It can be done, but it is not trivial. I've done similar conversions from another system to SW.
Definitely can be done. Custom script is going to be required.
Would the same script be usable by anyone converting from SpiceWorks to osTicket?
It depends on who writes the script. Because some folks in Spiceworks use Custom Fields to death, lol. That would make it that much harder to accurately transfer the data over.
If somebody can share their Spiceworks DB, I could come up with something... Just make an admin account and pass me the backup copy.

It would be generic, of course. All osTicket and SW databases are the same as each other respectively.

Got my eval VM running. Thanks for the guide @scottalanmiller and @dafyre for the extra command to get it going
Quick question if this VM is only going to run osTickets why not just place it in the www root instead of a subfolder like helpdesk or tickets etc.

Because it's proper convention to give each website it's own folder. Using WWW is poor practice.

You can if you want, but that's messy. Why not just point your web server to the right place

But if the only "website" is osTickets

.... it's still good practice.
Where do you put the new version when you go to update, where do you store your A/B flip backups? There are real reasons that people who do this never put things in the root, no matter what use case.
It's like saying "should I virtualize when I have only one workload?" Of course, that there were two or more was never the reason that we did that in the first place.

@dafyre Thanks a lot! I just stuck at that point as well!

Just installed this tonight and have been testing it out. So far, seems pretty basic, but functional. Does anyone know how this compares to FreshDesk?

Do not, I'm afraid. Have not used FreshDesk. osTicket is a little basic, but a lot of the functionality just requires taking the time to customize it for your needs, too. So far, we are still liking it.

I got it up and running last night, but all my email alerts are going to spam. How are you guys configuring email?

Whitelist or run through a relay or have it authenticate as a user on your email system.

What are you using for a relay?

@wirestyle22 I would actually not recommend using the source from github. The devs do some stuff to package it up for the download section at osticket.com/download. What do they do? Honestly I've never asked. But the version displayed on any github downloaded version is never right.

We always use Postfix. Not because it is the best but because it is good, free and we've used it for nearly two decades.

Had this installed in my lab at home and like it. Next step is getting this on a VM at my office to test it out with some real world usage. I'll either put it on a box at the office, or on a Vultr VM. It doesn't look like it would take much resources, so a low end VPS should be more than fine for this.
