Overview
Engelsystem is the open source shift and volunteer management system used by the Chaos Communication Congress and many other large events to coordinate their helpers, known as angels. Organisers define angeltypes and roles, lay out a schedule of shifts across rooms and days, and open registration; volunteers create an account, browse the shift plan, sign up for the work they want and log the hours they complete. It provides separate views for angels, for shift coordinators and for administrators, along with news, a worklog, vouchers and messaging, so an event of any size can run its volunteer rota from a single web application.
It suits conferences, festivals, hackerspaces, sports events and community gatherings that rely on volunteers and want a self hosted, purpose built tool for planning shifts and tracking who is doing what, rather than spreadsheets.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg ships Engelsystem on a full LAMP stack, nginx with PHP 8.3 and MariaDB, assembled from the official upstream release so the frontend assets and dependencies are exactly what the project publishes, ready within minutes of launch. The MariaDB database that holds every user, shift, role and worklog entry sits on a dedicated, independently resizable data volume that is re provisioned with every instance. Nothing ships with a known login: the documented default administrator password is never present in the image, and a fresh administrator password and database password are generated on the machine's first boot and written to a root only file, so no two deployments share a credential. The base is fully patched with unattended security updates enabled, the database listens only on the machine itself, and every image comes with a step by step deploy guide tested against the exact build and 24/7 cloudimg support.
Common uses
- Coordinating volunteers and shifts at a conference or festival
