I'm looking for a super simple (ideally open source / self hosted) ticket/contact management system.

  • I'm looking for a super simple (ideally open source / self hosted) ticket/contact management system. What it needs to be able to do is

    • receive random emails at 1-n email addresses (think "info", "sales", "support", etc) from ideally separate POP/IMAP servers
    • match those emails to the correct queue / team
    • forward that email to the correct team
    • team members can simply answer to that forwarded email to answer to the original sender
    • the original sender can again answer and that gets routed accordingly
    • the system keeps track of which incoming email got an answer etc.
    • there's a simple web interface to monitor the queues and keep track of what is an open conversation, what is done, etc.

    What is NOT needed and can safely be omitted and ideally also hidden from the interface of present are things like

    • SLAs
    • priorities
    • knowledge base
    • asset management
    • and anything else corporate-y

    Canned answers might be a boon, but not stricly needed.

    Any suggestions? Bonus points if it runs on a LAMP stack, extra bonus if it is available in german language.

    @jollyorc If I understand you correctly, you want something like https://www.znuny.org/de or https://requesttracker.com/ which are both FOSS and pretty good at handling tickets.

    We are running znuny and before that OTRS for atleast 15 years in the company without any major issues.

    @jollyorc I am using Zammad, which works well, but is a bit tricky to install. It's developed by a German company, it's open source.

    @jollyorc I used Request Tracker (see @Kevin's comment) for the better part of 20 years. It can do all these things and does them very well. It is great to self host. However, it's not really "super simple" and has a list of CPAN modules longer than my "to do" list.
    Still, great tool.

    @ivory fyi: this renders without newlines / list markings in ivory compared to it on the mastodon instance.

    @jollyorc we use https://freescout.net at work. Based on laravel. Should tick most of your boxes.

    @jollyorc I have heard good things about https://zammad.org/ for this sort of setup

    @jollyorc The demo application published with may already meet your requirements. https://rei3.de/demo_en/

    We are running znuny and before that OTRS for atleast 15 years in the company without any major issues.

    @piratehonk @jollyorc alternative: www.zammad.org. Docker compose installation, but does include a KB.
    You should keep up with updates.

    @jollyorc
    Request tracker from best practical

    Edit: It is a perl thing that runs in/around apache and has lots of options for routing/ fetching emails. It's likely packaged for your distro already

    Yeah definitely keep at it with the Wordpress plugin. obenland@mastodon.social and pfefferle@mastodon.social are working hard on it and improving it all the time! If it didn't work for you before it could very well be a completely different experience the next time around. johentsch@hostux.social

    I'm really hoping for Fediverse help here.I have a 14 year old niece. She's incredibly smart and extremely motivated when it comes to engineering things.I want to get her some electronics stuff, like an Arduino kit, but maybe something with wearables, etc. to make it more relevant to her than just a breadboard.She'll also need some books on electronics, since she doesn't have the background in that.Sadly, some limitations:- I can't help her. Her mother won't let my wife or I talk to her. This gift itself will have to be given through a third party.- She has a learning disability around reading- likely dyslexia, and so we need material that's easy to read- Her English is not amazing, especially because of the learning disability.So I'm looking for a kit with a ton of instructional material. Programming, electronics, breadboard, the whole kit and kaboodle.If you have ideas, please share, and boost!#Maker #Arduino #Wearables #FediHelp #Electronics

    @sharan then dual booting is going to be a huge PITN if you plan on having Linux as your primary, and the VM solution might be worth looking into. If Windows will remain your primary OS than it won't matter that much.
