Self-host OroCRM

OroCRM is an enterprise-grade open-source CRM built on Symfony, with workflow automation, marketing-automation tooling, and a B2B-oriented sales pipeline. Oro's dedicated oroinc/crm-application Docker image was discontinued in November 2021 (confirmed via Docker Hub: last push 2021-11-18, and its entrypoint no longer runs at all). Self-hosting OroCRM today means running the actively maintained oroinc/orocommerce-application image from the same official docker-demo compose — OroCommerce is Oro's current platform and bundles the CRM feature set.

Key facts

What you need

• Any VPS with at least 2048 MB of RAM
• A domain you control — most self-hosted setups need HTTPS in front of them
• About the better part of a day

Install

Run these commands on your server:

copy# OroCRM — official docker-demo compose (nginx + php-fpm + workers + Postgres)
# Oro's own docs flag this compose as a demo, not a hardened production setup
# oroinc/crm-application is discontinued (last published 2021, entrypoint no longer runs) —
# this uses the compose's default oroinc/orocommerce-application image instead, which is
# actively maintained and includes OroCRM's feature set
git clone https://github.com/oroinc/docker-demo.git && cd docker-demo
echo "127.0.0.1 oro.demo" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
docker compose up restore
docker compose up application  #  →  http://oro.demo  (admin / admin)
