This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Open Event Server on Alpine Linux Latest. Open Event Server is an open-source project from FOSSASIA that helps you to manage events and conferences.
Before installing Open Event Server, it is necessary to install some dependencies. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apk add python3-dev libffi-dev openssl-dev gcc musl-dev postgresql-dev
Open Event Server can be downloaded from Github. To download the source code, you need to install Git. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apk add git
Once you have installed Git, you can now clone the Open Event Server repository from the Github. Open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-server.git
Open Event Server requires some Python dependencies to function correctly. Open a terminal, navigate to the directory where you cloned the Open Event Server repository, and run the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Open Event Server requires a PostgreSQL database. You can install PostgreSQL on Alpine Linux by running the following command:
sudo apk add postgresql
After installing PostgreSQL on your machine, you need to create a database for Open Event Server. Open a terminal and run the following command:
createdb open_event_server
Open Event Server needs to be configured to use the database you created in step 5. Copy the example configuration file and edit it as per your configuration.
cp config.yml.example config.yml
Set the SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI variable to your PostgreSQL configuration. Replace **postgres** and **password** with your own PostgreSQL username and password.
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI:postgresql://postgres:password@localhost/open_event_server
Open a terminal, navigate to the directory where you cloned the Open Event Server repository and run the following command:
python3 server.py
This will start the Open Event Server on your machine. You can now access it by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:5000.
Congratulations! You now have Open Event Server installed on your machine running Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use it to manage your events and conferences.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
