SuiteCRM: Open Source Customer Relationship Management

SuiteCRM is a mature open source CRM used to run the whole customer lifecycle from one place: accounts and contacts, leads and opportunities, quotes and invoices, cases and a customer portal, campaigns and target lists, calendars and activity tracking, plus reporting and workflow automation. Studio lets you add your own fields, modules and layouts without writing code.
Pre-bundled with this image are

  • SuiteCRM 8.10.2 in Docker (directory listing disabled, database on an isolated internal network, no database port exposed to the internet, and uploaded files served without executing)
  • AlmaLinux 10: A stable and secure open source operating system.
  • MariaDB 11.4: A robust and scalable database system.
  • PHP 8.2: A modern and efficient scripting language.
  • Apache Web Server: A reliable and widely-used web server.
  • Caddy reverse proxy: handles HTTPS and your free SSL certificate. It sits in front of Apache and owns ports 80 and 443, so your certificate is managed by the proxy and not by Apache.
  • Docker and Docker Compose: the application and its database run as containers, so application updates do not require replacing the instance.

 
Your CRM is installed and ready when the instance finishes starting. There is no setup wizard to complete. The administrator account is created for you, with the username CRMadmin, and its password is shown once, in the summary at the end of installation. Write it down: it is generated for your instance and is not stored anywhere you can read it back.
The scheduler is already running. SuiteCRM relies on a scheduled task for workflows, inbound email, reminders and report delivery. On a conventional install you have to add that to a crontab yourself. Here it runs inside the application container from the moment it starts, so campaigns and workflows work without any further setup.
Your documents and attachments are kept separate from the application. Everything customers and staff upload is stored on its own volume, so replacing the application container to take an update does not touch your files.
 
Elyxia Global Limited presents a robust and efficient solution with its pre-configured AMI on AlmaLinux, a trusted and stable platform. This ready-to-deploy package includes a fully configured stack, with any additional charges clearly specified in the pricing information section, ensuring that your business operations are up and running in no time.
