Open source support ticketing and helpdesk, preconfigured with nginx, PHP 8.3 and MariaDB.
osTicket is the widely used open source support ticketing and helpdesk system. It routes inbound email and web tickets into queues, assigns them to agents and teams, enforces SLAs, and lets your team reply with canned responses, capture data with custom fields and forms, and publish a customer self service portal and a knowledge base, all from a clean agent control panel.
It suits customer support teams, IT helpdesks and service desk teams that want a helpdesk they run and own rather than a paid external service, from a small team to a busy multi department operation.
The cloudimg image installs osTicket 1.18 behind nginx with PHP 8.3 and a bundled local MariaDB, with the web installer already run and removed so you land directly on the agent sign in page. Nothing sensitive ships: a unique MariaDB password, configuration secret and administrator password are generated on the first boot of every VM and written to a root only file, and the shipped image carries the administrator credential rotated to a discarded random value. The MariaDB database, where osTicket stores tickets and attachments, lives on a dedicated data disk separate from the operating system disk, and is backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
