This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support.
SuiteCRM is a self-hosted Customer Relationship Management platform delivered as a PHP 8.3 + MySQL 8.0 + Nginx stack - accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, cases, campaigns, and a REST API. A SugarCRM Community Edition successor, it fits migrations off legacy Sugar. This AMI ships the AGPL-3.0 edition, fully functional out of the box - no external account, subscription, or license key required. This Lynxroute build is hardened and ready out of the box: per-instance admin password generated on first launch, install locked after setup, self-signed TLS on TCP 443, MySQL bound to 127.0.0.1, UFW firewall pre-configured, on a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
AGPL-3.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support.
WHAT IS SUITECRM
SuiteCRM is a self-hosted Customer Relationship Management platform implemented in PHP 8.3, served by Nginx with PHP-FPM over MySQL 8.0. A community-driven successor to SugarCRM Community Edition, it covers the full revenue pipeline - accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, cases, campaigns, quotes, calendar, projects, reports, and dashboards - with role-based access control, security groups, multi-currency support, custom modules and fields via Studio, workflow automation, a built-in scheduler for background jobs, and email-to-record handling. SuiteCRM connects to any standard SMTP relay (Amazon SES, SendGrid, Postmark, Mailgun, or self-hosted Postfix), reads inbound mail over IMAP, supports SSO via OAuth2 and LDAP, and exposes a V8 REST API for integrations. This AMI ships the AGPL-3.0 edition and runs entirely on the EC2 instance you launch - no external account, subscription, license key, or activation handshake is required. All data stays inside your own AWS account.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Per-instance SuiteCRM admin password generated on first launch and written to /root/suitecrm-credentials.txt (mode 0600) - never baked into the AMI
- Silent install runs once on first launch and is then disabled - no setup wizard exposed on the public internet
- MySQL 8.0 listens on 127.0.0.1 only; the database user password is generated per instance
- PHP-FPM workers and MySQL InnoDB buffer pool auto-sized to the instance RAM at launch
- Background scheduler runs automatically as a managed system service - no manual cron setup
- Session handling tuned for cloud networking, so users are not logged out behind proxies or changing client IP addresses
- Self-signed TLS certificate generated during the AMI build - HTTPS on TCP 443 from launch, HTTP on TCP 80 redirects to HTTPS
- UFW firewall pre-configured - only TCP 22 and 443 are exposed
- fail2ban with default SSH jail; AppArmor with default Ubuntu profiles
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
- SuiteCRM security baked in: per-instance admin password generated on first launch, install locked after setup, self-signed TLS on TCP 443 with HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect, MySQL bound to 127.0.0.1 only.

Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
t3.large Recommended | $0.05 |
m6i.large | $0.05 |
m6i.xlarge | $0.05 |
t3.medium | $0.05 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you launch. All four options run the same hardened SuiteCRM image, so pricing scales with compute capacity, not features. The t3.medium and t3.large are burstable general-purpose instances for lighter or variable workloads. The m6i.large and m6i.xlarge are fixed-performance general-purpose instances for steadier demand. Within each family, the larger size adds more CPU and memory. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, and you can switch sizes as your needs change.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay for the running instance-hours of the EC2 size you launch. Each option runs a hardened SuiteCRM image built on CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The image ships with CVE scanning, an SBOM, and unique credentials generated at first boot. Larger sizes give more CPU and memory.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. Stopped instances do not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS storage fees may still apply for stopped instances, but those are separate from the SuiteCRM image charge. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs.
The t3.medium and t3.large are burstable instances. They accumulate credits during light use and spend them during spikes, which suits variable or lighter workloads. The m6i.large and m6i.xlarge deliver fixed, steady performance for continuous demand. All four run the same hardened image, so cost reflects compute capacity only.

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.
Version release notes

- Certbot pre-installed - enable HTTPS with one command: sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
- Rebuilt on the latest CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch instance (t3.large recommended)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 from your IP first; open to 0.0.0.0/0 after you have logged in and changed the admin password (anyone reaching the URL before you can also log in with the generated password)
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Wait on first launch - the URL shows a "Starting up" splash for 3-6 minutes while the database schema and admin user are created. This first-boot provisioning runs once; later boots are fast.
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/suitecrm-credentials.txt
- Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
- Log in as admin with the password from the credentials file
- Change the admin password immediately (admin profile -> Edit -> Password) and add your real users (Admin -> User Management)
Credentials are saved to /root/suitecrm-credentials.txt at first launch. The background scheduler that drives SuiteCRM jobs (workflows, scheduled reports, inbound email) runs automatically - no crontab setup needed. Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate for production use. The firewall exposes TCP 22 and 443 only; to use the Let's Encrypt HTTP-01 challenge, open TCP 80 in both the Security Group and UFW first: sudo ufw allow 80/tcp sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx -y sudo certbot --nginx -d your.domain.com
