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 customisations.

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.

Prerequisites

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

• Node.js
• 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

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

2. Go to the project folder

   cd cal.com
   

3. Copy apps/web/.env.example to apps/web/.env

   cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env
   cp packages/prisma/.env.example packages/prisma/.env
   

4. Install packages with yarn

   yarn
   

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 apps/web/.env to get logging information for all the queries and mutations driven by trpc.

echo 'NEXT_PUBLIC_DEBUG=1' >> apps/web/.env

Manual setup

1. Configure environment variables in the .env file. Replace <user>, <pass>, <db-host>, <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 DB using Heroku

   1. Create a free account with Heroku.

   2. Create a new app.

   3. In your new app, go to Overview and next to Installed add-ons, click Configure Add-ons. We need this to set up our database.

   4. Once you clicked on Configure Add-ons, click on Find more add-ons and search for postgres. One of the options will be Heroku Postgres - click on that option.

   5. Once the pop-up appears, click Submit Order Form - plan name should be Hobby Dev - Free.

   6. Once you completed the above steps, click on your newly created Heroku Postgres and go to its Settings.

   7. In Settings, copy your URI to your Cal.com .env file and replace the postgresql://<user>:<pass>@<db-host>:<db-port> with it.

   8. To view your DB, once you add new data in Prisma, you can use Heroku Data Explorer.

2. 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).

3. Set up the database using the Prisma schema (found in apps/web/prisma/schema.prisma)

   yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-deploy
   

4. Run (in development mode)

   yarn dev
   

Setting up your first user

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 apps/web/prisma/schema.prisma file.

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

E2E-Testing

# In first terminal. Must run on port 3000.
yarn dx
# In second terminal
yarn workspace @calcom/web test-e2e

# To open last HTML report run:
yarn workspace @calcom/web playwright-report

Upgrading from earlier versions

1. Pull the current version:

   git pull
   

2. 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
   

3. Check the .env.example and compare it to your current .env file. In case there are any fields not present in your current .env, add them there.

   For the current version, especially check if the variable BASE_URL is present and properly set in your environment, for example:

   BASE_URL='https://yourdomain.com'
   

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

   yarn dev
   

   For a production build, run for example:

   yarn build
   yarn start
   

5. Enjoy the new version.
