 8000.

Fleetbase Console: http://localhost:4200 Fleetbase API: http://localhost:8000

Additional Configurations

CORS: If you're installing directly on a server you will need to configure the environment variables to the application container:

CONSOLE_HOST=http://{yourhost}:4200

If you have additional applications or frontends you can use the environment variable FRONTEND_HOSTS to add a comma delimited list of additional frontend hosts.

Application Key If you get an issue about a missing application key just run:

docker compose exec application bash -c "php artisan key:generate --show"

Next copy this value to the APP_KEY environment variable in the application container and restart.

Routing: Fleetbase ships with a default OSRM server hosted by router.project-osrm.org but you're able to use your own or any other OSRM compatible server. You can modify this in the console/environments directory by modifying the .env file of the environment you're deploying and setting the OSRM_HOST to the OSRM server for Fleetbase to use.

Services: There are a few environment variables which need to be set for Fleetbase to function with full features. If you're deploying with docker then it's easiest to just create a
