How to install bitfarm-Archiv DMS

To install the GPL version, please read our guidelines and instructions first. Then download the GPL server (above) and run the software. The setup program guides you through the installation and asks for all essential parameters.

We recommend using a freshly installed operating system. If you run into problems, please consult the support forum for assistance.

Update Notice

Are you already using an older version of bitfarm-Archiv GPL? Download the server package above and execute it on the bitfarm-Archiv server. The installer detects existing installations of bitfarm-Archiv 3.4.x and updates them automatically to the new version (Warning: Please use this update ONLY for the GPL version of bitfarm-Archiv. If you have an Enterprise installation, you can get appropriate update packages in the customer area or directly from our support team).

Installation of the Enterprise-Version designed for business use is considerably more extensive, as more configuration options and features are available. An installation package cannot be downloaded for this purpose, but is included in a DMS project with detailed documentation. In addition, IT staff receive detailed instructions and configuration examples. User trainings are optional, as well as complete project planning from requirements gathering, development of optimal concepts in joint workshops, through setup and configuration to training, production launch, user care and support.

Free support for the GPL version 

sourceforge logo


Free support for the GPL version is available at Sourceforge. Both the GPL and the Enterprise version of the bitfarm-Archiv DMS are released under the GPLv3. This means no license fees are charged and you have access to the source code. The GPL version is also available for free download. Please also inform yourself which conditions this license form entails. Please also note our disclaimer for free software.


Satisfied users

The GPL version is free software. It contains no restrictions and may be used free of charge for private as well as business purposes. bitfarm will continue to ensure that it stays exactly this way in the future. If you use the software and the DMS serves you well, we are happy about it.

You are under no obligation to do anything for bitfarm in return. But if you still want to honor our service, please recommend us! This could be done, for example, by a blog, an entry in a forum, or a short report on a website, possibly with a hyperlink to our website https://www.bitfarm-archiv.com. This helps the software achieve a greater presence on the net and supports its spread, leading to more users and resources - and thus puts the further development of the DMS on an economically stable footing. Ultimately, this benefits not only the developers but all users.

If you write code for the DMS yourself, we would be happy if you make this code available to the general public. Post this in the forum on Sourceforge or send us the code, we will gladly integrate it after review.
