Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS MAUTIC
Mautic is the leading open-source marketing automation platform - a Symfony 7 PHP 8 web application served by Nginx with PHP-FPM and MariaDB. The bundled feature set covers email campaigns and broadcasts, drip workflows and trigger-based automation, lead segmentation and scoring, landing pages and signup forms, multi-channel campaigns (email, SMS, social), A/B testing, contact lifecycle reporting, REST API, and a web hook engine. Connects to any standard SMTP relay (Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Postfix) for outbound delivery. Persists contacts, segments, campaigns, templates, and tracking data in MariaDB. A drop-in self-hosted alternative to HubSpot, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, and Marketo for B2B teams, agencies, and GDPR-sensitive organisations who keep their contact database inside their own AWS account. GPL-3.0 license, governed by the Mautic community under the Open Source Collective - no per-contact fees, no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Per-instance MariaDB password generated and rotated at first launch (never the same on two deployments)
- Customer-driven admin via the upstream Mautic installer wizard - no admin account baked into the AMI
- MariaDB bound to 127.0.0.1 only - no exposed database port
- PHP-FPM auto-tuned at first launch (workers and OPcache sized from instance RAM)
- UFW firewall pre-configured - ports 22, 80, and 443 only
- fail2ban, AppArmor
- 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
- Mautic security baked in: per-instance MariaDB password rotated at first launch, customer-driven admin via the upstream Mautic installer wizard, UFW firewall pre-configured (ports 22, 80, 443 only), MariaDB bound to 127.0.0.1 only - unlike bare Mautic AMIs that ship with default DB credentials, an open installer endpoint anyone can claim, and no firewall by default.
- CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
- Self-hosted alternative to HubSpot, Mailchimp, and Marketo: email campaigns, drip workflows, lead segmentation and scoring, landing pages, REST API. GPL-3.0 license - no per-contact fees, no vendor lock-in.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch instance (t3.large recommended)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 22 from your IP, TCP 80 and 443 from your IP until the installer is complete, then widen to 0.0.0.0/0 for public access
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/mautic-credentials.txt
- Open http://<PUBLIC_IP>/ - the Mautic installer wizard starts automatically
- Database step: copy the MariaDB credentials from the credentials file. Admin user step: enter YOUR real email and a strong password - the first admin you create becomes the workspace owner.
The AMI does not bake any default admin credentials - YOU create the admin during the installer wizard. Restrict ports 80/443 to your IP until you have completed the installer. Credentials file: /root/mautic-credentials.txt at first launch. For production HTTPS: sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx && sudo certbot --nginx -d your.domain.com
