Self-hosted ticketing system with markdown notes and Docker deployment
A responsive, self-hosted help-desk platform offering markdown-based ticket creation, file uploads, client history, and easy Docker or one-click deployment for teams of any size.

Peppermint is a responsive ticket management solution designed for help desks and service teams. It provides a markdown editor for ticket creation, supports file uploads, and maintains a searchable log of client interactions. Integrated notebook features let users add todo lists and knowledge‑base entries, keeping troubleshooting steps close at hand.
The application can be launched quickly with a Docker‑Compose file or managed via PM2, and a one‑click installer is available on the Linode Marketplace for Ubuntu/Debian. Its simple, logical workflow reduces onboarding time, while the UI scales from mobile devices to 4K screens, ensuring a consistent experience across environments.
Ideal for small to medium organizations that prefer on‑premise control over support data and want a cost‑effective alternative to commercial platforms like Zendesk or Jira.
When teams consider Peppermint, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
