SuiteCRM 8 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Azure
Applications
SuiteCRM, the largest open source customer relationship management platform, serving your pipeline over HTTPS the moment it boots.
Overview
SuiteCRM is a full featured open source customer relationship management platform, maintained by SuiteCRM Ltd and descended from the SugarCRM community edition. It covers the whole commercial lifecycle: accounts, contacts, leads and opportunities moving through a sales pipeline you configure, quotes and invoices built from a product catalogue, cases with a customer self service portal, campaigns and target lists for email marketing, projects with Gantt charts, a workflow engine that automates routine actions, and a reporting module with charts and scheduled delivery. A documented REST version 8 API connects it to the rest of your stack.
It suits sales and service teams that want a complete CRM they host themselves rather than rent, organisations whose customer data has to stay on infrastructure they control, and anyone who has outgrown a spreadsheet but does not want a per seat subscription. Because the data model and layouts are editable from the admin interface, it also suits teams whose process does not fit an off the shelf CRM.
Why the cloudimg image
SuiteCRM ships a web based installation wizard, and an unattended one reachable on a public address is a complete takeover of the CRM and its database. cloudimg completes that installation during the image build using the product's own command line installer, then deletes both installer entry points from the image and blocks those routes at the web server, so there is no setup page for a stranger to find. The installer also writes a file holding the database and administrator passwords in clear text inside the web tree; that file is removed as well.
Nothing shared ships in the image. The administrator password is replaced during the build and replaced again, with a value nobody records, before the image is captured; your VM then generates its own administrator password, database password, session salt, application secret, REST API signing key pair and HTTPS certificate on first boot and writes them to a file only root can read. The web server stays closed until that finishes, so a VM is never reachable half configured. Only SSH and HTTPS are reachable from outside, port 80 only redirects to HTTPS, the database and PHP runtime are not network services, the password policy is stronger than upstream's and login throttling stays enabled. The scheduler runs on a system timer rather than a public endpoint. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
Common uses
- Run your sales pipeline, quotes and invoices on infrastructure you control
- Handle customer cases and a self service portal without a per seat subscription
- Automate follow ups and campaigns with a workflow engine you can extend
