Pretix powers thousands of events and millions of ticket sales through a fully brandable ticket shop with interactive seating plans, 30+ payment providers, and a mobile check-in app for venue entry management. With over 2,400 GitHub stars, it delivers what organizations need when they demand full control over attendee data and revenue rather than surrendering margins to Eventbrite or Ticket Tailor. Built with Python and Django on PostgreSQL with Redis and Celery, the ticket shop adapts to your colors, logo, and domain with responsive design. The graphical seating plan editor handles everything from small cinemas to large stadiums, letting buyers choose seats mapped to pricing categories. Payment providers connect through plugins including Stripe, PayPal, Mollie for iDEAL and Bancontact, SEPA direct debit, and bank transfer with automatic CSV import for payment matching. The voucher engine generates bulk discount codes with usage limits, quota reservations, and automated email distribution. Waiting lists automatically offer released tickets to the next registrant with expiration deadlines. A built-in mini-CMS hosts event descriptions, terms of service, and static pages directly in the ticket shop. Customer accounts enable repeat buyers to check out faster across events. The pretixSCAN mobile app performs QR code check-in on Android and iOS with offline capability. Embeddable JavaScript widgets integrate the shop into any website. Plugin architecture extends functionality with output formats, analytics, and Apple Wallet passes. Deploy via Docker with the pretix/standalone image alongside PostgreSQL and Redis. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Hi.Events is an alternative to Eventbrite, Tickettailor, and Dice.fm, eliminating per-ticket platform fees entirely when self-hosted. Event organizers create fully brandable event pages supporting paid, free, donation, and tiered ticket types with recurring and multi-date scheduling, sold-out waitlists that automatically release tickets when spots open, and product add-ons with category organization. Stripe Connect integration processes payments directly to the organizer's bank account with instant payouts, while offline payment methods support cash and invoice scenarios. Promo codes offer fixed or percentage discounts with usage limits, expiry dates, and promo-gated hidden tickets for VIP access. QR code check-in enables fast door scanning with multiple check-in lists, scan logs, and real-time attendance tracking across entry points. Custom checkout questions collect attendee information beyond standard fields, with advanced search, filtering, CSV and XLSX export, full and partial refunds, and bulk attendee messaging. The analytics dashboard tracks daily sales, revenue, tax breakdowns, product performance, and promo code usage with exportable reports, while affiliate tracking assigns custom codes to promoters with tracked sales data. Multi-user roles control organizer permissions, automatic invoicing generates receipts, and the REST API ships with interactive OpenAPI documentation.

Alf.io handles the complete conference and event lifecycle from ticket distribution through check-in to financial reporting, built for organizers who refuse to surrender attendee data to third-party ticketing platforms like Eventbrite or Tito. Built on Java 17 with Spring Boot and PostgreSQL with row-level security policies, the project has earned over 1,500 GitHub stars from privacy-conscious event organizers across Europe and beyond. Payment processing supports Stripe for credit cards, Mollie for iDEAL, Bancontact, KBC/CBC, and Przelewy24, plus Revolut, PayPal, bank transfers, on-site collection, and configurable custom offline payment methods with localized instructions. Multi-tier ticket categories enable early bird, VIP, standard, and free registrations with promotional codes, group discounts, and waiting lists that automatically notify next-in-queue when cancellations occur. Customizable registration forms collect attendee data beyond standard fields, while EU VAT management validates tax IDs through the VIES web service and supports Italian e-invoicing with automatic PDF invoice generation attached to confirmation emails. The Alf.io Scan mobile app for iOS and Android performs QR code check-in at venue entrances, and the Alf.io-PI project provides Raspberry Pi-powered offline-capable check-in stations that form encrypted clusters for high-throughput badge printing at large events. Apple Wallet integration delivers digital passes via PassKit. The extensions system integrates with CRMs, accounting platforms, Slack, Telegram, and Mailjet. Multi-language support covers nine languages. Deploy via Docker with PostgreSQL. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPLv3 licensed.

