Sentrifugo Hosting
Sentrifugo is an open-source human resource management system, not a customer relationship management platform. Its historical modules cover employee records, leave, performance appraisals, talent acquisition, background checks, expenses, assets, service requests, analytics, and employee self-service.
Sentrifugo is relevant mainly to organizations maintaining an existing installation or recovering HR records for migration. Its public documentation and system requirements target old runtime versions, so organizations seeking a new HR system should choose actively supported software with current security guidance and modern platform compatibility.

Sentrifugo Overview and Features
Who Sentrifugo Is For
Sentrifugo is relevant mainly to organizations maintaining an existing installation or recovering HR records for migration. Its public documentation and system requirements target old runtime versions, so organizations seeking a new HR system should choose actively supported software with current security guidance and modern platform compatibility.
Sentrifugo was published as free, open-source software under the GNU General Public License version 3. Retain the license and notices included with the exact package, and separately review third-party libraries, integrations, local modifications, and any community-maintained forks.
Maintenance and Compatibility Notice
Sentrifugo should be treated as legacy software. The official project materials document PHP 5.3-era requirements, and the original project website and release channels no longer provide a clear modern maintenance or security lifecycle. Do not deploy it as a new public production system without a thorough code, dependency, and runtime review.
Employee information
Store employee profiles, organizational assignments, documents, and employment details.
Leave management
Configure leave types and support employee requests and approval workflows.
Performance appraisals
Create appraisal processes and review employee performance over defined periods.
Talent acquisition
Manage recruitment information and candidate activity in the historical module.
Expenses and assets
Record applicable employee expenses, organizational assets, and service requests.
Analytics and self-service
Provide role-based employee access and historical HR reporting tools.

Ways to Use Sentrifugo
Legacy HR record access
Keep an existing installation available privately while preparing a replacement.
Leave administration
Continue established leave requests, approvals, and balances during transition.
Performance history
Retrieve appraisal cycles, ratings, comments, and related employee records.
Migration source
Export employees, organizational data, documents, leave, and other HR records.
Installing Sentrifugo
RSH Web Services offers Sentrifugo installation through Softaculous in cPanel. Use the installer first to create the application files and any required database or administrator account. For manual installation, obtain the trusted current package, follow its official instructions, protect configuration and storage paths, and apply only documented permissions. RSH Web Services can help with installation.
Hosting Requirements
Official Sentrifugo documentation describes PHP 5.3 or later, Apache, and a MySQL-compatible database with required PHP extensions and writable directories. Those minimums are obsolete and unsafe as a production target. Existing sites should use a tightly restricted, tested environment only long enough to export data and complete migration.
Setup Checklist
Configure administrator credentials, staff roles, records, mail, imports, document storage, scheduled jobs, and backups that apply to this platform. Test daily workflows with non-administrator accounts before production use.
Migrating or Upgrading Sentrifugo
Begin with cPanel backups of the application, configuration, database when used, and all managed files. For a Softaculous-managed installation, use only the backup, clone, restore, or upgrade controls displayed for Sentrifugo before manual steps. Follow the documented version path and test users, roles, records, imports, reports, documents, integrations, and scheduled jobs on a private copy. Softaculous upgrades Sentrifugo only; it does not convert another CRM or HR platform into Sentrifugo.
Sentrifugo Security
Restrict access to trusted users, use unique credentials, apply least-privilege application and filesystem roles, protect employee or customer records, and secure configuration and uploaded-document paths. Review logs, remove unused accounts, and install supported security updates after testing. Hosting protections add useful layers but cannot repair unsupported application code or prevent damage by an overprivileged account.
Backups and Recovery
Back up the application, configuration, database when used, user accounts, roles, employee or customer records, documents, reports, and configuration needed for recovery. Keep multiple dated restore points and at least one copy outside the hosting account. Restore a private copy periodically and confirm that users, roles, records, documents, reports, email, and scheduled jobs work together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should user roles be configured in Sentrifugo?
Give each person only the permissions required for their work. Separate system administrators, managers, finance users, sales or service staff, and read-only users as the application allows. Test every role with a non-administrator account, document who can export, delete, invoice, change settings, or view sensitive records, and review access whenever responsibilities change.
What customer data should be stored in Sentrifugo?
Store only information needed for a defined business or organizational purpose. Establish rules for contact details, communications, financial records, notes, uploaded documents, and custom fields. Avoid unrestricted free-form notes containing unnecessary sensitive data. Document the lawful basis, retention period, correction process, export procedure, and deletion responsibilities that apply to each record category.
How should duplicate contacts be handled in Sentrifugo?
Define a matching process before importing data, using reliable identifiers such as organization, email, account number, or another approved field. Review suspected matches manually when records contain transactions or activity history. Merge only with a tested procedure, preserve ownership and relationships, and keep a backup so an incorrect merge does not permanently damage customer or organizational records.
What should be tested before updating Sentrifugo?
Create matched backups and reproduce the installation in a private staging location. Follow the official upgrade path for the exact source and target versions. Test logins, roles, contacts, searches, imports, exports, email, reports, documents, scheduled jobs, enabled modules, and integrations. Confirm that the rollback procedure works before applying the update to production.
Can Sentrifugo replace an independent backup system?
No. Application features organize records but do not protect against a compromised administrator, failed upgrade, damaged database, deleted files, or account-level outage. Back up the application, configuration, database, uploaded documents, custom modules, and scheduled-task settings as one recovery set. Keep dated copies outside the live account and periodically test a private restoration.
How should email integration in Sentrifugo be secured?
Use a dedicated mailbox or approved service account, modern authentication where supported, and the minimum mailbox permissions necessary. Protect tokens and credentials, restrict who can send or read messages, and review logs for failures or unusual activity. Test threading, attachments, retention, opt-out handling, and shared-mailbox behavior before connecting a production customer mailbox.
How do I migrate records into Sentrifugo?
Clean and map source fields before import, then test a small representative batch. Preserve stable identifiers for organizations, contacts, transactions, activities, and ownership where supported. Check character encoding, dates, currencies, required fields, attachments, and duplicate rules. Compare record counts and sampled relationships after import, and retain the original export until users approve the result.
What reports should be checked after moving Sentrifugo?
Compare totals and record counts for customers, contacts, open activities, financial documents, projects, tickets, or other enabled modules. Run the same date ranges and filters on both systems, then inspect samples with attachments and linked records. Differences should be explained before launch, especially where reports support billing, accounting, compliance, or operational decisions.
How can Sentrifugo be recovered after a failed change?
Stop new activity and preserve the current application files, database, configuration, uploads, and logs. Restore a matched backup set to a private location and test logins, permissions, records, searches, reports, documents, email, and scheduled jobs. Avoid combining files and databases from different dates. Record the failure cause before attempting the change again.
