Pretix is an open-source ticketing software used for managing and organizing events. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Pretix on Debian Latest. Here are the steps to follow:
Before we start with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
To ensure that our system is up-to-date, we need to run the update command.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Pretix requires several dependencies that need to be installed before we can proceed with the installation.
sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-dev libpq-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev
We need to install and create a virtual environment where we will install Pretix.
sudo apt install -y python3-venv
Create a directory where we will create our virtual environment.
mkdir ~/venvs
Navigate to the ~/venvs directory and create a virtual environment.
cd ~/venvs
python3 -m venv pretix
Activate the virtual environment.
source pretix/bin/activate
Now that we have our virtual environment, we can proceed with installing Pretix.
pip install pretix
Create a PostgreSQL database and a user for Pretix.
sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE DATABASE pretix;
CREATE USER pretix_user WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE pretix TO pretix_user;
Exit the PostgreSQL console by typing exit.
Run the following command to initialize the database.
pretix migrate
Now we can start the Pretix development server by running the following command.
pretix devserver
This will start the development server at http://localhost:8000/.
In this tutorial, we have guided you on how to install Pretix on Debian Latest. You can now proceed with configuring and customizing Pretix to suit your event management needs.
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!
