Open Event Server is an event management platform that can manage events, create schedules, and sell tickets. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Open Event Server on Kali Linux, the latest version.
Before starting with the installation process, ensure you have the following:
The first step is to clone the Open Event Server repository to your Kali Linux machine. Open your terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-server.git
Ensure that Git is installed on your machine.
After cloning the repository, navigate to the project directory by running the following command:
cd open-event-server
Now, install the project dependencies by running:
npm install
This command will install all the dependencies required to run Open Event Server.
To configure the database, create a new database in PostgreSQL. You can use the psql tool for this purpose:
sudo -u postgres psql
Now, create a database:
CREATE DATABASE open_events;
Create a new user:
CREATE USER open_user WITH PASSWORD 'password';
Grant access to the newly created user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE open_events TO open_user;
After that, create a new file config/local-config.json in the Open Event Server directory and add the following code to it:
{
"database": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5432,
"name": "open_events",
"username": "open_user",
"password": "password",
"ssl": false
}
}
Replace the username and password with the ones you created during the database configuration.
Finally, you can start the Open Event Server by running the following command:
npm start
This command will start the server and make it accessible at http://localhost:5000/.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Open Event Server on Kali Linux. Now, you can start creating and managing events using Open Event Server.
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!