From the call for abstracts to the badge handed over at the registration desk, Indico handles every step of running a conference, plus the weekly meetings and one-off lectures that fill the calendar around it. Events live in a nested tree of categories, and access rules can be set per category, event, session, or single contribution, with custom roles inside each event. Speakers submit abstracts, track reviewers score them against questions the organizers define, judges accept or reject them, and accepted talks become contributions that sit in a drag-and-drop timetable of color-coded sessions. Registration forms are assembled field by field, carry fees, and take payment through PayPal, Stripe, or SIX Payment plugins; attendees get QR-coded tickets, and a badge editor prints name tags for the whole room. A paper reviewing workflow collects full papers. Meeting pages keep minutes and slide decks attached to the talk they belong to. The room booking module adds approvals, recurring reservations, and audiovisual equipment, and the Zoom plugin creates online sessions straight from an event page. Calendar views span a month, week, or day, filter by category, and export to iCal for subscriptions. Scripts pull event data from the HTTP export API as JSON or XML with personal API tokens. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Passive slide decks put audiences to sleep, which is why Claper turns any presentation into a two-way live session where every attendee can vote in polls, submit questions, and react in real time from their phone. Speakers upload existing PDF or PowerPoint decks directly into the web studio and interleave interactive poll, quiz, form, and web embed slides between their static pages without rebuilding presentations from scratch. Conference organizers and educators share a short join code or QR link so hundreds of participants can enter the attendee room instantly from any mobile browser without installing an app or creating an account. During the talk, the presenter console displays incoming audience questions sorted by upvote popularity, alongside moderation controls to approve, pin, hide, or mark inquiries as answered on the main screen. Live polling supports multiple-choice, rating scale, and open-text prompts that animate into real-time bar charts and percentage breakdowns as votes arrive, while timed quizzes grade participant responses automatically. Integrated real-time speech transcription generates live captions and searchable session transcripts so international and hearing-impaired attendees can follow every spoken word. Universities and corporate training teams connect Claper directly to Moodle or OpenID Connect identity providers via LTI 1.3 to synchronize student rosters, push quiz scores to gradebooks, and export complete CSV engagement reports after every session.

Organizers running sports leagues, gaming tournaments, and community athletics can deploy Bracket as an open-source competition control hub that coordinates multi-stage events without recurring SaaS subscription fees. Competition directors can configure multi-tier tournament topologies combining single elimination, double elimination, round-robin pools, and dynamic Swiss format brackets within a unified event schedule. An interactive calendar grid enables operators to drag and drop fixtures between designated courts, assign start times, and balance player recovery intervals across multiple playing areas. Public dashboard displays generate real-time match outcomes, court assignments, and standings boards that spectators can monitor on mobile devices or overhead venue monitors with customized team logos. Club administrators can manage multiple regional athletic organizations, register rosters through bulk CSV spreadsheet imports, and coordinate simultaneous divisions spanning amateur and championship flights. Integrated OpenAPI REST endpoints allow external scoring overlays, live stream graphic generators, and automated result bots to query match statuses or submit verified referee scorecards programmatically.

By turning any browser into an interactive trivia controller and live scoreboard, Razzia gives event hosts, educators, and communities a self-hosted multiplayer quiz platform that replaces Kahoot. Players join in seconds with a six-digit room PIN or scannable QR code on their smartphones, while the host drives the shared screen from a password-protected manager console. Build quizzes directly inside the browser-based editor or import portable JSON files with single-choice, multiple-choice, numeric estimation, and ungraded survey questions. Attach images, audio clips, or video files up to 100 MB to any prompt, group questions into themed round categories, and display explanatory notes when correct answers are revealed. Scoring adapts to your rules: reward fast responses with time-weighted points, apply strict, balanced, or lenient multi-select grading, deduct penalties for wrong guesses, or switch to survey mode to gather live audience polls without a leaderboard. Hosts can lock rooms mid-game, enable automatic nickname generation, hide question prompts on player screens, and configure auto-advance timers between rounds. Drop a custom theme file and logos into the branding folder to white-label colors, fonts, and backgrounds, or connect physical ESP32 hardware buzzers over the documented WebSocket protocol.

