Overview

MintHCM is a free open source Human Capital Management and HR platform built on the proven SuiteCRM and SugarCRM lineage. It manages employee records, organisational structure and positions, recruitment and candidates, time off and leave, timesheets, projects and HR reporting from a single self hosted application, giving an organisation full ownership of its HR data with no vendor lock in.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image ships MintHCM as a ready to run appliance: on first boot it generates a per instance administrator password, database password and site secret and completes the installation headlessly, so no default credential ever ships. The database and search index live on their own dedicated, independently resizable storage volumes, it comes with a paired step by step deploy guide, and it is backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • A self hosted HR system of record for an organisation that wants full ownership of its employee data
  • Recruitment and candidate tracking, positions and organisational structure management
  • Leave, timesheet and HR reporting as a self hosted alternative to SaaS HR products

Key features

  • MintHCM, the open source Human Capital Management and HR platform, preinstalled with Apache, PHP 8.2, Percona Server and Elasticsearch, ready to use with no manual setup wizard
  • Secure by default: a fresh administrator password, database password and site secret are generated for every instance on first boot and the admin password is stored in a root only file
  • 24/7 technical support from cloudimg for deployment, upgrades, HR module configuration, recruitment and leave workflows, search indexing and database administration

Description

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview

MintHCM is a free open source Human Capital Management and HR platform - manage employee records, organisational structure and positions, recruitment and candidates, time off and leave, timesheets, projects and HR reporting from a modern single-page interface. Built on the proven SuiteCRM and SugarCRM lineage, it gives an organisation full ownership of its HR data with no vendor lock-in. This image delivers MintHCM fully configured, so a complete HR system is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is MintHCM 4.3.2.

Application Stack

MintHCM is a PHP application running on PHP 8.2 served by Apache, with a Percona Server 8.0 database and an internal Elasticsearch index that powers list views and Global Search. The MintHCM legacy cron runs every minute to process background jobs and scheduled tasks. The appliance is orchestrated so customers land directly on the sign-in page.

Secure By Default

The image ships with no installed application and no credentials. On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service generates a fresh administrator password, a fresh database password and a fresh site secret, unique to that instance, runs the headless installation with those secrets, and writes the administrator password to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image, and the internal search index is bound to the loopback interface only.

Ready To Use

The application, web server, database and search index are all configured, with the database and search index on dedicated, independently resizable storage volumes. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the administrator, and start configuring employees, positions and HR modules.

cloudimg Support
