Requirements

It needs a webserver (Apache, Nginx or IIS), PHP 8.3 to 8.5, and MySQL 8.0 or later, MariaDB 10.6 or later, or PostgreSQL 15.

Install methods

Installation by script.
Docker, with Docker Run and Docker Compose sections, plus Traefik and Caddy reverse proxy guides.
Manual install: "1. Download EspoCRM installation package 2. Upload EspoCRM files to your server".

Hosting options

No hosting guide is published. The vendor's own cloud starts at "Basic $15.00 per user/month minimum 3 users".

Backups and updates

The backup guide covers script and manual backups for normal installs, and script and automatic backups for Docker.
To upgrade, run "php command.php upgrade", which "will check whether the next version is available, download it and install."