Service businesses get a booking page without per-booking commissions or monthly SaaS fees from Easy!Appointments, the self-hosted appointment scheduler. Customers pick a service, provider, and open time slot from a clean web form; the system enforces working plans, breaks, and booking rules you define per provider, then confirms by email to both sides. The structure fits real service organizations: multiple providers with individual schedules, multiple service types with their own durations and prices, and admin/secretary roles for front-desk management. Two-way Google Calendar synchronization keeps each provider's external calendar authoritative - book in Easy!Appointments and it appears in Google Calendar, block time in Google and the slot disappears from the booking form. Version 1.6 adds SMS notifications and payment support, and a REST API opens the scheduling data to custom integrations. Built on PHP (CodeIgniter) with MySQL, it installs in a single folder and can share a database with your existing site; a WordPress plugin embeds the booking form directly in pages or posts. The interface ships in dozens of languages with time-zone handling throughout. GPL-3.0 licensed and free for commercial use - a helpdesk, clinic, salon, or consultancy runs its whole booking workflow on its own server.

Conference rooms, equipment, boats, and even people can be reserved through LibreBooking, a self-hosted scheduler that keeps double bookings off the calendar. Schedules define bookable time slots with custom layouts and seasonal availability, while each resource carries its own minimum and maximum duration, buffer time, lead time, capacity, and optional approval step. Check-in and check-out can release unclaimed slots automatically, and blackout times close resources for maintenance. Quotas stack limits by hours or reservation count, credits meter peak and off-peak usage, and users can buy credits through Stripe or PayPal. Accessories such as projectors or chairs ride along with a booking under their own quantity limits. Groups carry application, group, resource, and schedule administrator roles, and custom attributes extend reservations, resources, and users with text, dropdown, date, or checkbox fields. Reports can be charted, exported to CSV, printed, or emailed, and public resources publish RSS and iCalendar feeds for Outlook and Thunderbird plus an embeddable calendar snippet. A tablet view beside a door shows live availability for on-the-spot booking, a monitor view fills lobby screens, and a Slack command starts a reservation. Sign-in options include LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth2, and SAML, and the REST JSON API automates bookings. Users can join waitlists, request reminder emails, and accept terms of service before booking, while six color themes restyle the interface.

Created by Jeff Atwood, co-founder of Stack Overflow, and battle-tested for over a decade with 47,600+ GitHub stars, Discourse powers community forums for GitHub, Docker, Rust, Netlify, and thousands of organizations worldwide. The platform combines long-form threaded discussion with built-in real-time chat, enabling communities to move fluidly between asynchronous conversations and live interaction. Five automated trust levels progressively unlock permissions — posting links, editing wiki posts, flagging content, and moderating — based on reading time, post count, and community engagement, reducing spam and abuse without manual intervention. The Discourse AI plugin integrates with OpenAI, Anthropic, and self-hosted HuggingFace endpoints for automated topic summarization, sentiment analysis, semantic search, and AI-assisted content triage. Over 200 official and community plugins extend functionality with features like the Data Explorer for ad-hoc SQL queries against the forum database, polls, solved-topic marking, voting, calendar events, and custom user fields. SSO and OAuth support connects Google, Facebook, Apple, GitHub, and SAML identity providers, while reply-by-email and mailing list mode let users participate entirely through their inbox. The Ember.js single-page frontend delivers responsive performance across all devices with PWA support and web push notifications. Deployment uses Docker via the official discourse_docker launcher with automatic Let's Encrypt HTTPS, resource scaling based on server hardware, and support for single-container or multi-container configurations.
