OpenProject Self-Hosted Project Management | cloudimg Support

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

OpenProject is a powerful open source platform for classic, agile, and hybrid project management and team collaboration. This image from cloudimg delivers OpenProject fully installed and configured as a production appliance on AWS - so your team has a complete, self-hosted project management platform running without manual setup.

Unlike OpenProject's SaaS offering, this image keeps all project data on your own AWS infrastructure - ideal for teams with data residency or sovereignty requirements. Unlike a manual Docker or source install, the appliance is pre-configured and supervised by systemd, eliminating hours of setup and ongoing maintenance scripting. And unlike multi-tool stacks combining separate issue trackers, wikis, and Gantt tools, OpenProject consolidates everything in one application, reducing tool sprawl and context switching.

• OpenProject installed from the official vendor package, run as a managed appliance
• PostgreSQL database on a dedicated, independently resizable data disk - survives instance replacement
• memcached for application data caching
• Puma application server running the Rails app
• GoodJob worker for background job processing
• nginx reverse proxy publishing the application on port 80
• A single systemd service supervises the entire stack, starting on boot and restarting on failure

Plan projects with interactive Gantt charts and shared roadmaps. Manage work with agile boards for Scrum and Kanban. Track tasks, features, and bugs as work packages with custom fields, statuses, and workflows. Report on time and cost across projects. Organise knowledge in per-project wikis, schedule and minute meetings, manage documents and budgets, and keep everyone aligned with notifications and a flexible role-based permission model. A REST API opens the platform to integration and automation with CI/CD pipelines, chat tools, and custom scripts.

Secure First Boot: On first launch, a one-shot service generates a fresh administrator password unique to that instance, applies it to the built-in administrator account, clears the forced password change prompt, and writes the password to a file only the root user can read. Default credentials and build-time data are removed - no shared or default login ships in the image.

Network and Encryption: The application is served on port 80 by default. TLS termination and custom domain configuration are supported as post-launch steps - cloudimg support can assist with certificate setup. AWS EBS encryption can be enabled on the data disk to encrypt project data at rest.

• Self-hosted project and portfolio management for regulated industries
• Agile delivery with Scrum and Kanban boards for product teams
• Work package and issue tracking for engineering organisations
• Roadmap and release planning with interactive Gantt charts
• Team collaboration with wikis, meetings, and document management
• Time and cost reporting across multiple projects

The OpenProject web interface is served on port 80. Sign in with the generated administrator credentials (found in the root-only file on the instance) to create projects, configure work package types and workflows, add users and roles, and start planning. The REST API is available on the same port for programmatic access.

24/7 technical support by email and chat. Our engineers help with deployment, project and workflow configuration, user and role management, REST API integration, SMTP and email notifications, backups, database tuning, custom domains, TLS certificate setup, and scaling guidance.
