Attendize is an open-source event ticketing and management platform that can be used to sell tickets online and manage events. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Attendize on Linux Mint.
To install Attendize, we need to first install the following dependencies:
You can install all these dependencies by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php mysql-server composer
Now we need to clone the Attendize repository to our web server. First, navigate to the web server's document root directory by running the following command:
cd /var/www/html/
Next, clone the Attendize repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/attendize/attendize.git
Now we need to create a new virtual host configuration file for Attendize. Run the following command to create a new Apache configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/attendize.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/attendize/public
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/attendize/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace admin@example.com and example.com with your own email and domain name.
Next, enable the Attendize virtual host and restart Apache:
sudo a2ensite attendize.conf
sudo service apache2 restart
Navigate to the Attendize directory and copy the .env.example file to .env:
cd /var/www/html/attendize/
sudo cp .env.example .env
Open the .env file in your favorite text editor and set the following variables:
APP_URL=http://example.com // Replace example.com with your own domain
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 // Replace if using a different MySQL/MariaDB host
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=attendize
DB_USERNAME=root // Replace with your MySQL/MariaDB username
DB_PASSWORD=secret // Replace with your MySQL/MariaDB password
Save and exit the file.
Next, install Attendize's dependencies:
sudo composer install
Generate an application key:
php artisan key:generate
Finally, run the following command to migrate the database:
php artisan migrate --seed
This will create the necessary tables in the database.
Now you can access Attendize by visiting your domain in your web browser. If you followed the configuration in this tutorial, you should see the Attendize installation page at http://example.com. Follow the instructions on the page to create your first event.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Attendize on Linux Mint!
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!
