Documenso

An open-source digital document signing platform — the self-hosted alternative to DocuSign. Upload PDFs, place signature fields, send for signing, and get legally binding e-signatures.

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Visit your domain — create your account on first visit
2. Upload documents — drag and drop PDFs to start the signing process
3. Add recipients — specify signers and place signature, initial, date, and text fields
4. Send for signing — recipients receive an email with a link to sign
5. Track progress — monitor which recipients have signed and which are pending
6. Create templates — save frequently used documents as reusable templates
7. API access — integrate signing into your workflows via the REST API

Configuration

• NEXTAUTH_SECRET — auto-generated session secret
• NEXT_PRIVATE_ENCRYPTION_KEY — auto-generated encryption key for document security
• SMTP settings — configure NEXT_PRIVATE_SMTP_HOST, NEXT_PRIVATE_SMTP_PORT, NEXT_PRIVATE_SMTP_USERNAME, NEXT_PRIVATE_SMTP_PASSWORD for sending signature request emails
• Database — uses built-in SQLite by default. Set DATABASE_URL for external PostgreSQL.
