Hi there,

What I would recommend here is to use their install script from their official repository here:

https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM/blob/master/install/install.sh

What you could do is:

  • Log in to your DigitalOcean account and create a new Droplet. You can choose Ubuntu as the operating system.
  • Choose a Droplet size that fits your needs. A basic Droplet with 2 GB of RAM should be sufficient for a small to medium-sized installation but you could consider a larger one as well.
  • Copy the install script to your server and run it with bash install.sh

An alternative option here is to use Docker if you are familiar with it:

https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM/tree/master/docker

Let me know how it goes and if you hit any issues.

Heya,

You can check the ChurchCRM github repo:

https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM

In it, there is an install.sh file.

Once inside your Droplet, wget them and run it with bash.

Alternatively, you can use docker:

https://github.com/ChurchCRM/Docker

That is the official repo for it.

Heya,

ChurchCRM is based on PHP and can run on any LAMP, LEMP stack droplet. You can spin up a Ubuntu 22.04 droplet and then clone the main repository from GitHub and run the install script.

ChurchCRM is also available in Softaculous so if you’re using cPanel droplet, then ChurchCRM will be available as a one-click install application.
