## Kimai by cloudimg

Kimai is an open source self-hosted time-tracking application. Teams and freelancers use it to record working hours against customers, projects and activities, then turn those timesheets into invoices and exportable reports. Punch in and out from the browser or the API, organise work into a clean customer, project and activity hierarchy, control access with roles and teams, and keep every record private on infrastructure you control. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Kimai fully installed and configured, so a complete time-tracking service is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Kimai 2.60.0.

## Application Stack

The image runs Kimai, a Symfony application, with PHP 8.3 and OPcache, the nginx web server, and a local MariaDB database, which Kimai recommends for production. The MariaDB data directory and the Kimai application tree each live on their own dedicated, independently resizable data volume. The database schema is migrated at build time so the application is ready the moment it boots.

## Secure First Boot

On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh application secret unique to that instance, rotates the database password, sets a fresh administrator password, and writes the credentials to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.

## Ready To Use

The Kimai code tree, document root, web server and database are all configured. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the generated administrator, and start recording timesheets, customers, projects and activities. Generate invoices and exports, and invite your team.
