This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview osTicket is the widely-used free open source support-ticketing and helpdesk system - route inbound email and web tickets into queues, assign them to agents and teams, enforce SLAs, reply with canned responses, capture data with custom fields and forms, publish a customer help-topic portal and a knowledge base, and run it all from a clean agent control panel. This image delivers osTicket fully installed and configured, so a complete helpdesk is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is osTicket 1.18.3.
Application Stack osTicket is a PHP application running on PHP 8.3 with OPcache and the imap, mysqli, gd, intl and mbstring extensions, served by nginx with php-fpm. MariaDB provides the database. The osTicket cron runs every minute through a systemd timer to process queued tasks and fetch email. The web installer has already been run and removed, so customers land directly on the staff sign-in page.
Secure By Default On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service generates a fresh MariaDB password, a fresh configuration secret and a fresh administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes the administrator password to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The osTicket code tree, web server and database are all configured, with application files, attachments and the database on dedicated, independently resizable storage volumes. Browse to the instance address, sign in to the agent control panel as the administrator, and start configuring departments, help topics and agents.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

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'). osTicket is served on port 80. Retrieve the generated administrator password with: sudo cat /root/osticket-credentials.txt. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/scp/ and sign in to the agent control panel with the 'ostadmin' username and that password; the customer-facing portal is at http://<instance-public-ip>/. Services are managed with systemctl (nginx, php8.3-fpm, mariadb). To enable HTTPS, follow the Let's Encrypt section of the user guide.
