Guild.so is an open-source self-hosted team management solution.
A guild is a group of people who are on a mission to complete a common goal. Your team is your guild, and this self-hosted solution will put the simplicity back into organizing a team.
Guild.so is a simple dashboard of company announcements, team member availability, and team member status. Keeping it simple, because managing your "management system" shouldn't be a task in itself.
Guild.so is based on Laravel 8 and Jetstream so you can run it just like a standard Laravel application. Here are 2 ways of running Guild.so:
We utilize the "Deploy to DigitalOcean" Button to deploy to the App Platform:
NOTE: This repository contains a pre-generated application key stored in the
.do/deploy.template.yamlYAML file. During the deployment make sure to generate a new App Key and use it instead of the dummy value!
You can utilize the DigitalOcean Spaces to store your static file uploads like profile pictures and etc.
In order to use Spaces make sure to add the following ENV variables:
DO_SPACES=true
DO_SPACES_KEY=YOUR_DO_SPACES_KEY
DO_SPACES_SECRET=YOUR_DO_SPACES_SECRET
DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT=YOUR_DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT
DO_SPACES_REGION=YOUR_DO_SPACES_REGION
DO_SPACES_BUCKET=YOUR_DO_SPACES_BUCKET
That way if you deploy to the DigitalOcean App platform, your uplodas will be stored to a persistant volume so you won't loose then during the next deploy.
You can use the LaraSail script to get your Linux server ready for Laravel 8:

Once your server is up and running use git clone to clone the repositry and do a standard Laravel installation:
- Create a Database:
During the installation we need to use a MySQL database. You will need to create a new database and save the credentials for the next step.
- Update the
.envfile
Copy the .env.example file to .env and update your Database details in there:
APP_URL=http://guild.test
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=guild
DB_USERNAME=guild
DB_PASSWORD=guild_password
- Composer Install
composer install
- Install the NPM dependencies:
npm install && npm run dev
- Migrate Database
php artisan migrate
By default Guild.so uses Laravel Events for the Slack and Discord Notifications.
To make things more optimal you can implement the ShouldQueue contact to the Notification Listeners so that the notifications are sent via a worker and not at the sime time when a user presses a button. To do that edit these two files:
app/Listeners/Notifications/DiscordNotification.phpand update the class to:
class DiscordNotification implements ShouldQueue
app/Listeners/Notifications/SlackNotification.phpand update the class to:
class SlackNotification implements ShouldQueue
After that you need to specify your queue driver to either database or redis in your ENV faile or the DigitalOcean App platform, if you decided to go for Redis make sure to update your Redis ENV variables as well!
Finally make sure to set the php artisan queue:work command to run at all times so that it could process your queues. If you are using the DigitalOcean App platform you can achieve this with a Worker Component.
