Welcome to Zammad

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/ticket system with many features to manage customer communication via several channels like telephone, facebook, twitter, chat and emails. It is distributed under the GNU AFFERO General Public License (AGPL). Do you receive many emails and want to answer them with a team of agents? You're going to love Zammad!

Using a reverse proxy

In environments with more then one web applications it is necessary to use a reverse proxy to route connections to port 80 and 443 to the right application. To run Zammad behind a reverse proxy, we provide docker-compose.proxy-example.yml as a starting point.

  1. Copy ./.examples/proxy/docker-compose.proxy-example.yml to your own configuration, e.g. ./docker-compose.prod.yml cp ./.examples/proxy/docker-compose.proxy-example.yml ./docker-compose.prod.yml
  2. Modify the environment variable VIRTUAL_HOST and the name of the external network in ./docker-compose.prod.yml to fit your environment.
  3. Run docker-composer commands with the default and your configuration, e.g. docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

See .examples/proxy/docker-compose.yml for an example proxy project.

Like this, you can add your docker-compose.prod.yml to a branch of your Git repository and stay up to date by merging changes to your branch.

Running without Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is an optional, but strongly recommended dependency for Zammad. More details can be found in the documentation. There are however certain scenarios when running without Elasticsearch may be desired, e.g. for very small teams, for teams with limited budget or as a temporary solution for an unplanned Elasticsearch downtime or planned cluster upgrade.

Elasticsearch is enabled by default in the example docker-compose.yml file. It is also by default required to run the "zammad-init" command. Disabling Elasticsearch is possible by setting a special environment variable: ELASTICSEARCH_ENABLED=false for the zammad-init container and removing all references to Elasticsearch everywhere else: the zammad-elasticsearch container, its volume and links to it.
