About the Project

Scheduling infrastructure for absolutely everyone

The open source Calendly alternative. You are in charge of your own data, workflow, and appearance.

Calendly and other scheduling tools are awesome. It made our lives massively easier. We're using it for business meetings, seminars, yoga classes, and even calls with our families. However, most tools are very limited in terms of control and customization.

That's where Cal.com comes in. Self-hosted or hosted by us. White-label by design. API-driven and ready to be deployed on your own domain. Full control of your events and data.

Stay Up-to-Date

Cal.com officially launched as v.1.0 on the 15th of September 2021 and we've come a long way so far. Watch releases of this repository to be notified of future updates:

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, please follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

Here is what you need to be able to run Cal.com.

• Node.js (Version: >=18.x)
• PostgreSQL
• Yarn (recommended)

If you want to enable any of the available integrations, you may want to obtain additional credentials for each one. More details on this can be found below under the integrations section.

Development

Setup

1. Clone the repo into a public GitHub repository (or fork https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/fork). If you plan to distribute the code, keep the source code public to comply with AGPLv3. To clone in a private repository, acquire a commercial license)

   git clone https://github.com/calcom/cal.com.git
   

   If you are on Windows, run the following command on gitbash with admin privileges:
   > git clone -c core.symlinks=true https://github.com/calcom/cal.com.git
   See docs for more details.

2. Go to the project folder

   cd cal.com
   

3. Install packages with yarn

   yarn
   

4. Set up your .env file

   • Duplicate .env.example to .env
   • Use openssl rand -base64 32 to generate a key and add it under NEXTAUTH_SECRET in the .env file.
   • Use openssl rand -base64 24 to generate a key and add it under CALENDSO_ENCRYPTION_KEY in the .env file.

5. Setup Node If your Node version does not meet the project's requirements as instructed by the docs, "nvm" (Node Version Manager) allows using Node at the version required by the project:

   nvm use
   

   You first might need to install the specific version and then use it:

   nvm install && nvm use
   

   You can install nvm from here.

Quick start with yarn dx

• Requires Docker and Docker Compose to be installed
• Will start a local Postgres instance with a few test users - the credentials will be logged in the console

yarn dx

Development tip

Add NEXT_PUBLIC_DEBUG=1 anywhere in your .env to get logging information for all the queries and mutations driven by tRPC.

echo 'NEXT_PUBLIC_DEBUG=1' >> .env

Gitpod Setup

1. Click the button below to open this project in Gitpod.

2. This will open a fully configured workspace in your browser with all the necessary dependencies already installed.

Manual setup

1. Configure environment variables in the .env file. Replace <user>, <pass>, <db-host>, and <db-port> with their applicable values

   DATABASE_URL='postgresql://<user>:<pass>@<db-host>:<db-port>'
   

   If you don't know how to configure the DATABASE_URL, then follow the steps here to create a quick local DB

   1. Download and install postgres in your local (if you don't have it already).

   2. Create your own local db by executing createDB <DB name>

   3. Now open your psql shell with the DB you created: psql -h localhost -U postgres -d <DB name>

   4. Inside the psql shell execute \conninfo. And you will get the following info.
      

   5. Now extract all the info and add it to your DATABASE_URL. The url would look something like this postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/Your-DB-Name.

   If you don't want to create a local DB. Then you can also consider using services like railway.app or render.

   • Setup postgres DB with railway.app
   • Setup postgres DB with render

2. Copy and paste your DATABASE_URL from .env to .env.appStore.

3. Set a 32 character random string in your .env file for the CALENDSO_ENCRYPTION_KEY (You can use a command like openssl rand -base64 24 to generate one).

4. Set up the database using the Prisma schema (found in packages/prisma/schema.prisma)

   In a development environment, run:

   yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-migrate
   

   In a production environment, run:

   yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-deploy
   

5. Run mailhog to view emails sent during development

   NOTE: Required when E2E_TEST_MAILHOG_ENABLED is "1"

   docker pull mailhog/mailhog
   docker run -d -p 8025:8025 -p 1025:1025 mailhog/mailhog
   

6. Run (in development mode)

   yarn dev
   

Setting up your first user

Approach 1

1. Open Prisma Studio to look at or modify the database content:

   yarn db-studio
   

2. Click on the User model to add a new user record.

3. Fill out the fields email, username, password, and set metadata to empty {} (remembering to encrypt your password with BCrypt) and click Save 1 Record to create your first user.

   New users are set on a TRIAL plan by default. You might want to adjust this behavior to your needs in the packages/prisma/schema.prisma file.

4. Open a browser to http://localhost:3000 and login with your just created, first user.

Approach 2

Seed the local db by running

cd packages/prisma
yarn db-seed

The above command will populate the local db with dummy users.

E2E-Testing

Be sure to set the environment variable NEXTAUTH_URL to the correct value. If you are running locally, as the documentation within .env.example mentions, the value should be http://localhost:3000.

# In a terminal just run:
yarn test-e2e

# To open the last HTML report run:
yarn playwright show-report test-results/reports/playwright-html-report

Resolving issues

E2E test browsers not installed

Run npx playwright install to download test browsers and resolve the error below when running yarn test-e2e:

Executable doesn't exist at /Users/alice/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium-1048/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium

Upgrading from earlier versions

1. Pull the current version:

   git pull
   

2. Check if dependencies got added/updated/removed

   yarn
   

3. Apply database migrations by running one of the following commands:

   In a development environment, run:

   yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-migrate
   

   (This can clear your development database in some cases)

   In a production environment, run:

   yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-deploy
   

4. Check for .env variables changes

   yarn predev
   

5. Start the server. In a development environment, just do:

   yarn dev
   

   For a production build, run for example:

   yarn build
   yarn start
   

6. Enjoy the new version.

Enabling Content Security Policy

• Set CSP_POLICY="non-strict" env variable, which enables Strict CSP except for unsafe-inline in style-src . If you have some custom changes in your instance, you might have to make some code change to make your instance CSP compatible. Right now it enables strict CSP only on login page and on other SSR pages it is enabled in Report only mode to detect possible issues. On, SSG pages it is still not supported.
