Trying Tryton

In Tryton community, we are aware of the difficulty to start with Tryton.

The first attempt to make it easy was a single-user application (client+server+sqlite) embedded as an office software called NESO. NESO support was dropped because of lack of interest and difficulty to maintain up-to-date packages. I think it would have fit well for your test.

An alternative solution has been to provide free hosting, so no installation is required at all (http://sisalp.com, I'm the operator of this site). It comes with an installation and management web page. Advantage is that hosting provides also basic security and backup. It allows you to test Tryton and use it for some time (not limited), enough to decide if it is worth installing it on your own server and bring back your data.

Recently a docker image has been made available at the central repository. Nevertheless, it requires also server admin skills for first installation and minimal maintenance.

Some contributors proposed tutorials about basic installation but for specific kinds of installation (usually not production) and we still consider this as an on-going task among other topics to improve the user documentation and translate in different languages. All contributors are welcome.

Thank you again for this review of Tryton which lacks the notoriety it deserves.
