Tutorial: How to install Alf.io on macOS using Docker

Alf.io is an open source event management software that can help you manage events, conferences and other gatherins. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Alf.io on macOS using Docker.

Prerequisites:

• macOS with Docker installed.
• A basic understanding of Docker.
• Access to a terminal.

Step 1: Install Docker

If you have not installed Docker on your Mac yet, you can download and install it by visiting the Docker website at https://www.docker.com/get-started. Once installed, ensure that it is running properly.

Step 2: Download and run Alf.io Docker image

1. Open the terminal on your Mac.
2. Navigate to the directory you would like to keep Alf.io data in by typing:

cd <directory_name>

3. Download the Alf.io Docker image by typing:

docker pull alfio/alf.io:latest

4. Once the image is downloaded, run the following command to start Alf.io:

docker run -d \
    --name alfio \
    -p 80:80 \
    -v $(pwd)/data:/data \
    alfio/alf.io:latest

This will create a Docker container named “alfio” that will hold Alf.io and its data.

Step 3: Accessing Alf.io

Now that Alf.io is running, you can access it by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:

http://localhost:80/

This will open Alf.io in your web browser. You can then proceed to configure and use Alf.io for your event management needs.

Conclusion

Alf.io is now installed and running on macOS, allowing you to easily manage your events and conferences. By following this tutorial, you should now be able to download and install Alf.io using Docker, and start using it right away.

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!
