Overview Monica is the open source personal relationship manager - a self-hosted CRM for your personal life. Keep track of the people who matter to you: record how and when you interacted with them, set reminders for birthdays and important dates, log gifts, notes, debts, tasks, activities, journal entries and relationships between contacts. This image delivers Monica fully installed and configured, so a complete personal CRM is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Monica 4.1.
Application Stack Monica is a Laravel application running on PHP 8.3 with OPcache, served by nginx with php-fpm. MariaDB provides the database. The Laravel task scheduler runs every minute through a systemd timer for reminders. The instance ships with the schema and reference data ready, and signups are disabled, so the per-instance administrator account created on first boot is the only account.
Secure By Default On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service generates a fresh Laravel application key, a fresh MariaDB password and a fresh administrator account password, unique to that instance, and writes the administrator login to a root only file. The instance's own address is set as the application URL automatically. The database is created empty at image build, so no personal data and no shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The Monica code tree, web server and database are all configured, with application files, uploads and the database on dedicated, independently resizable storage volumes. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the administrator, and start adding contacts, reminders and notes.

Use Cases A private, self-hosted personal CRM in your own VPC for data residency or privacy. Keep your contacts, relationships and reminders out of third-party SaaS, track interactions with friends and family, and run a personal relationship manager you fully control.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). Monica is served on port 80. Retrieve the generated administrator login with: sudo cat /root/monica-credentials.txt. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with the admin email and that password (the instance's address is set as APP_URL on first boot). Services are managed with systemctl (nginx, php8.3-fpm, mariadb); admin CLI tasks use 'sudo -u www-data php /var/www/monica/artisan ...'. To enable HTTPS, follow the Let's Encrypt section of the user guide.
